The roguish smuggler returns in Star Wars Rebels season 1, episode 9, which airs tonight on Disney XD.
The episode, titled “Idiot’s Array,” will take the crew of the Ghost on a galactic goose chase as their path tangles with Lando Calrissian. Actor Billy Dee Williams reprises his role as Lando, lending his voice to the animated series.
The latest episode of Star Wars Rebels focused on Ezra’s journey toward becoming a Jedi. After Force-sensing a Jedi temple on Lothal, Ezra took a Luke-like vision quest in which he confronted his fears of abandonment and lack of purpose. Both Ezra and Kanan received council from the spirit of Yoda, and Ezra’s clarity was rewarded with a kyber crystal – which he used to build his own lightsaber.
Judging by a recent behind-the-scenes video from Disney, Star Wars Rebels season 1, episode 9 will take a lighter tone as Lando Calrissian crosses paths with the group.
According to executive producer Dave Filoni, Lando will still be in his formative stage when met by the crew in “Idiot’s Array.”
“He’s on his way up, he hasn’t achieved it [all] yet,” Filoni comments. “Which is really exciting because he’s still working on all of his moves and all of his strategies.”
“He’s no joke, he knows what he’s doing,” he adds. “Everything Lando does, it’s got a purpose and intention.”
