Full respect to Billy Dee Williams! He was answering a question about representation and he meant to say: "I don't play a POC, I play a Person. Whoever sees me acting, can relate to my characters". And that's something he said in other interviews too.
Lando is a man of class. An aristocrat with a suave taste for women and clothes, and a heart of gold. Basically, a richer, more well-mannered Han Solo. That's what I loved about him.
What makes Lando so cool, is that we thought Solo was the coolest character in Star Wars, until we see him insecure next to Lando. That was very smart of George Lucas.
i think he was saying something like "we are star dust, ..." like what neil degrasse tyson is saying... not something above others, but someone within everything in the universe....
He’s right in a very profound way, anyone who doesn’t see the truth in this has been blinded by the physical aspect of the world. Don’t get caught up in social status and material flaunting as a way of defining who you are.
???? Except that when you say you're just the universe creating and experiencing itself that is reducing yourself to nothing BUT material, and giving your spirit away for free to the Deceiver who is the Master of this physical realm. I think YOU'VE been blinded by pride, wanting to think that you yourself are THE CREATOR. This is blasphemy. We are NOT all One. We are so much more.
Don't get caught up in letting your beliefs and opinions define who you are either. Who you are is ultimately defined by YOUR ACTIONS and YOUR INTENTIONS.
Such a shame his son, Jimi, died before he could watch the extraordinary guitarist come of age. though kinda weird he helped himself to Prince's wardrobe.
The feeling of being One with Everything is actually an error caused by overactivity in your brain and new neuronal connections being made. It's similar to what happens during certain types of seizures. We are not a universal being. We are not our own Creator.
A human being is a spatially and temporally limited piece of the whole, what we call the “Universe.” He experiences himself and his feelings as separate from the rest, an optical illusion of his consciousness. The quest for liberation from this bondage is the only object of true religion. Not nurturing the illusion but only overcoming it gives us the attainable measure of inner peace. - Albert Einstein
Sorry. Could not hear you better since the DEAL was not altered enough. This man played a tool to Disney company, not a character. He is so useless now. Star wars is dead and we have idiots who enjoy it now who ruined the lore and made it feel like a vibrator for little girls.
How exactly is that racist? To me it sounds like Billy Dee Williams is saying that he doesn't define his personality solely on the color of his skin, that sounds like the opposite of racism to me because he doesn't care what color he is, he's just human and that's how it should be, a colorblind society.
No, William's approach is 100% correct. He wasn't portraying a democrat, republican, gay or straight, black or white person. He was portraying someone who is from a totally different time and galaxy. A perspective much better than the childish idiots who were just using this to whine about Donald Trump and push shallow politics with lazy metaphors and sometimes not even metaphors.

Flick I like the 1990s version a hell of a lot better
"I had no choice. They arrived just before you did. I'm sorry."
Punch it!
why the hell would we trust you? Lucas

@@JarJarAbrams My point exactly. Hence why I would have favored Lando marrying Leia instead of Han. Hey, they're both nobles, it could work!
Lando likes men as well.
@@anthonytrashboat no he doesn't. Stop spreading fake news
@@the4thindustrialrevolution225 he literally does tho.
Remember he's 80 and smokes weed regularly, cool guy in my book
@Sir Knight Errant
Apperently reading comprehension is dead and everyone argues against strawmen these days.
That explains this.
I mean, this is how I've always seen Billy Dee Williams as well. Nothing wrong with stating a fact!
i think he was saying something like "we are star dust, ..." like what neil degrasse tyson is saying... not something above others, but someone within everything in the universe....
Andrew Eric READ THE COMMENT NUMNUTS...
I actually agree with what hes trying to say here. Its that he focuses on the character and not on the skin, something the left does way too much!
The right is no less guilty.
(I'm centrist)

Billy Dee Williams is the man!

Ahh yeah Billy dee Williams definitely dabbled in psychedelics
You don't need to take psychedelics to understand what we are.

@@johntaylor8463 The New Age Enlightenment is a lie. We are NOT all One.
Hell yeah Billy - I appreciate that sentiment.
Good man.
Nothing wrong with what he said here. The people from the original trilogy understand that it was much more than childish identity politics.
Too bad he's only 5 minutes in the movie
Then again, Harrison had a bigger role in TFA and that completely nuked his character.
@Joe Schmoe Oh god, mark was shredded to pieces
That was awesome.

Legend

What he says is pretty great.
I accept it, I want lando to be a space god.
AMAZING man..
We are stardust after all
Great actor.
Kind of a Jedi outlook.
Nothing like being on a New Age trip.
I like him
Lando is a boss.
Jar jar abrams is a Jokel
Says you
@@anthonytrashboat yes.
I don't see a problem here.
Pag Wreck Same
Growing up watching the original trilogy, I others thought Lando was Mexican lol
RIP billy D
*He's still alive.*
but he’s with the cosmos now 😱🙏👁💦☔️
"What da hell is gender fluid!???"
is he on dmt
Thought the same. Or ket.
Really sad how monotone he is here. You can tell he's trying not to make this shitshow about politics.
joethetimelord He’s not monotone, it’s deadpan if anything. Not really even deadpan though.
@@fledgling5616 He's not very enthusiastic is what I mean.
joethetimelord Yeah he’s probably annoyed and trying to be calm lol
Or maybe hes just really fucking old
DavidPoddany a black man and Disney together? Must be political SJW shit
Hahahahahaha
He must really need the money...
I think Disney saw him as a universal cameo part of the money making machine
huh.
Classy man billy Dee is, don't make em like this anymore
Billy Dee is Woke!
Yes yes and he also sees himself as the Gotham City District Attorney as he was almost two face in Tim Burton's Batman.
Someone seriously downvoted this?
He looks depressed.
I think he's trashed bruh
Tbh I’m pretty racist but I see nothing wrong with this.
What
You heard me
I love asians
Sentient Salad Studios Japanese are pretty cool
Too bad so many Asians eat dogs

Oh I was being sarcastic lol, there's nothing racist about it
@@MoonlitMarch Oh I understand you now. LOL!!!
Proud of myself for knowing you were joking. My autism is diminishing.
i think lando being panseual makes more sense than this
Did you even watch the video?
Then you sir, are a moron
Idiot he's not
Lol you are a fool
