The Calrissians, or Calrissian family, refers to the lineage of Landonis Balthazar Calrissian, a human smuggler who rose to the rank of general within the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the Galactic Civil War. Sheev Palpatine, the Galactic Emperor, viewed the fate of the Calrissian family as a sorrowful tale during the Galactic Civil War.
This family included Landonis Balthazar Calrissian, along with his father and mother, and his daughter Kadara Calrissian.
The introduction of the Calrissian family occurred with Landonis Balthazar Calrissian's appearance in the 1980 motion picture Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back, the second film in the Star Wars original trilogy.
An initial attempt to delve deeper into Lando Calrissian's familial background took place during the development of the 1999 movie Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace. This involved introducing Lando's father, initially named "Grando Calrissian," with Samuel L. Jackson considered for the role. However, this character was ultimately abandoned when Jackson chose to portray Jedi Master Mace Windu in the prequel trilogy instead.
A preliminary script version for Solo: A Star Wars Story, the 2018 Star Wars Anthology film, featured Korso as Lando Calrissian's elder brother.
