What makes Lando an all-time A-hole? All-time weasely character, perhaps, all-time cheesy portrayal, certainly, but an A-hole? I don't see it man.

You mean other than selling out Han and Luke, the heroes of the f-ing Star Wars trilogy? I'll never forgive that slimy, double-crossing, no-good swindler.

Let's not forget he did bust Leia and Chewie out of Cloud City, then infiltrated Jabba's palace. He also blew up the second Death Star with some chubby fish-looking dude as his co-pilot. Nah...a true A-hole would never do that.

As for the Star Wars trilogy...Sebulba was a pretty big a-hole. And sandpeople.

Scottie - I think his actions towards the end of TESB are simply "cover your ass" moves, since he knew the Empire would not back him, and Chewbacca would rip his arms out unless he agreed to help them escape. He knew which way the wind was blowing, and Lando was the ultimate pragmatist.

Yeah, he blew up the Death Star, but again, at that point, he had nothing else to lose and likely decided to help the Rebels out of self-interest...mainly in the form of money, glory, and lots of Twi'lek ass.
