Billy Dee Williams says angry Star Wars fans confronted him for years: "You betrayed Han Solo!"
Williams also thin𒀰ks L༺ando's actions in The Empire Strikes Back are understandable

Billy Dee Williams has felt the wrath of angry Star Wa🍬rs fans.
In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly's , the actor, who played Lando Calrissian in the saga, revealed that furious fans would often confront him for Lando's betrayal of Han Solo in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Empire Strikes Back.
"When I went to pick my daughter up from school, the kids would run up to me and say, 'You betrayed Han Solo!'" the actor revealed. "I'd get on an airplane, and the airplജane stewardess would say, 'You betrayed Han Solo!' Well, I got that for a lot of yea෴rs."
But, as Williams explained, Lando did have a pretty understandable reason for selling his old friend out. "So finally I said, 'Look, think about the whole sit෴uation. You're up against a pretty formidable character, Dar⛎th Vader, and then there's of course Boba Fett. And these people were invading my space, and I had to bargain with them. But the bargain, it at least prevented the complete demise of Han Solo and his friends. But I had to hold on to my whole situation.'"
He c🌜ontinued: "So I found myself explaining all this stuff – well it's not me, it's Lando Calrissian – I found myself having to explain all of this, to a point where I finally said to people, 'Look, I'm tired of explaining a🐎ll of this. Did anybody die? Nobody died. I think that was a clear indication that I – or Lando – was trying to figure something out, and he was trying to figure primarily to hold onto his situation without the complete demise of his friends.'"
In fairness to Lando, he did immediately betray the Empire to help Chewie and Leia try to rescue Han. That's enough for us to fo🏅rgive him.
