100% agree on Dillon = Lando. Great call outs on the similarities.

I was fortunate enough to meet Carl Weathers briefly, few years before he showed up on Mandalorian, held the door for him going into Tender Greens. As expected, Carl was a double protein and vegetables kinda guy. Dude didn’t look like he’d aged a week since the Rocky movies.

Standing in line in front of him I thought at least 20x about saying, “yo Apollo” but I didn’t have it. My wife was with me and LA has this weird overhang where if you meet a celebrity in the wild and dork out, everyone rolls their eyes. When he passed away last year, the regret of not saying something fun grew exponentially.

It's not just being Black and having a mustache- there is a slight resemblance in appearance between Weathers and Williams here that could be another convincing argument.
