Star Wars Lando - Double or Nothing

Rodney Barnes2019
Collects Star Wars: Lando — Double or Nothing #1-5. Straight from the frames of the highly anticipated film Solo: A Star Wars Story swaggers a younger — and somehow even cockier — Lando Calrissian! Before his days in the Rebellion, before he ran Cloud City, even before he lost the Millennium Falcon, comes this tale of Lando’s adventures and misadventures in search of love and money — leading right up to his appearance in Solo! Lando isn’t one to stick his neck out unless there are credits to be had. So when oppressed workers in a droid junkyard need his help, they’d better hope their freedom is worth something to him. But one of their number is out to turn Lando over to his enemies — and there are plenty of those. Will a galaxy of bad guys finally get their due against the ultimate thorn in their side?

I really enjoyed Solo: A Star Wars movie (yes, flaws and all), so I am trying to read some of the canonical media tie-ins. Now, I think everyone in Solo did a wonderful job portraying their characters but Donald Glover as our favorite smooth talking smuggler Lando Calrissian was certainly a high light. Like many folks, I left the movie theater wanting a full length Lando feature. While Disney has hinted that maybe they'll give the fans exactly this, in the mean time, we have Lando: Double or Nothing to enjoy. This is a fun, but short, story about Lando Calrissian. There isn't much to this story as this is the beginning of a story arc. The young, prideful Lando is recruited to help liberate an oppressed people (under the hand of the Emprie) on the planet Kullgroon by a woman named Kristiss. It's a light story with some really fun Millennium Falcon/TIE Fighter action, and some snarky dialogue between Lando and L3. I'll be interested in seeing what happens next and if Lando will bail on Kristiss if it looks like the Empire proves to be a threat to his gambling ways or things become more complicated than just a simple liberation/rescue mission.
