Legends doesn’t count for shit. There’s nothing in the films that contradicts this development. So why is it an issue?
(Hint: it’s not)
As I said, it’s an issue for me because the media is crazy over it and it’s filling up my news feed. It’s just compounded by the fact that no previous canon suggested such a development. Sure, it doesn’t contradict it, but it also doesn’t imply it. Whether he is or not is not the issue really, but rather the pandering and following media craziness.
Who the fuck cares if no previous books or comics suggested it. They threw all that stuff out years ago.
The media craziness is to be expected. You see media craziness for literally everything involving SW. I’d wager I’ve seen less “Lando is Pansexual” headlines than “New Character Therm Scissorpunch has Best Star Wars Name Ever” headlines.
The “pandering” complaint is stupid at this point. None of us know how it is integrated into the film. It’s impossible to legitimately complain that it is “pandering” at this point. You can speculate that it is, but you can’t complain.
Which is why I’m bitching about it in here rather than debating the significance of it in the General forum. For myself, my opinion is who cares whether he is or not?
You seem to.
All that matters to me, is that it makes sense for Lando to be pansexual given how he acts in the other movies.
He repeatedly hits on Leia. And… that’s about it. He’s a player. In the early 80’s, that was a thing.
What about that precludes him from being pansexual?
