“	Smuggler? Such a small world. I'm more of a... galactic entrepreneur.	„
	~ Lando Calrissian

Baron Landonis Balthazar "Lando" Calrissian III is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. In The Empire Strikes Back (1980), Lando is introduced as an old friend of Han Solo. Prior to the events of the film, Lando made a career as a gambler, con artist, playboy, mining engineer, businessman, and was the owner of the Millennium Falcon until losing the ship to Han in a bet. He has become the administrator of Cloud City on the gas planet Bespin, and in the film, reluctantly betrays Han to Darth Vader. In Return of the Jedi (1983), he helps rescue Han from Jabba the Hutt and becomes a general in the Rebel Alliance and leads the attack on the second Death Star. He is portrayed by Billy Dee Williams in the original trilogy, as well as The Rise of Skywalker (2019), marking one of the longest intervals between portrayals of a character by the same actor in American film history.

Donald Glover portrayed a younger version of the character in the standalone Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018). Lando also appears frequently in the Star Wars Expanded Universe of novels, comic books and video games, including a series of Legends novels in which he is the protagonist.
