A point that a couple of people seemed to get. But, ultimately, it's not a bigge because, as I said, I'm far more of a Trekkie than I am a SW fan and Ronald Mc'Lando is fine if that's what people want.

Right. Billy Dee Williams is smooth as silk and made Colt 45 seem like Dom Perignon. He could roll up on a women, speak three words and they melt. Glover's Lando is a fop with a very weird cape fetish. And he totally lacks the smooth and quiet pimpitude of Williams' 'Do. Williams wore a cape. The cape didn't wear him. In addition Williams' cape wasn't as loud as a Death Star detonation. It was like everything else about Lando. Smooth and understated. But, still a fucking cape. Having to explain the difference to anyone is patently ridiculous.

Their tears have the stingingly sweet taste of Colt 45. The champaign of malt liquors. God bless Billy Dee.
