I was amazed to discover that Lando is, in fact, an Imperial officer! That sure explains the whole Han Solo in Carbonite thing, doesn't it?
Okay, you got me. Lando is not an Imperial officer. However according to this skin is he. Or rather the author was too lazy to change anything except the coloring of the torso. It retains the Imperial rank badge, when in fact, according to the author's own reference image, Lando's rank badge is completely different. No attempt was made to replicate this rank badge, or the torso at all for that matter. Lando's tunic has a line - probably the zipper - going right down the center of his chest. Does this skin? Nope. The author just took the Imperial torso, slapped it on Lando, and colored it yellow. Sorry, doesn't cut the cheese for me. If you're going for a movie rendition of Lando, don't go half way. Do it right or don't bother doing it.
That's not the only thing that's inaccurate here. The little buttony things on his collar aren't even close to what they are in the reference picture. The shade of blue isn't even close. The color of the torso and sleeves is pretty good, but the torso fades to a very dark gold color, which Lando's outfit didn't. I was almost impressed that the author added the wrist band, but then I realized that was part of the original Lando skin.
Unfortunately there just isn't much I can be impressed with here. It's a hodge podge of recolored skins put together to create Imperial General Lando Calrissian... and it just looks wrong without the detail that should have been put into it. Good job matching colors, but next time match your reference, too.
