Reihan Calrissian
One day, when Matt Frost isn’t too busy, I’m hoping he will make another brilliant stop-motion Lego movie featuring Lego Lando Calrissian singing the D’Angelo classic “Brown Sugar.” I’d be more than happy to provide the falsetto crooning.
P.S. It occurs to me that Paul Waldman might consider this post yet another example of unacceptable race-baiting. By raising the specter of a Lego Lando Calrissian, I apparently mean to induce panic in racist middle Americans about the prospect of this “old smoothie” snatching away their daughters, etc. Also, I understand that calling for “tax cuts” is code for “wantonly murdering Bengalis.” I apologize for any offense I’ve inadvertently caused. This is part of a strategy so diabolically subliminal that I only picked up on it minutes after composing this post.
I have two brothers, and back in the day the popsicles we would get had three colors, green, red and orange. So of course if you got the green you were Luke, and if you got the red you were Vader. But (pre-1999) there were no orange light sabers in the movies, so we decided that the orange was Lando’s lightsaber. Don’t ask me why, I was 5 when we decided, I think.

Lando’s not a system, he’s a symbol of racial strife.

You can’t “race-bait” with a guy if he’s the only black man in the galaxy, which anyway Lando would appear to be. You can only “Lando-bait.”

Black? Just look at his name. He’s obviously Armenian…
