Lobot, behind Calrissian during the Ambush in Cloud City Lobot even saved Calrissian's life when the rogue supervisory droid EV-9D9 rigged the city with secretly planted bombs. When the scientist Issan Len was murdered in the city and the Rebels were blamed, Lobot assisted Calrissian in clearing his name. He certainly held no affinity for the Empire from his days as a slave. ĭuring Calrissian's reign, Lobot did not object when his master secretly aided the Rebellion. Calrissian retained Lobot's services, utilizing his abilities in ways never before thought of, such as in Lando's more clandestine operations. He inconspicuously helped Calrissian win the game, with Lando becoming the city's new administrator as well as managing to win back his ship, the Cobra. Lobot recognized in Calrissian an opportunity to boost the struggling work of the city. In 1 ABY, a gambler named Lando Calrissian arrived in the city, challenging inept Baron Administrator Dominic Raynor to a winner-takes-all game of sabacc. " I am the future." ―A malfunctioning Lobot His loss of humanity seemed strange only to those who did not know him. His observations of the world came to focus on numbers and formulas. Regardless, he rarely felt the need to speak, for he could fulfill his duties without verbal communication. While he retained the ability to speak, his speech was reduced to minimal, infrequent sentences. The only negative side effect was that his speech centers deteriorated under the neural pathways to his brain. Lobot's profile showing Borg Construct Aj^6 Now, Lobot could fulfill the duties of many instantly. In the past, running the city's computer took dozens of specialists. In many ways, Lobot was Cloud City-he was the true power behind its everyday operations, whereas the Baron Administrator served that role to the public's face. He could communicate with the city's central computer at all times, controlling issues of bureaucracy, law enforcement, computer programming, repair and security, as well as the communication systems, repulsorlifts, and life-support systems. Lobot's new cybernetic implants increased his intelligence dramatically. He was rewarded for his loyalty by being named chief administrative aide to the Baron Administrator. He became one of the most hardworking and loyal employees in Cloud City, and even when his sentence was fulfilled, he freely chose to continue serving his community. Lobot indentured himself to the city by becoming the first cyborg computer-liaison officer in its history. Cloud City techs shaved Lobot's head, drilled holes in his skull, and fitted him with a Biotech Aj^6 cyborg headband. Seeing potential in the young vagabond, Ellisa sentenced Lobot to fifteen years of involuntary service to the Cloud City community, rather than serve a lengthy prison term, and for him to undergo cyborg augmentation. However, he requested that the Baroness Administrator Ellisa Shallence preside over his case.

At the age of 15, his father was killed when their ship was boarded by pirates. Lobot was the son of a slaver, who traveled across the galaxy raiding backwater and poor worlds for slaves. It's a nice feeling to be welcomed back." You think Lobot's mute, but he's just too busy talking to the central computer to bother speaking to us 'organics.'" ― Lando Calrissian Early years I knew people were clamoring for Lando to come back, but I didn't feel like that would happen. I never expected to really be back in that costume or in the movie, so I still kind of chuckle about the whole thing. "I'm older now, so for me, it's more a source of amusement than anything else. I really enjoyed it," Williams told Variety when asked how it felt to step back into the Lando costume for the first time in nearly 40 years. In Rise of Skywalker, Lando joins the fight against the reigning First Order - now commanded by Supreme Leader Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), the son of Lando's late chum Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Resistance general Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher) - lending a helping hand to the new generation of rebel fighters, including Rey (Daisy Ridley), Finn (John Boyega) and Poe (Oscar Isaac), who come up against the returned Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid). Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker marks Lando Calrissian actor Billy Dee Williams' return to a galaxy far, far away, but the Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi star "never expected" to reprise the role.
