Prompt: What was Lando up to during Last Jedi?

His damn job, that’s what.

It’s all very well for Leia to be running the ship and for Luke to be doing…whatever the hell he’s doing, Leia messaged him something about an island and a kid and how they’d gotten the Falcon back, oh and Han was dead, like that was going to stick, Lando’s personally attended no less than five of Han’s funerals and he stopped crying after the third. But someone’s got to make sure the ship’s still running, that the Resistance still has allies and resources and funds, those morons have been under the impression for the last three dozen years that rebellions can be run with a wink and a smile and an inspiring speech.

So Lando manages to escape the disaster at Coruscant and works from the Naboo satellite offices and when Leia’s distress signal comes in, he just rubs his eyes and gets back to work, because the last time she sent him one of those it was because she and Luke had been arguing about whether or not she should get Jedi training and Han had taken his side and Chewie hers and they needed a tiebreaker. He’s not willing to find out what she thinks is an emergency right now, not when he’s got to flip the junk bonds in order to boost the Resistance capital before the whole market crashes.

Fucking Skywalkers.

Lando Calrissian is the Responsible Adult of the Resistance, who knows when to call a plumber, understands mortgages and has insurance that actually pays out when shit happens; he invested in space!Bitcoin in 2011 and now he’s sitting on an untraceable FORTUNE that could pay for like, seven Dreadnoughts and an entire Resistance army earning way above minimum wage

Bless this post.
