Billy Dee Williams will reprise the part of conman Lando Calrissian in Disney's 'Star Wars Rebels.'

The 77-year-old actor's addition is the most recent to the Disney series after legendary Muppeteer Frank Oz was tapped to play Yoda last month, and in an on-screen interview Williams admitted he had had a "good time with it," the Verge reported.

Williams will portray a younger and less-experienced version of Calrissian, as the series takes place in the years between Episodes III and IV, and supervising director Dave Filoni said that he was still working on his moves.

Lando's episode will air on Disney XD on January 19th.
