This Lando miniseries is a lighthearted, flashy, and fun romp but sadly, not a very memorable one. The plot? Lando teams up with oppressed slaves in an Imperial droid junkyard in order to win some credits to get some his enemies off his back. Barnes writes a pretty spot-on impression of Donald Glover’s Lando (which I enjoyed), and some of the action bits are inventive – but overall, this is a forgettable tie-in series. ( )

Charles Soule's Lando book was a fantastic take on the character. He distinguished Lando as a master hustler because he's a bad guy who thinks he's good (as opposed to Han Solo who's a good guy who thinks he's bad).
This book is not that. Lando is a punchline, even to himself. A major disappointment given the great roadmap Soule provided for quite possibly the most interesting of the original trilogy characters.
L3's inclusion is nice, but you really wonder how much better this could have been with a more thoughtful approach to Lando's moral ambiguity. ( )

Spring 2020 (March Live Read):

And now with correct time period read.

--

And now we switch which actor the art looks like. || Hello. We are back to clearer, smarter, sharper pretty arts. || Canto Bight shout out. || You're so pretty, Falcon. Yes, you are. || Resistance bot!!! || I'm here for Lando posturing any time he opens his mouth and Elthree LOUD SIGHING about each one.

If anyone played Lando, this is a goldmine for gorgeous art and posturing.

Kristiss is a woman from a planet, Kulgroon, taken over by the Empire. Her people turned into slave labor to work on droids all day. She is hunting down Lando Calrissian to bring guns onto the planet and to her people in order to enact a revolution and get her people off the planet and somewhere safe. Lando isn't really interested at first until she promises to pay off an old "acquaintance" who is now hunting him down thanks to her.

Elthree, Lando, and Kristiss split up once they reach the planet. Elthree, being a droid goes inside the building and blends in with the other droids and looks for ways to help from the inside. Kristiss gets caught by the Empire and Lando could leave without selling her the weapons but its easier to sell her the weapons than to find another buyer so he stays to rescue her. Lando gets caught up in some trouble of his own in the Wastelands of Kulgroon by a race of people who live there.

This is a great comic and the witty banter between Elthree and Lando really make it so. The two of them going back and forth are so funny they make the book so worth reading. Lando, of course, is worth reading about on his own. The art is excellent and the storyline is amazing. This is a wonderful book and I give it five out of five stars. ( )
