It would have been much easier to just admit the mistake in my opinion.
Lando's cape fetish and "product" addiction is great fun, though. I've not seen the film, but I could practically see Donald Glover performing the part in my head. 
I liked some things; and didn't really dislike anything. So that's on the positive side of "meh" for an overall rating (based on my personal and highly subjective scale).
Now starting Eric Idle's sortabiographical Always Look on the Bright Side of Life. |
I like Mur... but I was never really interested in Han Solo (nor Lando for that matter) and only watched the movie for Dngrswife's sake.
I
was eyeballing that Idle book, though. Do tell us how it reads.
