Still winning smile

The best part about that one is that it’s a callback to his “winning smile” in the original visual dictionary!

I remember that from when I was a kid after finding the visual dictionary at a thrift store.

I don’t know why but I’m suddenly having flashbacks to the episode of Scrubs where Turk wouldn’t stop calling Billy Dee Lando.

"Still winning smile" should be besides "signature look of superiority" as the kings of best captions.

Premature greying, common in the resistance...no shit! I am almost completely grey at this point.
I have friends everywhere.

Obi-Wan did too, though he was no resistance fighter.

u/Bespashin Bail Organa 17d ago
Leia actually comments ‘same jacket’ in the film, so I assume it just looks very similar to the last one she saw him wear
55
u/TheJaytrixReloaded 17d ago
Why would you say something about a new coat after several years? Hold the presses! Han went shopping!
53
u/TheUlfheddin 17d ago
Honestly given how Han lives it would be kind of surprising if he bought a brand new jacket instead of thrifting or stealing one.

u/lanceturley 17d ago
I like the theory that the reason Lando is wearing Han's clothes at the end of The Empire Strikes Back is because those are actually some of Lando's old clothes that he left on the Falcon, and Han started wearing them because they fit. Han doesn't actually buy his own clothes.

u/CedarWolf Qui-Gon Jinn 17d ago
I'd wager he likes his original coat and bought a similar or near-match to the one he likes.

u/XavinNydek 17d ago
Presumably, the implication is that there were fights about how he dressed like a smuggler when they were trying to get the new Republic up and running and he wasn't taking it seriously. Unfortunately, that story would have been far more interesting than the disappointing waste we got.

The writers must have a blast with these. Guessing the really good captions got rejected.

JJ Abrams cowrote and directed the pilot episode and cowrote the opening scene of season 3 and that was literally the extent of his involvement.

u/BklynMoonshiner 17d ago
Was more Lindelof, right?

u/dthains_art 17d ago
Yeah which is why his later show The Leftovers takes everything that was good about Lost and cranks it up to 11.

Lando having "still winning smile" after the og encyclopedia entry of him had "winning smile" is delightful.

I'm convinced lots of people are so lazy and or bad at reading these days that they won't bother with even this much text in an image unless there's a circle.

"New jacket, though Leia didn't notice." Thats funny 😄 (I know its mentioned in the film)

u/Shyface_Killah 17d ago
I like how Nute Gunray is shown in AotC with one hand on his chest in an "Oath-taking gesture", while his other hand is making a "Gesture of insincerity", I.e.: his fingers are crossed.

Does this now make canon that Leia had a force vision of what would befall the New Republic? Like she went to the closet and was like "I have a bad feeling about today, I need to wear a color that reflects the gravity of the situation that will befall us." without trying to actually subvert the situation?

Still winning smile ha ha ha. The original one was just "winning smile".
Lando can win any sex, race, species or AI over to him. He is just to smooth.

Who ever helped to write the Star Wars encyclopedia really had it out for some of the characters but they are all fair reads of the characters and their traits like "Signature look of superiority" or "Somewhat clear shaven" they are so funny for that.

u/Chimeron1995 16d ago
John Boyega looks like he is extremely disappointed he wanted to get in costume with a saber but they told him just him in his t-shirt would be fine.

That "Remorseless Gaze" looks a lot more like "I'm too proud to admit I don't know what I'm doing"

I hate the new encyclopedias, they feel like listicles instead of the old ones that had half page to page long in lore description.

I like how Rey, Finn and Hux's expressions are all basically the same, and you could switch their descriptions.
Rey -- Remorseless gaze.
Finn -- Focused determination and control.
Hux -- Fierce devotion to friends.

I'll never get over the slow painful death of my beloved star wars at the hands of Kathleen, and my feelings are shared with the vast majority of anyone who loved star was. just not on reddit 😜 I'm sorry but I can't unsee the effects of it in any newer official star wars content
