Is Lando Calrisian a Shakespearian "Moor"?

[CanuckAmok]

I mean, is there any resaon a man with African heritage was cast as the double-crossing Superintendent of Cloud City?

Admittedly, he redeems hoimself eventually, but he really screws Han Solo in the process.

1. Lando was a victim of circumstance.

He had no choice but to set Han up. Remember when the cloud cars started shooting at the Flacon when it tried to enter Cloud City? He was attempting to deny them entrance, but the Imperials forced him to let them in.

Yes, I am a Star Wars geek.

2. If you're a Star Wars geek, then what make is the cruiser Home One?

It's the ship Ackbar's in at the Battle of Endor. :P

4. M-40 Mon Cal Cruiser, was it not? n/t

6. Close. It was an MC-80 Mon Cal Cruiser.

Good, though.

(Moop was also the name of Kyle's band on South Park that Eric quits to form his Xtian Rock band Faith+1)

5. Once in a while I feel bad about being a SF geek.

Then I read a post like this and discover that I'm not so bad.

I'm still not gonna throw away my English/Klingon dictionary, however.
