Killing Lando likely would have caused a bigger uproar than Chewie.
Yeah, that's my point. Chewie was the safest bet, which I always thought made his death pointless and silly because they killed him ostensibly to show that "nobody was safe" when, if they really wanted to show that, they'd have picked one of the big three and eaten the backlash it caused.
I think we all still knew that everyone else was safe, even after Chewie died, which just made the whole thing an exercise in futility.
From my point of view.
