I checked him out, and was surprised to find that he doesn't have any kind of backstory at all.
He doesn't exist outside that one scene in Jedi. He got a name from the card game, though. Renz
Lando Calrissian - did the EU explain exactly why he likes wearing Han's clothes?
Love the design. If they'd treated him more seriously I think the Gungans would be better regarded than they are.
I'm going with the Storm Trooper who clunks his head on the door-jamb on the Death Star.
I admit that I never noticed this until Family Guy pointed it out, but it made perfect sense to me once I was aware of it. Lando flees Cloud City with nothing but the clothes on his back. He's on the Falcon which happens to have at least one drawer full of clothes that should be a pretty close fit. The man can't walk around naked. We're going for a PG rating here.
Agreed. The thing about Admiral Piett is he honestly seems like an ordinary guy just doing his job and helps sell the idea that the Empire is the legitimate government of the galaxy. I always believed he was a decent guy who just happened to be on the side of the bad guys.
Unfortunately, the EU went and depicted him as a spineless bastard.
^^Pretty much all the Empire's military was depicted that way, with the exception of Tarkin and Motti. I never saw anything particularly villainous about the way Tagge, Veers, Needa, Ozzel, or Jerjerodd were portrayed. Their Lieutenants and soldiers were also just doing their job. Yeah, the EU tried to do something but really on screen it was like looking at the Royal Navy or something.
They're the good guys actually, fighting the terrorists.

From a certain point of view, naturally.
I believe it was in the opening crawl in Episode III where it was said "there are heroes on both sides" during the Clone Wars. I imagine that was also true during the Empire Rebellion. The majority of people who served in the Imperial forces liekly weren't evil themselves and actually believed they were working for the common good by fighting those who would destroy the peace brought about by the Empire's New Order.
Others had a different point of view about that New Order.
By far:
Sebulba.
He was really Anakin's nemesis in episode One, not the guy placing bets on him or against Anakin. Sebulba might be new and CGI but his personality wasn't too far off from the kind of interesting scumbags we saw in the original cantina scene.

Why not, Chewie does.
I noticed the clothes thing when I first saw TESB in 1980, and I thought it odd but no one I knew else seemed to have noticed, so I was amused when Family Guy mentioned it. Maybe they were items from Lando's wardrobe that Han won off him at the same time as the Millennium Falcon - although they don't really seem to be his style.
What makes the whole thing about Lando wearing Han's clothes is that on the "descriptive audio" track the narrator makes sure he describes what Lando is wearing
I don't get it.
I watched this video, which compares Han and Lando's clothes.
Han was wearing a dark sleeved jacket and an undershirt with no collar.
Lando was wearing a dark vest and an undershirt with short, but clearly visible collars.
Just more proof that The Family Guy sucks.
Here's a look at the action figure of the costume, which is probably based on production photos.

Funny thing is it's from the same wave as the "Torture rack Han Solo" figure....

Princess Leia's Brass Bikini. Never had any lines, yet it spoke to me.
Lando wearing Han's clothing is a joke that Robot Chicken really did do before Family Guy, and Robot Chicken did it better.
