Billy Dee Williams To Play Lando In Next Episode Of Star Wars Rebels

Posted by Eric on January 12, 2015 at 02:10 PM CST


We've known that Billy Dee Williams was set to reprise his role as Lando Calrissian on Star Wars Rebels since June 2014, when he confirmed it to me on Twitter. Today, Entertainment Weekly makes it official, providing Lucasfilm's confirmation that Williams will play Lando in "Idiot's Array," the next episode of Star Wars Rebels, which airs on Disney XD on January 19 but is available today on the Watch Disney XD website and app.

Dave Filoni says of Lando at the time of Rebels, "He's still working on all of his moves, all of his strategies."

"It's the smile, the charm," Williams says, smiling. "I have a good time with it."

Check out a video featuring comments on Lando from Filoni, Williams, and a host of Lucasfilm creative executives in EW's story.

"Idiot's Array," featuring everyone's favorite smuggler, gambler, and card-player, airs at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on Disney XD.
