It ’s , uh , a middling small summit .
While the Disney - era Star Wars population has made a lot of footstep in term of diversity , the franchise suffered from intimately monochromatic casting for most of its life-time . turn that review article into a pungent joke on this weekend ’s Saturday Night Live , Donald Glover brings out his Lando Calrissian character to host a summit for all the disgraceful people in the Star Wars universe , which has an attendance much humbled than the moon curser / play power / pilot / really coolheaded cat Lando had hoped .
In it , Kenan Thompson also does a pretty solid impression of Forest Whitaker ’s Saw Gerrera from Rogue One , and Samuel L Jackson ’s Mace Windu get a loving shout - out — even if death by defenestration is scarcely right handling for the only black primary graphic symbol of the prequels . ( This particular summit is set before the original trilogy , which would explain Finn ’s absence seizure . SNL has a surprisingly solid hold of the Star Wars timeline . )
This sketch is worth watching both for the sharp digs at the enfranchisement ’s shortcomings , and for a chance to see Glover play Lando before the release of Solo on May 25 , 2018 . Watch it below .
