In the Original Trilogy, prior to “Return of the Jedi,” Lando’s allegiance to the Rebel Alliance lacked an official rank.
However, during the events of “Return of the Jedi,” he ascended to the esteemed position of General, acknowledging his pivotal role alongside Han Solo in bolstering the Rebellion, notably at the Battle of Taanab.
In subsequent narratives within the Legends universe, Lando’s military trajectory persisted, culminating in his attainment of the distinguished title of Supreme Commander within the New Republic.
Conversely, in the Canon realm, details regarding Lando’s post-Original Trilogy military involvement remain sparse, with no explicit depiction of any formal rank.
