Imgaine my delight when I was informed that I won this book. I'm a HUGE Star Wars fan since it first came out. I even read the books in the 90s'. I can never get tired of them. Lando happens to be one of the mysterious characters. I've always wondered about his past. I orginally thought I'd get some of the gist of his past and how he became the man he is. Unfortunately that didn't happened. But.....there a piece of his past which is told by a woman. The illustrations were wonderfully and tastefu...

A fun short story about one of Lando's adventures during the Empire's rule. With interesting characters and the conflict of restoration of a stolen artefact to its rightful owners, this book contemplates important issues of our world set in a galaxy far far away.

3.5 stars. A lightweight story of an early Lando-L3 escapade. Lando gets caught smuggling (what a surprise), and ends up getting coerced/convinced by the young princess of a planet to help her return a precious artifact (and energy source) to a planet past the Outer Rim. L3 is properly sarcastic and annoyed at the troubles Lando puts her through. Lando's vain, sneaky, not willing to do anything without lots of $$ to compensate his efforts, which is totally in keeping with who he was characterize...

Probably closer to 2 stars for me but it gains a star for having Lando and L3...I would be curious to have my daughter read this one and see if she likes it better than I do. Typically I enjoy the young readers Star Wars books just as much as the "adult" books but this one left me a little bit cold. The plot is pretty predictable all along the way, Lando seems to be an afterthought to the story, L3 has almost no part at all. The new characters aren't all that memorable and the stakes never seem

I was so excited to receive this one from Bookishfirst. I love Star Wars and I loved this one. It was a awesome cover. Well written by and established author that I already enjoy. This was geared toward Middle Grade but I think it can be enjoyed by any age. And by Sci fi lovers or Star Wars Lovers. This edition was a beautiful hardback book and it would be an great addition to anyone's Star Wars collector. Whether you are a Star Wars in general fan or if your favorite character is Lando you shou...

*I received a free copy from the publisher and chose to leave a voluntary review. Thank you!* I love Star Wars and the Star Wars universe. I'm not a mega fan like some people but I still like it and enjoy it very much. It is something I share with my kids and family. So when this book came up for review I was excited. Since I read some excerpts from the book and liked them I was even more excited. That being said... I really enjoyed it for the most part but towards the end it seemed

I really enjoyed Lando’s Luck. Justina Ireland writing is as smooth as Lando. Ireland writes Lando just as he sounds in Solo. L3 is also spot on. Sometimes writers write L3’s dialogue too snarky. Not here. A fun, quick read that leads into the next book in the series. Look for my full review at skywalkingthroughneverland.com coming soon.

I have to be ask myself, if Lando’s name was not all over this read how much would I really care, honestly not much.....Kinda of boring

Very disappointed in this book. I am not even a big Lando fan, but even he deserves better than to be portrayed as a two bit con man at best, a grinning idiot with luck on his side at worst.I have no problem introducing new characters into the Star Wars universe, but I hate having established legends completely up staged but these characters.Lando comes across as a cape wearing pansy all style and no substance at all. He needs to be saved from every situation he gets himself into. In fact apart

I like Lando Calrissian. I think he’s at his most interesting when he’s wrestling with everything he thought he knew about life, the universe, and himself, all covered up with a flashy cape and an abundance of self confidence. But at this point in his journey, he isn’t quite there yet.[READ FULL REVIEW: https://arezoudeetoo.com/2020/12/01/b...]Sometime before the events of Solo, Lando is living the life as a not-entirely-above-board smuggler.

I don’t know why this is marketed as a story about Lando, when it is almost entirely about the princess, Rinetta, and how Lando helped her. Also, this has the plot of a level in Spyro: Year of the Dragon, so. Meh? I didn’t hate it but it was very nothing.

A fun if inconsequential read

Always happy to have another story about Lando

Finally, a Lando book that’s actually worthy of the name. Billy Dee Williams brought such a suave flair to Lando that we were too busy falling in love to notice what a jerkwad he was, and few authors have managed to capture that mix of debonair and knavish that defines the character. Ireland gets Lando Calrissian spot on, though, and gives him ample opportunity to show off his carefree charm in this fast, fun adventure.

If you're a SWEU fan who is looking for a quick read, this won't disappoint. This issue is that this story revolves more around other characters than Lando, so I'm guessing the title was chosen solely to garnish interest. I would say Lando's appearances equates to probably 1/3 of the book, and when he is active, he's more interested in his cape, charisma and reputation than anything else. It is true, however, about Lando's Luck. He is saved/rescued multiple times by either his crew or the other

Won Hardcover ARC from BookishFirst.com!I really enjoyed this middle grade book about Lando Calrissian. This was my first book by Justina Ireland. I'm not a *huge* Star Wars fan (that would be my husband) but I dabble. I dabble more in the kid-range things than the adult stuff. haha. I read this book in one sitting which is no huge accomplishment because it's only 168 pages. But it was also a really fun book! Lando thinks luck has nothing to do with anything until his luck literally runs out. He...

I am long term fan of the Star Wars Saga and was overjoyed 😄 when this book came out. My first impression was that it will be action packed from cover to cover. It will follow the life of the rebels and the troubles that they must overcome in a difficult time. The story will be enjoyable for all fans regardless of age as the story will be full of excitement. Although this was only a short glimpse into the novel I was enjoying it very much indeed. The story was full of descriptions and the was ve...

I listened to this book via Audible.It can be difficult to know what to expect when it comes to reading a children's book - it could be dumbed down and simplified or it could be something that is just more appropriate for younger audiences. Thankfully Lando's Luck falls into the latter category and is a perfectly fine Star Wars read for fans of all ages.It isn't said specifically when the story takes place, but it is certainly before the events of Solo: A Star Wars Story. Lando and L3-37 are sti...
