Lando Calrissian (AT)

In the alternate timeline, Lando Calrissian was the governor of the Cloud City on Bespin, originally appointed by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine of the Galactic Republic. After the end of the Clone Wars, Lando kept his position as governor, knowing it wouldn't compete with the duties of the Senate. Nine-teen years after the end of the war, he would succeed Arianne Durosup as Senator of Bespin, which would make her his successor as governor. After becoming senator, Calrissian would face an invasion of Bespin by Jabba the Hutt. He would later be rescued and aided by Luke and Leia Skywalker and the 501st along with Arianne.

Early Life
In the alternate timeline, Lando Calrissian was born much earlier than in the original timeline. He was born on the planet Socorro approximately fifty-two years before the Sith's return. During his youth, he was quite a party-goer. Lando loved to throw parties with friends and family, along with his father, Lindo Calrissian. However, not very much people on Socorro really liked Lando and his family, because their skin was black.

A New Life
When Calrissian was seven-teen years old, he and his family left Socorro for a new life on the planet Lothal. Lando's father, Lindo, bought a cantina on Lothal to make a living. Everyday, Lando helped his father run the cantina. While doing so, he started to learn how to play the gambling card game, sabacc. He stared playing sabacc publicly with his father customers and extorted plenty of money from them. However, when his father found out, he forbade sabacc in his cantina. Lindo wasn't fond of gambling because he knew how risky it can be. With no sabacc, Lando had to find a new way to spend his life.

During the Clone Wars, Lando decided to take up studying politics and how the senate and republic worked. He started studied to be Lothal's new senator. He started studying so hard and for so long that he stopped helping his father with the cantina. Lindo didn't really think politics were a good way for Lando to live, because he knew how it could be risky if it escalated to conflict, as the Clone Wars proved. But Lando studied nonetheless, because he'd learned his lesson from gambling with sabacc and decided he should learn to change the galaxy for the better.

Entrance Into Politics
Lando never finished his political studies, for he was interrupted when Supreme Chancellor Palpatine of the Galactic Republic addressed the planet at the near end of the Clone Wars to appoint a new governor for Bespin. Lando thought of this as opportunity; he might not be the senator he'd hoped to be, but he would be making a difference in the galaxy. So, with the credit he got from working at the cantina and sabacc, he left home and boarded the next shuttle to Coruscant.

Upon arrival, Lando went to Palpatine's office and presented himself as a candidate for governor of Bespin. Palpatine saw potential in him because of how much effort he'd put into his studies, so he gave Lando the job. Of course, Lando couldn't watch over the whole planet without competing with senator Arianne. However, he could govern a city, so he became the Republic governor of Cloud City. After hearing the holonet bulletin about the chancellor being a Sith Lord and executed by the Jedi, Lando felt upset at being 'played' by the Sith. Nevertheless, after the Senate voted senator Velisa Thul of Alderaan as the new chancellor, Lando kept his position as Cloud City's governor, provided he didn't compete with the Senate.

Transition to Senator and Facing an Invasion
Nine-teen years after the Clone Wars ended, Arianne retired from the Senate and returned home to Bespin. This spelled opportunity for Lando, so he took up Arianne's place as the senator of Bespin. However, once in the senatorial office, Bespin faced an invasion of thugs, mercenaries, and pirates, all in the pockets of Jabba the Hutt, the crime lord of Tatooine. Lando and Arianne - the new governor of Cloud City - were then captured and brought to Jabba. Lando was rather surprised, a Hutt was never usually the type to conquer a planet. but when he and Arianne asked Jabba, he refused to give an answer.

But with the arrival of Gungan Jedi-governor, Brandon, Lando escaped with him and Arianne to the Cloud City capital tower. After pre-recording a message for the Coruscant and the Senate, Lando gave the USB containing the message to Brandon so he could deliver it to Chancellor Thul.

After about a day, Lando and Arianne were rescued by Jedi Knight Leia Skywalker, who led them out of the tower and through the armies of pirates in their way. Lando then gleefully witnessed Leia's Jedi brother, Luke, leading the 501st clone legion to drive away the Hutt invaders. They succeed and Bespin was saved.

Behind the Scenes
Lando's father, Lindo was originally made in the "LEGO Star Wars: The Yoda Chronicles" TV series. There, he had a black afro and owned the Millennium Falcon as a party-ship. Lando working in a cantina on Lothal was inspired by Lando's debut appearance in the "Star Wars: Rebels" TV series, "Idiot's Array". His 'governor of Cloud City' career is basically part of the original timeline as seen in his debut appearance in the franchise, Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, he just got in charge of it earlier.
