Billy Dee Williams Also Asked to Return for Episode 7.

 We’ve already heard that Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill have been asked to be part of the upcoming Episode 7. Now we have another confirmation for another fan favourite member from the original cast.

“Film Buff asked Williams outright if he would be reprising the role of Lando Calrissian for J.J. Abrams’ new Star Wars flick while attending the Monster Mania Convention. The actor’s response was short and sweet, but he says he has been asked to play the charming former smuggler again, and is still thinking about it. As the site points out, Williams will be turning 76 soon and his decision may be based on whether he feels up to what is bound to be a pretty intense shoot or not. I had the pleasure of meeting the actor myself last year and he definitely appears more than capable to me!”
