Book Watch: Three Lando Calrissian Star Wars Books for Billy Dee Williams' Birthday

Since today is Billy Dee Williams' birthday (he's 83) here are three Lando Calrissian Star Wars books you might want to add to your To Read List. I have the first book (I haven't read it yet but I will) and I'm planning on getting the other two as well.

From smooth talking Administrator of Cloud City and former scoundrel to being a heroic General of the Rebel Alliance, it was great seeing Lando's return to the war and in his former ship, the Millennium Falcon.

Happy Birthday Billy Dee Williams and thank you for portraying one of my favorite characters, Lando Calrissian. May The Force Be With You!
