For a second I thought hey cool, OG Lando can be part of the narrative. Like a bookend or something. Then I immediately thought about crappy CGI de-age-ing and weird stuff. Which unfortunately is more likely these days.
I wouldn’t like to see them de-age Billy Dee, they’d just mess it up, or eat up whatever budget they had for this show?
But I would like to see something like this:
As others have said in the old Lando movie thread it’d be great to have Billy Dee narrating the “Calrissian Chronicles” style adventures… while we see the action with Donald Glover.
Each week Billy Dee does a brief onscreen introduction for “let me tell you kids about the time we…” and cut to flashback or a pan away to Danny Glover in action. Will Billy Dee providing some further off-screen some narration or voiceover when needed for each episode.
Too sweet, maybe? I guess it depends on what sort of stories the Glover brothers are going to come up with, and the style of the show?
