"Dealing with Lando" is the first part of the third episode of LEGO Star Wars: All-Stars. It was released on Disney XD on November 24, 2018.
==Plot summary==
===Stranded on Vandor===
A Gozanti-class cruiser lands on the snowy, mountainous world of Vandor. A labor droid pushes out a crate. Pace Freemaker and Lena dig their way out of the crate. Pace asks if they are gone yet and remarks that cargo containers are not the most comfortable way to travel. Lena realizes that they are not on Canto Bight and asks where they are. She is unaware of Vandor.
A frustrated Pace asks why this is happening to him even though he doesn't look for trouble. He says that trouble keeps coming to him like a rancor. The two flee as a labor droid carrying a crate approaches them. The two take a flight of stairs up to the cantina with alien and humanoid patrons.
When Pace asks what they should do now, Lena suggests going their separate ways. The Galactic Empire is after Lena while a Hutt is after Pace. She says it is too risky a combo and wishes him good luck. Pace considers parting ways but proposes that the two of them work together and watch each other's back. Lena is skeptical of the idea since she has not had the best of luck with partners.
Pace says it was just an idea and walks to one of the cantina tables. However, Lena changes her mind and says it makes sense staying together if they are going to Canto Bight. Pace smiles and says he can get them there. Lena asks how and reiterates that she is tired of traveling by cargo crates. Pace suggests that they can find some work.
===Lando's offer===
Someone asks if they are looking for work. The stranger introduces himself as Lando Calrissian and bows to Lena, kissing her hand. He says that he has gotten a ship and a job for any crew brave enough to take it. He shows Lena and Pace several Corusca gems. Lena says these are priceless enough to take them to Canto Bight. Lando says he knows where to find many more.
Pace thinks there will be trouble just like a rancor. Lando acknowledges it won't be easy and safe but reassures them he has pulled it off below and says it can be their ticket to Canto Bight. Lena says there is both good and bad trouble. Pace asks if this is good trouble. Lena replies that they don't have better offers. Pace says they are in.
===Double trouble and ticket offworld===
Lando leads them to "Docking Bay Three." As they leave, their presence is noticed by the blue bearded alien Pru Sweevant who contacts Graballa by holoprojector. Graballa says it is not a great time because his cousin Jabba is all over his tail. Pru tells Graballa that he has found Pace and that he is traveling with that "fugitive girl." Graballa is delighted and promises to make him rich. Graballa tells Yeppau to contact Corporal Estoc via holoprojector. When Estoc asks whom she owes this unpleasant interruption, Graballa tells her he has found the fugitive. Estoc asks Graballa to tell him everything.
Arriving in Docking Bay 3, Pace is impressed by the sight of the Millennium Falcon. Pace and Lena are greeted by the droid L3-37, who says she wanted an experienced team rather than "pretty eyes" and a kid. Pace is flattered until Lena points out that he is the kid. Lando vouches for Pace and Lena's experience but agrees that Lena has pretty eyes.
When L3-37 asks if they know how to fly, Lando says this is the case. Pace and Lena nervously say they know how to fly. Lando leads them aboard. When Pace asks L3-37 if Lando is always a smooth talker, the droid agrees with his observation and adds unfortunately. Pru plants a tracking device on one of the Falcon's landing gears as it flies into space.
===Chasing a comet===
While the Falcon is traveling through hyperspace, Pace and Lena marvel when Lando tells them that there is an entire comet made of Corusca gems. Lando says that it is too big for any ship to hold and that they have to break it up first. L3-37 adds that you are going to love this part. Lando says that he is going to shoot it and that they are going to scoop its pieces. Lena points out that Corusca gems are super hard and that if they are blasted out like that they would rip right through us. Lando replies that he told her that this job is for the brave. L3-37 adds for the stupid.
The Millennium Falcon follows the purple Corusca gel comet. Lando begins the countdown to separation while Pace comments on the countdown. Lando fires the ship's frontal pod with Lena and Pace inside. He tells them to relax and to just drop into the tail of the comet without getting pulverized.
While manning the frontal pod's controls, Pace says he has dealt with guys like Lando and says they are not to be trusted. Lena asks why doesn't Lando have L3 flying the ship if it is so dangerous. Lando replies that flying through a comet is tricky and that he needs her navigation skills. L3 adds that she refused to do it. Lando says here we go as he flies the Falcon away from the comet.
Pace deploys the pod's net. The Falcon blasts the comet, releasing large rocks which are caught by the pod's net. Lando asks if this are going good and Lena replies so far. Lando cheers and boasts they are going to be rich. Lando flies the Falcon for a second pass and blasts the comet. More rock fall into the solar net. Lando tells them to be careful and asks if they are not scratching his paint. Pace says no.
===Hutt and Imperial entanglements===
However, Graballa's starship Rancor's Fist and an Imperial Y-45 armored transport hauler exit hyperspace and catch the Millennium Falcon in a tractor beam. Estoc orders the pilot of the Falcon to stand down and says that he is harboring an Imperial fugitive. Graballa adds my guy and tells her not to forget Pace.
Lando is surprised that his crew are fugitive while L3-37 remarks that they didn't seem to be the type. Lena shifts the pod and the net behind the asteroid to avoid detection. Lando tells Estoc to scan his ship and reassures her that there is nobody but him and his droid aboard. Estoc says he is lying and counters that she has reliable sources pointing out that the fugitives are on his ship.
Estoc says she doesn't know what they are doing out here in the middle of nowhere while Graballa says he will look around and find out. Pace contacts Lando over the intercom and asks if he has a got plan here. L3-37 shuts up transmission and tells Lando that the Empire is going to steal his ship. Lando counters that the Empire is going to send him to the spice mines and to melt her down into slag. Lando says he is trying to save his skin and her bolts.
===Lando's attempted betrayal and escape===
Lando decides to cooperate and tells Graballa and Estoc that he knows where their fugitives are and proposes coming to an arrangement. When Pace asks why can't they hear Lando, Lena says that Pace doesn't want them to. Lena says that they have got all the gems and that they should make a run for it. Pace asks but what if Lando has got their back.
Lena tells Pace he doesn't. Pace counters that it is not about who he is but what they are. He says that they had a deal and that we can't abandon him. Lena asks if Pace is an honest partner. Pace says that Corusca gems can cut through transparisteel if they are moving fast enough. Pace tells Lena to hand on because they are going fast.
Meanwhile, Lando asks if he is free to go if he tells them where Pace and Lena are. Estoc replies if it leads to their capture. Lando is about to tell them they are right behind the comet but Pace detaches the net from the pod and releases the gems into the path of the Rancor's Fist and the Imperial ship, knocking out their systems.
L3-37 tells Lando the tractor beam is gone. Lando tells her to move the shoulders. As they leave, Lando tells L3 not to forget their pod and picks up the smaller craft before fleeing into space. Estoc is distraught by her tarnished record. Graballa contacts her by holoprojector and describes her life as one big poodoo sandwich. Jabba then contacts Graballa by holoprojector and chastises him, prompting Graballa to remark they have to share that sandwich.
===A new home===
While traveling through hyperspace, Pace thanks Lando for not leaving them behind. L3-37 points out that Lando was going to sell them out. Lando denies that he was going to sell them out and claims he was trying to buy them more time. Pace apologizes about losing Lando's gems but Lena points out that it was the only way out. Lando tells them to forget it because it is not worth having the gems around without them to use it.
Pace asks Lando to drop them at Canto Bight but Lando refuses because the Empire and Hutts are after them. He explains that Canto Bight is where one goes to be seen rather than to hide. Pace sighs. Lando says he can take them somewhere where they will never be noticed. Lando takes them to the Wheel space station, which he explains is home to hundreds of species. He takes them to the site of the future Freemaker garage and tells them that they will blend right in. Pace begins planning out the dimensions of his garage and says he can build ships and a life here. He says he can call it "Pace's Garage."
However, Lando tells him to be smart and not to use their real names. He adds that they are free to make any name they want. Lena comes up with the family name Freemaker. Lando warns them not to use their real names and tells Pace to grow a mustache. L3-37 supports Lando's suggestion. Lando bids them farewell before departing on the Falcon.
Lena asks Pace if he would like a partner in their business. Pace says that would be nice but quips that she can be trouble. Lena jokes that there can be both good and bad trouble. She asks which one am I. Pace says just the right kind and the two kiss each other. The Falcon jumps into hyperspace.
