I’m just sick of it being all over my feed. Like if the character is, then he is. Put it in the movie or whatever. But I wish they’d stop making these claims behind the scenes, and that the media would stop going crazygonuts about it and making articles pop up everywhere.
If they put it in the movie you’d complain about him making you uncomfortable.
Perhaps.
Given that Billy Dee’s ESB character seemed to me simply a player and a hustler, and there wasn’t any further sexual subtext about him in the film either way. Nein Nunb being his copilot in ROTJ obviously had no sexual connotation whatsoever. So adding this to Solo seems like retconning the character, especially in these times.
I mean, did it ever suggest as much in any of the Legacy novels? If not, then there’s very little precedent to add it here.
