"We think that the next spin-off will be dedicated to Lando Calrissian. Of course, there are still many stories to tell about Han and Chewbacca, but Lando will be next."
It seems she's saying the next spin-off to the Solo movie (presumably will be a trilogy) is Lando, not necessarily the next film.

I feel like Lando is so well received because of how smooth Billy Dee is. Same with Han of course, but at least Han was a main character that you could see a reboot to.
Lando was important of course but not on Han's level in the originals and hasn't been in the ST yet. They should at least build up some more hype with him by throwing Billy Dee in the end of the trilogy. Not sure if his appearance in Solo is enough to generate the hype with a movie named after him. Who knows though?

Honestly they should've incorporated both of them into the same movie (like two different stories in the same time period) or have chosen one or the other. I like Lando more than Han, but probably not enough for me to dish out theatre money to see it.
Surely you should be glad that Disney will be eroding away at two very masculine-like characters by incorporating strong female figures to counter them in these spin-offs
If they're doing a Lando movie they might as well do Jabba the Hutt
I'd love to see a Jedi Dooku movie, but I don't think Disney wants to promote strong, independent-minded, non-status quo following, characters.

What about a spin-off set in alternate timeline called Lord Kashyyyk: Fellowship of the Key?
Starring Vigo Mortensen as Ki-Adi-Mundi

He's not officially getting a spinoff. Its only an idea being thrown around. I for one, love Lando but I don't think he should get a movie before Obi-Wan. I am so down for an Obi-Wan Kenobi movie!!!!
Part of it I imagine is that homeboy's role as Lando in Solo is widely being reported as the best part of the film.
As well, Lando's position as a B-level character in the setting works for him more then against him in regards to potential for side stories. The fandom is going to always hold main characters under far more scrutiny then side-characters, which allows a greater degree of freedom for writers when working on those side characters.

Perfectly fine with Lando being pansexual, but if they're making his relationship with Han be f*cking more than what we saw in the originals, I will personally go and behead anybody who embraces this idea.
