I see this kind of statement frequently. How is this (lack of) demand gauged? Is there a website that tracks what fans want to see? I ask this in all honesty.

I know that there was a poll that ran for a few years that resulted in Zach Synder's Justice League (a substantial improvement over the steaming pile that came out theatrically). Is there something like that out there that Star Wars film/series creators are ignoring?

He was the highlight of Solo. And nailed the voice and the "not quite brave" ness of Lando. The not-quite-loving it side of me feels this is Disney/Lucasfilm trying to tap into the Black Panther audience that made $1.153 billion domestic over 2 films and having it written by 2 black guys and starring 1 of them will give them the opportunity for a largely black cast as well. Lando is exceptionally popular, and Glover seems to be as well, but you're going to need a lot bigger hook than "Hey, it's Lando!" to get it anywhere past Solo level at the box.

If they're burying the lead and it's actually Solo 2 with the two of them as co-leads plus some Jabba the Hutt / Boba Fett / bounty hunters' guild plot, that's when I would be excited.

Personally I'd rather watch a movie about Lando Griffin.

Well, whenever he actually used it. There were only a few times that he actually sounded like Billy Dee, otherwise it was his own voice.

Reminded me of Margot Robbie slipping in and out of voice while playing Harley Quinn.

Same thing for Andor, but that's still some of the best TV ever made.

Give it a few more episodes. I wasn't hooked immediately but the overall arc of the show was great and I'm glad I stuck with it. It was probably the best SW since Rogue One.

Holy crap my 12 year old guys….we're in a Texas children's urgent care room and the little Disney kids Star Wars cartoon is on…..I think it's called young Jedi adventures

Me: (remembering that chart showing all Star Wars properties) "Man it pains me that this show is canon."

Son: "It is?"

Me: "I think so."

……pause…….

Son: "Well…at least Anikan killed them all."

Me:

Better keep both eyes on that one. Definitely don't teach him everything you know or he'll try to overthrow you.

No kidding….the BEST dialogue of any Star Wars property ever written!!!! The first 3 episodes set the stage and it takes off from there.

This is Star Wars for adults and it takes itself very seriously in all the best ways. Hands down I wish I could watch this show all over again as if it was the first time watching it.

The 3rd episode really starts to set the tone for what you're in for….when the show came out they knew that and released the first 3 episodes at once.

Go for it dude!

Andor elevated Star Wars so much. It's an impeccable show.

Lol, Jason Mamoa is better looking than Andor. Sounds like you need to rethink your Halloween costume.

Yeah it's better when you don't have to wait a week between episodes

You clearly weren't on this board when the show was being released. Week to week is the way to go. Good tv deserves water cooler discussions.

Water cooler talk isn't accurate. You see, people drink water from bottles now.

It should be coffee machine discussions. Not water cooler.

can't really send Luke to go train with Quo Gone. Besides, was he really a master? I think he's the only Jedi\Sith to die from a single lightsaber skewer. Everyone else has survived such a wound.
