People are 'selected' for promotion all the time in Hollywood. Look at Sam Worthington; a terrible actor who had a run where he was in everything for a while. Somebody was trying hard to get that guy to the next level. Regarding Will Smith, do you honestly believe Hollywood was actively trying to keep the next Tom Cruise from appearing so they could sell Will Smith? You don't think they'd be happy to have more than one cash cow?
Not sure what you mean by a drop in movie content in the 90s, it's regarded as one of the better decades for cinema.
As for Lando, you read his character arc all wrong----he is the one successful character in the series--he's a successful business man, he didnt have much choice to help Vader- he kept challenging Vader about the change in agreement--he was no bad guy---and then he decided finally "I'll activate my white man assistant Lobot to call in the cavalry."
They had to give Cruise elevator shoes to play a German officer in one movie
