Solo : A Star Wars Storystar Donald Glover is totally in agreement with the revelation that his character Lando Calrissian is pansexual . Soloscreenwriter Jonathan Kasdan recently assert that he views and wroteLando as pansexual . concord to Kasdan , who wroteSolo : A Star Wars Storywith his beginner Lawrence , Lando is very sexually fluid . There ’s no one ( or nothing ) that Lando would n’t be attracted to in theStar Warsuniverse .
Unsurprisingly , the reveal sparked a variety of reactions from the great unwashed who guess it was completely out of Lando ’s character to those who felt it should be more explicitly stated in the movies . By Kasdan ’s own admission fee , Lando ’s attraction to others inSolo , include Han , is more implied than anything else . Yet Glover does n’t see an issue at all . It makes perfect sentience to him that Lando would be pansexual . The bigger surprisal , to Glover , is why every character does n’t name the same way .

In an interview withEW , Glover ( and some of the other members ofSolo ’s plaster cast ) were asked about Lando being pansexual . Whileco - stars Emilia Clarkeand Alden Ehrenreich were shocked by the newsworthiness , Glover responded with little more than a shrug . The doer explained :
How can you not be pansexual in space ? There are so many thing to have gender with . I did n’t think that was that weird . Yeah , he ’s coming on to everybody . I mean , yeah , whatever . It just did n’t seem that weird to me ‘ cause I feel like if you ’re in space it ’s kind of like , the room access is undefendable ! It ’s like , no , only hombre or missy . No , it ’s anything . This thing is literally a blob . Are you a man or a fair sex ? Like , who care ? Have a good prison term out here .
Glover ’s answer is a minute tongue - in - cheek . It was a rather off - the - cuff remark in the audience and meant to elicit laughter more than anything else , which it did from his atomic number 27 - stars . Yet the actor does make some very salient point . Star Warstakes piazza in a world with literally C of different exotic types . It seems silly for a character , specially one such as Lando , to be attracted to only one gender . True , most aliens insure in the movies have been humanoid in some way . Yet twi’leks and rodians really just rub the open of sentient life in the Star Wars universe .
There ’s also the existence of droids to conceive . Even though Lando ’s new companion inSolo , L3 - 37 is being add together as the first female droid , a droid ’s voice only suggest their sexuality . Otherwise they ’re completely indifferent and grammatical gender - less . If Lando , or any eccentric really , is attracted to a droid it ’s pretty easy to indicate they ’re pansexual .
The Book of Revelation that Lando is draw in to anyone , regardless of their sex , really is n’t as boastful tidings as it might seem . Lando not having any labels on who ( or what ) he pursues romantically is perfectly in billet with his graphic symbol . Even if he did come onrather strong to Leia , and no one else , in his movie debut duringEmpire hit Back . It would be squeamish if the movies portrayed Lando ’s sexuality more explicitly . Star Warshas always been sexless and made suitable for fans of all ages , especially youngster , but a minor romance between two characters that are n’t both heterosexual would n’t be amiss in theStar Warscanon .
With hearsay that Lucasfilm might be considering aLandostandalone motion picture to follow upSolo , possibly Lando should have a romantic plot line with someone other than a human cleaning lady . ALandomovie would be a very good choice for Disney and Lucasfilm . But Lando emerge from the brook office ofSolo : A Star Wars Storyto be the franchise ’s first obvious LGBTQ lead could be the hook the suppositional picture needs .
