What we are talking about Lando chemistry with HAN and LEIA, it all depends upon who you choose as HAN and LEA then you find your Lando to match their chemistry. For me Will Smith is talented as an actor who has that humour and that seriousness as long he doesn’t extend in that screen to go J (MIB) rather than Lando. For me toughest one is HAN. I love that Maggie and she would be perfect as Leia, but to find some one opposite Maggie who can it be? who could be that Han Solo? mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I think Terrence Howard could pull it off

Chiwetel is perfect. Nuff said.

Hodge is a little young, but considering how long it takes for a Star Wars movie to get made, I don’t think that’s an absolute disqualifier. Alright, I’ll write him in.

Oh, and Giancarlo Giannini from “Homicide” or Clarke Peters from “Treme”.

Mekhi Pfeiffer? Of course, there’s always Lawrence Fishburne.

Mos Def? Not with that voice
Tim Meadows? What? Run out of black actors you can name off the tops of your heads?
Omar Epps? Here’s Omar acting happy Here’s Omar acting mad Here’s Omar acting Sad (get the picture?)

Aldis Hodge IS Lando Calrissian!

Of these guys, I’m think the underrated Mos Def is the best option, although Ejiofor is awesome. Since we’re recasting, personally, I’d consider going with a different approach and going with Seth Green. However…

Adrian Lester IS Lando Calrissian. If you’ve seen the first few seasons of HUSTLE, you know what I mean. If you haven’t seen HUSTLE, shame on you!

Speaking of heist TV shows, Aldis Hodge from LEVERAGE would also be a good Lando. Heck, you could use pretty much the whole cast: Beth Riesgraf = Mara Jade, Tim Hutton = Thrawn, Christian Kane = Talon Karrde, Gina Bell = Mon Mothma.

Nah never Will Smith will be in any SW movies, he’ll ruin in it even faster then Jarjar Binks.
