Return of the Jedi- …sidestepping… Han Solo and Lando’s redemption arc
Why would Lando, the guy who saved an entire city and his friends (woulda’ saved Han on the spot if not for a certain wookie and lady) need a “redemption arc”?
It’s a personal peeve that this is so misread by audiences.I guess I am misreading it then; I suppose even as a kid, it always played to me like he sold them out to Vader. I do see your point though.
Vader keeps changing the deal, remember. Lando sold Luke out. No doubt. But it was to save a city, his friend and his friends friends. He did the right thing.
Then, even after Vader changes all the details, Lando saves everybody’s ass. A true hero!
