A Marvel/Star Wars Crossover In Marvel's 'What If...?'
Star Wars and Marvel are two of the biggest franchises in the twenty-first century pop culture ethos at the moment. Star Wars' 40-year legacy combined with the Marvel Cinematic Universe's ongoing track record since 2008 resulted in their own diverse characters, lore, and history.

Lando Was Originally Going To Be A Clone
The history of Star Wars is one of many drafts, ideas, concepts, and themes. It is an ever changing and evolving process . There are many versions and variations of the movies, as one might say. The Star Wars saga that we have come to know and love could have taken shape many different ways. With these various drafts come various takes on the characters, and many directions they could have gone. Once upon a time, R2-D2 could talk, Han Solo was an alien, Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader were two separate characters, and Luke Skywalker was originally female. These were just examples from A New Hope alone. The characters of Empire Strikes Back went through similar evolution as well. The movie was going to dig deep into the backstory of one particularly suave and cool Lando Calrissian. In an alternate version of the movie, he was supposed to be a clone.

However, they make such an lasting impression on fans either due to their unique design or personality. Because of this, they are given longer story arcs, and more detailed character development in the Expanded Universe with entire novels and comic series dedicated to them. Just because one is a background character in Star Wars does not necessarily mean that they are unimportant. The vastly huge universe is made up of many interesting people.
