The latest addition to the Star Wars galaxy of films may have underwhelmed at the box office, but it did shine a light on a couple new spots of the canon, and established a deeper thread to the Empire with the introduction of Crimson Dawn. It also reunited the two biggest troublemakers the Rebels in the Galaxy.
In a coming-of-age origin story that jumps off a cliff into the emotional baggage of Han Solo, the standout story thread was the genesis of his friendship with Lando Calrissian.
The two are introduced when Solo and one of his first crews has to put together a heist. Business tints their friendship from the moment Han spots that Lando’s a card cheat. With the solid performances from Alden Ehrenreich and Donald Glover, who play Han and Lando respectively, the pair’s friendship is never in doubt. In this case, it feels fated rather than forced, so when they’re taking their place in the Millennium Falcon, alongside Chewie, all the pieces are just falling into place.
Whether they’re the galaxy’s best Odd Couple or just a more conniving Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn, a reunion between these two actors is the best reason for a Solo sequel. If the studio has any chance of throwing good money after bad and running a referendum experiment on their spin-offs, a follow up movie could chase the two to Tatooine, and trace the ways the Empire divides the fan-favorite friendship.
