Billy Dee Williams certainly didn’t play the character like he’d bang anything that moves. Doesn’t mean that’s not who the character is today, but making him pansexual seems a bit convenient given current discussions around gender and sexuality.
I don’t care either way because I think most of the new stuff isn’t worth watching regardless. There’s too much genuinely good sci-fi/fantasy out there now to focus my energies on a franchise that wrecked its main characters and replaced them with cardboard. I have to dig through Star Wars now to find the good parts, which just isn’t the relationship I want to have with my entertainment.
I’d like to see a debate between Billy Dee Williams and Donald Glover over whether Lando is pansexual or not. Have them both crack open an ice-cold Colt 45 and go back and forth a bit.
