He became a gambler, conartist, mining engineer, and businessman

He is portrayed by Billy Dee Williams in the original trilogy and the forthcoming The Rise of Skywalker (2019).

Donald Glover portrayed a younger Lando in the standalone Solo: A Star Wars Story.

Appearances

Star Wars Rebels

Billy Dee Williams came back to voice Lando and appears in a couple of episodes.

He appears in Idiot's Array, where he wins Chopper in a game of sabacc, to force the crew to assist him in a dangerous smuggling run and promises to give them their droid back. He also assists the Ghost crew in escaping Lothal, which is under Imperial occupation. Ezra Bridger later uses Lando's name as an alias towards some of the people he encountered.

Trivia

• Williams' break between the original trilogy and his re-appearance in The Rise of Skywalker marks marking one of the longest intervals between portrayals of a character by the same actor in American film history.
