The Orlandolorian from MCO
The Orlando International Airport – MCO – has blown up social media today with the debut of their hardest worker – The Orlandolorian.
This is a hilarious spoof of The Mandalorian to celebrate Star Wars Day.

First, we see the Orlandolorian on the MCO monorail going to the terminal, accompanied by Grogu (aka Baby Yoda).
Then we see him in various jobs around the airport.

At the end of the video, we see vignettes of the Orlandolorian in drawings from the various scenes of the video – just like we’d see at the end of The Mandalorian!
I want to give him a nickname – is it Lando? Orlando? Rando? Anyhoo, the Orlandolorian is extremely helpful at the airport.
Also, his socks and sandals really complete the look. Full #FloridaMando as @MCO says …
We see him helping to direct cars at the departures and arrivals areas.
He also gives directions to wayward travelers (with a two-fingered Disney point!). Because, you know it, this is the way.
Lando is a good sweeper, keeping the airport pristine. Walt would be proud of him!
I’m a little intimidated by Lando at Starbucks. I am NOT going to ask for extra sugar.
Apparently the Orlandolorian needs to work some side jobs because traveling with the foundling is expensive.
Star Wars fans unite
Even the Star Wars official Twitter account is enjoying the Orlandolorian!
This is the way… to Orlando! #MayThe4thBeWithYou #StarWarsDay

@StarWars tweeted in response to the original @MCO tweet with the video, saying “This is the way… to Orlando!”
The responses are also excellent. It looks like the @MCO social has been working overtime because they’ve been responding to just about every single comment on their posts.
Many of their responses are in the form of a Star Wars or Mandalorian gif.
I think the @MCO social team has really stepped up their game – and I’m going to be following them closely moving forward.
This is the way!
Happy Star Wars Day, everyone! Be sure to stay tuned to MickeyBlog.com today for lots of Star Wars Day coverage. May the fourth be with you!
