Even ESB, the artsiest/darkest original movie, doesn't fully commit. Cf Lando giving up on saving his city doesn't HURT as much as it couldhttps://twitter.com/shadowtodd/status/808737027617386497 …

Imagine if we had to look through Lando's eyes as the Imperials torch homes, smash up factories, line his ppl up to be arrested and enslaved

As it is this horrible decision he makes still has it implied his ppl get out ok and it's all smoothed over by the next movie

We can meditate for a sec on whether it's genius or just fucked that Lucas put the Dilemma of the Good German on his only black character

Getting into it with a little kid about how these decisions aren't so simple in a time of totalitarian government

"Lando had a very difficult decision to make. Maybe someday if you have other people relying on you to protect them you'll understand"

like he's a foil for Han, but mainly because he's who Han would be if he didnt hide behind pretense of mercenary indifference

Han is his past self who never learned to give a damn about goals beyond survival
