Donald Glover Wants to Make ‘Star Wars’ Fun Again
As Donald Glover prepares to return to a galaxy far, far away, he has one mission on his mind— to make Star Wars fun again.
Glover, of course, is set to reprise his role as a young Lando Calrissian from Solo: A Star Wars Story in his own feature film.
In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal (via Screen Crush), Glover previewed the upcoming film and revealed that he wants Lando’s solo adventure to be fun above all else.

“I just want it to be fun, like, as a Star Wars fan myself, I think it’s important that there just needs to be more fun being had,” he said.
“It’s very hard to have fun right now. It’s tough because there are very serious things happening, and those are the only things that connect us, weirdly, so I get why things are serious, but, part of the human experience, I believe, is we have a responsibility to have enjoyment. And I just feel like we’re lacking in that department.”
Make ‘Star Wars’ Fun Again!
As Star Wars begins to branch out from the Skywalker saga, Glover believes that the franchise has an opportunity to lighten the mood and have some fun.

“Star Wars, I love it, but sometimes it be super serious. Sometimes it be, like, way too serious. It’s like everything that has to do with the Skywalkers, is like so serious. Lando, I think the best part about him is he’s a scoundrel. You know, and I feel like people can relate to that. And he’s probably like, ‘Man, this war is wack. I need money.’ Which I feel everyone can relate to. So, I want to just bring fun to ‘Star Wars.’ I just want it to be fun.”
