AceShowbiz - Donald Glover, who will be starring in the upcoming "Lando" film for Disney and Lucasfilm, is eager to infuse the "Star Wars" universe with more "fun," believing that the franchise has become "way too serious" at times.

"As a 'Star Wars' fan myself, I think it's important that there just needs to be more fun being had," Glover told The Wall Street Journal. "It's very hard to have fun right now. It's tough because there are very serious things happening."

Glover acknowledges the importance of addressing serious issues, but also stresses the need for enjoyment in the human experience. "Part of the human experience, I believe, is we have a responsibility to have enjoyment, and I just feel like we're lacking in that department," he said.

Glover's desire for a more lighthearted approach to "Star Wars" aligns with his portrayal of Lando Calrissian, a charming and pragmatic character who often provides comic relief. "Lando, I think the best part about him is he's a scoundrel," Glover explained. "And I feel like people can relate to that."

The actor-rapper's comments reflect a wider sentiment among fans who have criticized the recent 'Star Wars' films for their excessive seriousness. Glover's 'Lando' movie, which will focus on the character's rise to prominence, aims to address this criticism and provide a more entertaining experience for fans.

Glover and his brother, Stephen Glover, are co-writing the film, which was originally planned as a Disney+ series before being transitioned to a theatrical release. Despite the postponement of his Childish Gambino farewell tour due to health concerns, Glover remains committed to bringing "Lando" to life and fulfilling his goal of making 'Star Wars' a more enjoyable experience for fans.
