TheStar Warsfranchise is loved by generations of fansandthey have witnessed its story all the way back from 1977’sEpisode 4 – A New Hopeup to the latest TV series streaming on Disney+.With all these storylines and characters, it’s inevitable to havesomeplot holes or inconsistencies in the narrative.
With many writers and directors involved, there’s no doubt that loopholes can be found in every nook and cranny of the franchise. In fact, fans have tons of questions as to why and how certain stories in the movies contradict one another.
Star WarsPlot Hole: Han Solo Trusted Lando Calrissian
One of the most popularStar Warsplot holes involvesHarrison Ford’s Han Solo andBilly Dee Williams’ Lando Calrissian. In the 1980 installment ofThe Empire Strikes Back, Hangave his trust toLando and was confident enough to ask him for repairs. Looking at the bigger picture, this seemed like the worst idea ever.
In 2018’sSolo: A Star Wars Story,Alden Ehrenreich’s Han andDonald Glover’sLando only met in a brief span of time. Among the characters in the film, they have the most complicated relationship.
Lando’s betrayal is one of the most discussed parts of the movie. Originally, he sold Han and his friends out to Darth Vader and the Empire after setting up a trap for them.
He later takes the Millennium Falcon and forsakes the team, but not until Han is able to track him down and retrieve it through a game of sabacc. With this much struggle in their so-called friendship, it’s unreasonable for Han to think that they were even old friends.

Glover once spoke withDeadlineabout what makes Lando a very interesting character, even more complicated than Han, as the actor puts it.
Lando seems to be a lot of people’s favorite character… I feel like people like him ‘cause he has a lot of style, but also he’s a complicated character in this world. I think even Han isn’t as complicated as Lando is. From the first time you meet him, you don’t know whether to trust him or not.
Han and Lando’s scenes are definitely one of the highlights in bothThe Empire Strikes BackandSolo: A Star Wars Story, and it’s easy to see why!
Lando Calrissian Actor On Enduring Fans’ Rage
The betrayal of Han Solo is something fans will never forget and forgive. Billy Dee Williams knew the struggle of being the target of hate because his character deceived one of the most belovedStar Warsnames. He shared viaEntertainment Weekly’s Dagobah Dispatchpodcast:
When I would pick my daughter up from school, the kids would run up to me and say, ‘You betrayed Han Solo!’ I’d go on an airplane, and the airplane stewards would say, ‘You betrayed Han Solo!’ I got that for a lot of years.
The actor claimed he was fed up explaining his side of the story and that people were starting to invade his personal space.

While this sounds outrageously alarming, it only proved how exceptional he was in portraying an anti-hero likeLando Calrissian.
