Billy Dee Williams Teases Major Star Wars Announcement
The Lando Calrissian Disney+ series is moving full steam ahead at Lucasfilm. Just yesterday news broke that Donald Glover and his brother would be taking over writing responsibilities with his brother. Now today, actor Billy Dee Williams took to Twitter to tease a major Star Wars Announcement coming soon. Williams originated the role of Lando in the Empire Strikes Back in 1980.
Williams shared an exciting message, “I am thrilled to share that something truly magnificent is coming soon,” Williams shared on Twitter. “This is a dream come true for me, on all that has sustained and carried me through a lifetime of dreams and adventure, it is my honor to share with you. Make sure to enable notifications for stories and posts to stay in the loop, you don’t want to miss this… May the Force be with you all.”

Speculation has Williams returning in some form to the Lando series, but this tweet implies that perhaps he has a larger role than originally anticipated. Glover recently told Dealine, “I would love to play Lando again. It’s a fun time to be him. It just has to be the right, it just needs to be the right way to do it.”
Lucasfilm is gearing up for Ahsoka on August 23, exclusively on Disney+. While there are other Star Wars projects in the pipeline, Disney CEO Bob Iger stated that Lucasfilm and Disney will be creating less Star Wars and Marvel content moving forward.
