Lando Calrissian's Timeline
Key Events in Lando Calrissian's Star Wars Story
Lando Calrissian was born in 43 BBY.
Landonis Balthazar "Lando" Calrissian is a human smuggler, gambler, entrepreneur, and sabacc player who rose to become Baron Administrator of Cloud City on Bespin and, later, a general in the Rebel Alliance. Born on Socorro, he was the original owner of the Millennium Falcon before losing the freighter to Han Solo in a game of sabacc. Charming and self-interested but ultimately loyal, he is best known for his fraught reunion with Han at Cloud City—where he was coerced by Darth Vader into betraying his friends before turning against the Empire—and for piloting the Falcon during the Battle of Endor that destroyed the second Death Star. Decades later, having lived as a recluse after the First Order abducted his infant daughter, he answered the call to rally reinforcements for the Battle of Exegol, helping secure the Resistance's final victory over the Sith Eternal.
