!!Lando Calrissian
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lando_2.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''"Everything you've heard about me is true."'']]

-->''"I once won a sub-tropical moon in the Oseon Belt. Turned out to be a real money pit."''

Once a famed smuggler and outlaw, Lando Calrissian has since moved on to the life of a card shark and sportsman, travelling the galaxy aboard his luxurious starship, the ''Millennium Falcon''. Nonetheless, he's drawn back into the criminal underworld for one last job by Qi'ra, Tobias Beckett and Han Solo, who request his aid in stealing a large shipment of raw hyperfuel from the mines of Kessel.
----
* AgentPeacock: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. He's [[TheDandy always dressed in stylish and colourful outfits and rather flamboyant]], and he can kick ass too, though he'd rather stay out of the fighting if he can. Not only that, but he completely ''[[SkewedPriorities freaks out]]'' when Qi'ra tries to use one of his capes to put out a fire. However, he ''really'' starts fighting back on Kessel when Pyke syndicate mooks damage the ''Falcon'' and he runs straight into the thick of combat to rescue [[spoiler: L3 when she's shot]].
* AnythingThatMoves: According to WordOfGay, his taste includes men, women, aliens, and L3, a ''[[{{Robosexual}} robot]]''.
* AwesomeMcCoolName: A deleted scene that was confirmed to still be canon reveals that his full name is "Landonis Balthazar Calrissian III."
* BadassBeard: He sports a neatly-trimmed moustache and goatee. Switches to just a BadassMoustache as he gets older.
* BadassBoast: Upon meeting Han for the first time:
-->'''Han Solo:''' I heard a story about you; I was wondering if it's true.\\
'''Lando Calrissian:''' ''Everything'' you have heard about me is true.
* BadassCape: He has a wardrobe on the ''Falcon'' that is filled entirely with capes.
* BadassLongcoat: He wears a large fur mantle at times.
* ButtMonkey: Joining the heist on Kessel brings him ''much'' trouble. It includes having his ship turned into a "pile of junk" in the Kessel Run, watching Qi'ra trying to smother a fire with one of his pricey and fashionable capes, [[spoiler:losing L3-37]], and not getting any money from the job, ultimately. And, last but not least, he gets his comeuppance for all his cheating, [[spoiler:losing his ship in a Sabacc game against Han.]]
* CheatersNeverProsper: Cheating at Sabacc paid off for quite some time for him... until he met Han Solo. [[spoiler:In the last scene of ''Solo'', Han steals the card he kept up his sleeve, and wins the ''Millennium Falcon'' fair and square in their second Sabacc duel.]]
* CoolStarship: During the events of ''Solo'', he still owns the ''Millenium Falcon'' and has made various modifications to it to make it even cooler. He is ''not'' pleased when [[spoiler: the ship gets trashed during the Kessel run]] and he loses it to Han by the end.
* CurseCutShort: After the ''Falcon''[='=]s engines suddenly fail while next to the Maw but before they kick back in.
--> '''Lando:''' [[OhCrap Ohhh, sh]]--
* TheDandy: He always strives to look fashionable, and has an enormous amount of capes in his closet. When Qi'ra uses one to put out a fire, he immediately starts protesting that it's ''"custom ordered!"''
* {{Diary}}: He has a holographic diary in which he ([[UnreliableNarrator exaggeratedly]]) recounts his adventures. He calls it "The Calrissian Chronicles".
* EveryoneHasStandards: A cheater he may be, but Lando mutters that [[SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil mining operations are the worst]] when they arrive at Kessel.
* FixingTheGame: He cheats at Sabacc.
* TheGambler: He is an avid Sabacc player. It's a {{card game|s}} that's quite popular throughout the galaxy. Although he's quite the cheater.
* GoodLuckGesture: Lando and L3 exchange one before jumping to hyperspace for Kessel. It comes off as a pre-flight ritual that the duo has done many times.
* GunsAkimbo: Briefly (but effectively) wields two blasters during the escape from Kessel.
* HeroicBSOD: He goes into a brief one after [[spoiler: L3-37]] dies and he is [[spoiler: shot in the arm trying to save her]]. He's left [[DiedInYourArmsTonight holding her]], sobbing and telling her it'll be okay. However, he actually allows Han to pilot the ''Millennium Falcon'' because he knows he's in no state to do it himself, and doesn't let himself be overwhelmed by grief during the Kessel Run.
* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: He and L3 bicker and banter constantly, in a good-humored way that reinforces their clearly close-knit bonds.
* LovableRogue: Yeah, he'll lie and cheat, but he’s just so damn charming!
* MaliciousMisnaming: In the form of an InJoke. Billy Dee Williams tended to mispronounce Han's name with a hard-A in the original trilogy. ''Solo'' implies that this is actually something of a nickname: originally, Lando starts doing it to condescend to Han when, while trying to hustle him, Solo intentionally mispronounces "sabacc" the same way. When he sees how much it bugs Han, it sticks.
* MommasBoy: Type 1. He tells Han that although he wasn't very close to his father growing up, his mother was "the most amazing woman" he'd ever known.
* PimpedOutCape: A few of his capes are rather fancy looking (including one that was "custom ordered") and he's got enough of them to almost rival Padmé Amidala's [[UnlimitedWardrobe wardrobe]].
* PunctuatedForEmphasis: He pauses between words when saying "Everything you heard about me is true."
* {{Robosexual}}: If there's any truth in what L3-37 says about Lando, that is...
* RobosexualsAreCreeps: Qi'ra is noticeably unnerved by Lando and L3-37's relationship, particularly when L3-37 says their relationship "works."
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Well, when somebody [[spoiler: trashes your most prized possession, Lando's of course being the ''Millennium Falcon'']], you'd be a little eager to leave, too.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Let's just say that his relationship with Han Solo was... a little rocky in the beginning.
-->'''Lando:''' ''(seeing the damage Han has done to his beloved [[spoiler:Falcon]])'' I hate you.\\
'''Han:''' I know.
* TimeShiftedActor: Creator/BillyDeeWilliams being evidently too old to play a younger version of Lando, the character is played by [[Music/ChildishGambino Donald Glover]]. Interestingly, Creator/AldenEhrenreich's and Donald Glover's respective ages are consistent with the respective ages of Creator/HarrisonFord and Billy Dee Williams.

[[folder:Tropes from the Original Trilogy Era]]
!!General Lando Calrissian
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/landocalrissiansw_5540.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''"Yeah, I'm responsible these days. It's the price you pay for being successful."'']]

-->''"This deal is getting worse all the time..."''

Years after his adventures with Han Solo, Lando became Baron-Administrator of Cloud City on Bespin, doing his best to govern the tibanna gas mining colony and keep it out of the Galactic Civil War. He reluctantly betrayed Han to protect the city from the Empire, but redeemed himself by joining the rebellion and helping rescue his old friend, eventually rising to the rank of General in the Rebel Alliance.
----
* AcePilot: His skills at flying rival Han's, as seen during the Battle of Endor, particularly the flight through the Death Star which even smaller starfighters had trouble doing.
* AntiVillain: The only reason he cooperates with Darth Vader in ''The Empire Strikes Back'' is to ensure the safety of the people of Cloud City. He eventually gets out of this and becomes a hero once he figures out that Darth Vader is [[ILied lousy]] at keeping his end of the bargain.
* TheAtoner: He joins the Rebellion due to his guilt over selling out Han.
* BadassCape: His Cloud City outfit and his Rebel uniform.
* BadassMustache: He sports a suave PornStache. As for the badass part, no one gets to be a general in the Rebel Alliance without doing something to earn it.
* BenevolentBoss: As the Baron-Administrator of Cloud City, Lando's number one priority is the workers and citizens who live there. When funds are running short, he uses his own personal stash of credits that he was holding back just in case he needed an escape plan from the job to pay the miner's wages.
* ChivalrousPervert: He flirts with every lady he meets (including '' Sabine''), but is also polite. Not that they seem into him.
* DeadpanSnarker: He is especially good with mixing this with CondescendingCompassion, much to Ezra's chagrin.
* DealWithTheDevil: He gets forced into one with Vader to keep the people of Cloud City safe.
* DefaultToGood: Lando ran Cloud City, which didn't fall into Imperial jurisdiction at first. Only after making the deal and seeing how horrible the Empire was did Lando join the Rebel Alliance.
* DoesntLikeGuns: {{Subverted|Trope}}. He rarely carries a gun and tells people who ask about it that he thinks blasters are "for people with no imagination" -- but it's all a bluff. He'll happily shoot people if the situation calls for it; he just likes having people ''think'' he won't so that they underestimate him.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes:
** As far as his appearance in ''Rebels'' goes. He ends up pissing off nearly the entire ''Ghost'' crew in one way or another and manages to con his way out of paying them aside from a fuel canister he let Chopper steal. The only reason they didn't trade him off to Azmorigan is because Hera wouldn't allow it. He did at least return Chopper, though, and wrote off the fuel drum they stole from him as "payment" for their services.
** He's this with the rebels [[TheStoolPigeon for obvious reasons]] in ''The Empire Strikes Back''. Chewbacca is ready to crush Lando's windpipe (with Leia coldly supporting it) until he points out he can save Han. After he makes good of his word in ''Return of the Jedi'' however, he seems to be on better grounds.
* FrontlineGeneral: He makes general in ''Return of the Jedi'' and leads Gold Flight during the attack on the Death Star II. Applies to on-foot combat too, as evidenced by the one-man spree of destruction he wreaks on the Imperial weapons factory on Sullust in ''Battlefront 2''.
* GoodLuckGesture: Lando gives one to Han after his friend lends him the Falcon for the assault on Death Star II in ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''. This scene has added poignancy after seeing that Lando and L3 often shared that salute as well in ''Film/{{Solo}}''.
* GroinAttack: He suffers a brutal one from Hera in [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS1E09IdiotsArray "Idiot's Array"]] after he neglected to mention that his plan involved him faking selling her into slavery. He speaks with an InstantSoprano for a few lines afterward.
* GuileHero: While he is more than capable of shooting his way out of a situation, Lando would rather charm his way out or stall a dangerous situation until he can find an angle to exploit and even the odds. He later admits that he has absolutely no issue with solving a problem with his blaster, he simply likes to claim that he isn't very good with one to cause his opponents to underestimate him.
-->'''Lando:''' I fight my '''''own''''' way. With this. ''[points to his head]'' Blasters are for suckers. People with '''''no imagination'''''.
* IntrepidMerchant: He is willing to run an Imperial Naval blockade to set up a mining operation after all.
* ILetYouWin: He ''knew'' that Chopper stole some fuel and supplies from him in the scuffle on Lothal. He was perfectly okay with it because he considered it his way of paying the crew for their service (instead of actually paying them).
* LoveableRogue: Particularly in his ''Rebels'' appearance: he may be a conman and smuggler, but he's got style.
%%* LovableSexManiac
* TheMole: In ''Return of the Jedi'', he disguises himself as one of Jabba's guards, and ends up being crucial in the skirmish over the Great Pit of Carkoon.
* NoodleIncident:
** Whatever happened between him and Han Solo. As Han puts it:
--->'''Han:''' Well, that was a long time ago; I'm sure he's forgotten about that. I hope.
** What got him promoted to General by the time of ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: During one of his heists, he claims that he doesn't know how to use a blaster. He's lying.
* OhCrap: He gets a fantastic look of horror on his face when he realizes that not only are the second Death Star's shields still up, there is an Imperial fleet nearby as well. Later has another moment when the Death Star opens fire and destroys a Rebel ship.
-->"How can they be jamming us if they don't know... ''(pause as the full weight of the realization hits him)'' ...that we're coming?"
** Not much longer after that...
-->"That blast came from the Death Star! [[ChewingTheScenery That thing's operational!!!]]
* OlderAndWiser: Technically inverted since ''Solo'' was released after the original trilogy, but Lando in ''The Empire Strikes Back'' is a far better man than he was in ''Solo'' or ''Rebels''.
* ProfessionalGambler: When Han describes him to Leia, he specifically mentions that Lando is a card player and gambler. We see him win a game of sabacc against an otherwise-unbeatable hand in ''Rebels'' and the only reason Han beats him when they play for the Falcon in ''Solo'' is because they forced Lando to play fair.
* {{Prospector}}: In ''Rebels'', Lando's trying his hand at some wildcat mining on Lothal; something the Empire doesn't approve of.
* ReformedCriminal: He went from being a smuggler like Han to the leading figure of a major city.
* RegretfulTraitor: When the Empire arrives in Cloud City, Lando is forced to betray Han, Leia, and Chewie by setting them up to be captured. But when is Han frozen in carbonite (and handed over to Boba Fett), that proves to be the tipping point. He later makes up for what he did by giving Leia and Chewie time to escape.
* SharpDressedMan: The sharpest in the galaxy. He dresses way more stylishly than anybody else in the Original Trilogy. This even carries over to his Rebel uniform, which has a cape.
* SixthRanger: He starts off as a SixthRangerTraitor, but becomes this later on.
%%* SoulBrotha
* SniperPistol: Quite literally, with his WeaponOfChoice being the scoped X-8 Night Sniper blaster pistol.
* TheStoolPigeon: He made a deal to keep the Empire out of Cloud City, and that led to Han's capture.
-->'''Lando:''' ''[getting strangled by Chewbacca]'' [[PunctuatedForEmphasis I... had... no... choice!]]\\
'''Leia:''' [[SarcasmMode Oh we understand him, don't we Chewie? "He had no choice!"]]
* SupportingLeader: He leads the assault on the Death Star in ''Return of the Jedi''.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To Han himself. Lando's appearance was calculated to replace Harrison Ford should he choose not to return. As it turned out, Lando still ended up piloting the ''Falcon'' into another Death Star.
* TokenMinority: Lando was the only major black character until the Prequel Trilogy was released.
* TookALevelInKindness: His appearance in ''Rebels'' depicts him during his smuggling days as a manipulative jerk, contrasting from the more heroic Lando in the original trilogy.
* YouSaidYouWouldLetThemGo: His protest when Vader orders Leia and Chewie detained in Cloud City. Vader's response: "I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further."

!!Baron Lando Calrissian
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/oldlando.jpg]]
%%[[caption-width-right:300:some caption text]]

Following the liberation of Bespin, Lando stepped down as Baron-Administrator and started Calrissian Enterprises, which specialized in the manufacturing of droids. He later aids the Resistance in their last stand against the First Order.
----
* AdultFear: The [[AllThereInTheManual supplementary material]] reveals that Lando has a daughter who was kidnapped by unknown culprits in 15 ABY when she was only 2 years old. In time, he learned that the First Order was behind the kidnapping.
* AmbiguouslyRelated: To Jannah. The ''[[AllThereInTheManual Visual Dictionary]]'' for ''The Rise of Skywalker'' mentions he had a daughter who was kidnapped by the First Order as a toddler, in 15 ABY. Jannah is an ex-stormtrooper who was taken by the First Order as a child; according to the ''Visual Dictionary'' she's in her early twenties in 35 ABY, so the timelines match up. At the end of the film, Jannah mentions she has no idea who she is and Lando smiles and says "Let's find out", though it's never made explicit that she might be his daughter.
* BackForTheFinale: Moviewise, he reappeared in ''The Rise of Skywalker'', the GrandFinale of the Skywalker Saga, after being absent from the first two Sequel Trilogy films.
* BadassCape: He wears a nice black one with a blue underlining and a high collar.
* BadassMoustache: He's still got it, years later.
* BigDamnHeroes: In the closing moments of ''Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker'', just when everything seems bleakest and even Poe Dameron has given up all hope, Lando and Chewie show up in the Millenium Falcon, leading a whole goddamn '''armada''' of ships to thwart the Final Order and save the galaxy's bacon.
* BlackGuyDiesFirst: Subverted. In the new Sequel Trilogy, it is the Black Lando who outlives Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and Leia Organa-Solo, making him the last survivor of the humanoid protagonists of the Original Trilogy.
* TheBusCameBack: He didn't show up (and wasn't even mentioned) in either ''Film/TheForceAwakens'' or ''Film/TheLastJedi'', but eventually returned for ''Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker''.
* CallBack: His outfit is reminiscent of the one he wore decades back in ''Film/{{Solo}}''.
* ClassyCane: In his old age, Lando has taken to carrying a gilded cane [[https://www.instagram.com/p/B5qO-m0gasz/ with his full name and title engraved on the pommel]]. The cane even resembles [[CallBack Cloud City]].
* CoolOldGuy: He may be older now, but he's lost none of his previous charm and piloting skills, and is still a great shot.
* HonoraryUncle: He was this to Ben Solo. It's revealed in ''Last Shot'' that little Ben even used to call him '[[BabyTalk Unca Wanwo]]'. Lando, for his part, was clearly very fond of Ben as well, nicknaming him "[[AffectionateNickname little starfighter]]".
* InterspeciesRomance: He had one with Kaasha Bateen, a Twi'lek.
* LadykillerInLove: During his smuggling days he met the Twi'lek strategist Kaasha Bateen while supplying a rebel group. They had a brief fling, and Lando could never get her out of his head. When they met again a few years after the Battle of Endor, they start a relationship.
* OutOfFocus: Lando has the least focus and screentime of the original cast, not even being mentioned by name (let alone appearing) until ''Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker'', but even then, he has far less to contribute than Han, Luke, Leia or Chewbacca.
* RefusalOfTheCall: Lando initially declines Poe's offer to join the Resistance, stating that his flying days are over. After receiving news of Leia's death however, he changes his mind.
* SupportingLeader: He gathers and leads the [[TheCavalry improvised starfleet]] against Palpatine's Final Order destroyers.

* ProfessionalGambler: When Han describes him to Leia, he specifically mentions that Lando is a card player and gambler. We see him win a game of sabacc against an otherwise-unbeatable hand in ''Rebels'' and the only reason Han beats him when they play for the Falcon in ''Solo'' is because he had a last-minute moment of GenreSavvy and forced Lando to play fair.
