'Star Wars' actor Billy Dee Williams shares new behind-the-scenes photos with cast of 'The Rise of Skywalker'
'The Rise of Skywalker' may have met with mixed reviews, but one thing everyone can agree on is how much of a joy it was to see Billy Dee Williams reprise his role as Lando Calrissian on the movie.
Billy Dee Williams seems to have enjoyed his time on set just as much as fans enjoyed seeing him back to the role. The 'Star Wars' star recently shared a group of pictures with himself and the cast on his Twitter page.
Posting pictures of himself with Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, and Oscar Isaac, as well as other behind-the-scenes pictures, the actor celebrates his time on the film.
He posted the pictures with the line "I never had a bad feeling about this," referring to the running 'Star Wars' gag of characters foreshadowing doom with the line, "I have a bad feeling about this."
The line was last uttered by Billy Dee Williams himself in the film, as a celebration is interrupted by Stormtroopers seeking Rey (Daisy Ridley) out.
It was always the plan for Williams to return as Lando Calrissian in the 'Star Wars' sequel trilogy. Rian Johnson was, unfortunately, unable to find a way to do so in 'The Last Jedi'.
However, JJ Abrams managed to bring the actor in for 'The Rise of Skywalker,' giving Lando a pretty pivotal role in the battle against Emperor Palpatine's (Ian McDiarmid) Final Order.
Lando Calrissian even gets to pilot the Millenium Falcon again, something the character must have been waiting for for a long while, given that the ship initially belonged to him before Han Solo (Harrison Ford) won it from him in a game of cards.
Lando's appearance in 'The Rise of Skywalker' sees him complete with his iconic original costume, proving that while much changes in the galaxy over the years, fashion choices tend to remain the same.
'The Rise of Skywalker' is playing in cinemas now.
