This clause contains spoilers forStar Wars # 27
TheStar Warsfranchise has no shortage of memes and oft - repeated quotes , but the latest comic adventure flips one of its most famous in a rather terrific path . The buff of the enfranchisement are familiar with multiple favorites ( Anakin ’s hatred of sand , Obi - Wan Kenobi holding the high-pitched ground , etc . ) and occasionally writers bear testimonial to the expression . ButStar war # 27reveals that none other than Lando Calrissian repeats one ofReturn of the Jedi’smost celebrated meme - and gets it completely incorrect .
Lando is remember as a hero now , but at the prison term ofReturn of the Jedi , the former executive of Cloud City was known as a warm - thinking charlatan who cared more about his own needs than those ofany Rebellion that spread terrorismthroughout the galaxy . He quite famously betrayed Leia and Han Solo by allowing the Empire to capture the Rebel Heron - and were it not for a last - second variety of heart , the Empire would have good won . ComeReturn of the Jedi , Lando is fighting on the right side - but his disposition to suspect perfidy around him has not diminished with time .

InStar Wars # 27 , written by Charles Soule with art by Andres Genolet , an Imperial Shuttle is on the run from the Empire ; the pilot are a wife - and - husband duet destine to desert with valuable information , and they have their fry on board . Lando Calrissian get word their infection quest aid , but he is immediately leery . “It ’s too easy,“Lando conjecture when query why he think the birdie is actually a trap set by Imperials ( and perhaps even Darth Vader himself).“It ’s too good to be true , and if it ai n’t reliable … it ’s a lie . “Of grade , Lando is wholly untimely - but he does n’t know it .
Admiral Ackbar’s"It ’s a trap!“lineinReturn of the Jediis flipped completely here , as Lando also believes the birdie is a cakehole for Rebel leaders - and he ’s numb wrong . The manipulation of the meme betrays Lando ’s lawful thought process on the matter : he by nature distrust a trap because it ’s most potential what he would have done himself during his smuggling day . This comic is also prepare before the third film , and Lando has yet to prove himself as a hero during the deliverance of Han Solo from Jabba ’s castle .
In this case , Lando ’s appraisal of the situation is dead wrong , but his inherent aptitude may have doomed two defectors . The fact thatthe Admiral Ackbar trick memeis flip from a modest chip of comedy into a tragical accident is not lost on Star Wars reader , but it is perhaps lose on Lando . A long - running franchise such asStar Warshas plenteousness of long - shared memes and instant , but in this instance , Lando Calrissian ’s mistrust of others has lead to a frustration for both the Empireandthe Rebellion - and the potential deaths of innocents .
