I’ve only seen the trailer. Did “Mr. Gambino” play Lando as “street” in any way?

The trailer has him say “baby”.

Mr. William’s inspiration for the role of Lando was the swashbucklers he grew up watching as a kid (people like Errol Flynn), he said that a reporter once asked him what his life growing up in America as a black man brought to that role. He said “nothing, the world in Star Wars is far far away from here”.

I honestly don’t remember if he said baby. In my worthless opinion, Billy Dee’s Lando was born suave and I can’t see him NEEDING to cheat at cards. Glover’s Lando impressed me as a street punk trying hard to seem suave.
