After weeks of rumor and hedging , it ’s prescribed : Donald Glover will be playing the young Lando Calrissian in the standalone Han Solo Star Wars movie .

According toStar Wars.com , the movie will show Lando ’s “ shaping class as a scoundrel on the cost increase in the galaxy ’s Hell . ” aboveboard , all I require is Glover losing the Millennium Falcon to Alden Ehrenreich in a cutthroat game of sabacc .

The statement from directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller is both very gracious and very self - aware :

We ’re so prosperous to have an creative person as talented as Donald bring together us . These are big brake shoe to fill , and an even bigger cape , and this one fits him utterly , which will save us money on alterations . Also , we ’d like to publicly apologize to Donald for ruin Comic - Con for him incessantly .

If you somehow do n’t live who Donald Glover is , he played Troy in Community , was nominated for a Grammy for his album as Childish Gambino , and is kill it as the creator and star of FX ’s   Atlanta .
