The Lando Movie

There were two basic ideas to this idea. And to be clear, it could either be a movie or a TV series. Either way it's awesome.

Option A- The time is after Return of the Jedi and follows Lando across the galaxy on his many adventures. Like James Bond, there's always a new female companion and Lando is getting into trouble with his smoothness. We can also watch him exorcise her personal demons that still remain from when he betrayed his friends.

Option B- The time is well before Star Wars and follows Lando on his early exploits as a scoundrel. Obvious opportunities here for a Han and Chewie cameo and the story of the Millenium Falcon. You could do an entire season on Lando losing the Falcon or on his adventures in acquiring the Tibanna Gas mines.

Lando is a likeable character that was never deeply explored in the Star Wars movies so there's lot of room for creating a fresh story that people will enjoy. And of course, you could always get Colt 45 to sponsor the show.
