Lando Calrissian with a twist:
Lol.
Dre post with a (giant) stretch.
This is not Lando by any means. At least Han knew who Lando was, and Lando was to some degree trying to play it straight.
This guy, by contrast, is a nobody. No one knows who he is or what his deal is beyond a possible use which they might have for keeping him around.
We have another shady supporting character character betraying the heroes at the end of the middle chapter of the trilogy. He’s Lando with a twist. The twist being, he doesn’t come back to help them.
But Lando isn’t shady by any means when we meet him in Empire. He’s an upstanding citizen and a successful businessman. The only similarity between Lando and Benny del Toro (literally don’t know the character’s name) is that they both betray our protagonists.
HAN
Yeah, a Tibanna gas mine. Lando conned somebody out of it. We go back a long way, Lando and me.
LEIA
Can you trust him?
HAN
No. But he has no love for the Empire, I can tell you that.
Con man + untrustworthy = shady character
