Description
Who would I have chosen for Lando? Meg. Yes, there's a running gag about her lack of a presence in these things, and she's not black, but neither is Mort, and there are a lot of joke opportunities by making her Lando. For one thing, Meg / Lando and Peter / Han could have a hostility towards each other that mirrors the Family Guy show, and it would add a whole new subtext to Lando's betrayal.Related content

I agree... this was a missed opportunity. Plus they gave Mort-Lando like nothing to do. :-/

She looks hot black! She could be friends with Roberta.

Eh, it was actually funnier with mort. Plus, being the butt monkey means that she can't have any cool rolls.
Personally, i would have used Rollo.

Does Something, Something, Something, Dark Side have any (other) Meg-icide I should know about it?

Anybody sick of Peter telling a story? I am. I like to see a differant character tell a story and give it a new perspective.

hmmm, I know you already mentioned it, but it's kind of the joke that Meg never gets good roles in the Star Wars series, but I think if they were going to have her be anyone signifigant it would be Jabba The Hutt, if only to play up the 'everybody thinks meg is hideous and fat' joke. I also see a teenage girl filling the role of a thirty-something year old man being an even more unforgivable departure than Mort, regardless of the race issue.

Mm, but Stewie, barely one year old, is playing a 40-something cyborg father of Chris. Logic doesn't always apply.

wow... I must say I am extremely impressed at how similar this is to an actual family guy character, its like you work for the program XD

Heh.
Btw, Greedo speaks Huttese.
That reminds me, (the blog thing, not the Star Wars/Family Guy stuff) I mentioned El Goonish Shive briefly in a guest blog I did about alien languages here: [link]
Two reasons I'm mentioning it besides the obvious: 1. The blog is my bro's, and he turned me onto EGS in the first place, and 2. I could only conjecture at how you come up with Uryuom, and I'd love to be corrected if I'm wrong.
Also, yay Dan blog! XD

Wow, you really captured the family guy style. I mean, its not exactly complicated, but wow.

Meg's a character that's taken so much abuse in the name of comedy, that it's nowhere near being funny. Seriously, they should either write her out or stop with the abuse.
But yeah, Meg as lando would have made more sense plot-wise than Mort, but it is Peter telling the story.

The abuse is because it's a dark comedy. Alot of people do watch the show just for that.

Agreed, there so many things they failed to do, or under used simply so they could throw more gay jokes in.

At first I thought this was fan art, because I havn't seen it, really looks at the special and yeah. But the main reason is because a Lando-Meg really would make sence. Good work.

Huh, a suprisingly fitting choice for the role...
