Keep in mind there are people who were born after 1990 and are unaware of how people talked in the 1970's and 1980's. So its not a suprise they would jump to that conclusion. Though since Lando is a very 1970's (Empire was filmed in 1979) style character having him be pansexual kind of fits. As during that time period a lot of people drank, did drugs, and humped just about anything.
Pansexual Simply means you can have romantic inclinations towards just about anything. Even your Droid co-pilot.
Honestly I’d be shocked if Lando wasn’t pansexual. He seems like he could charm women, men, droids, and non-binary beings of all species. He oozes charm and sex with every character he interacts with. I’m not sure why anyone could have even be bothered by it, except for plain old homophobia. I’m pansexual for lack of a better label, in fact I find labeling or limiting sexuality to be odd. Why would anyone willingly submit to cutting off relationships with entire genders? Even if you mostly prefer one gender over the others, why ignore the possibility of someone else coming along?
And a man’s man, a droid’s man, non-binary’s man, agender being’s man. There’s a whole galaxy just dying to meet the one and only Lando.
Because some people are fine with that, just like you are fine with being pansexual (for lack of a better label). I would hope you wouldn't label something like homosexuality as "odd".
The movie has not even come out yet so we don't know HOW the writing treats the characters involved and everyone's having conniptions over pure speculation. Can't imagine why... The writer in a side interview told us how "he's pansexual". Anybody see a clip of anything definitive backing that? Or just a momentary blip of melodramatic plop of "Everything you heard is true", which is a semi-callback to Han being oh-so-awestruck to Rey about the Jedi and The Force and may have been taken out of context? Or the bit about "baby", which could just as easily be taken out of context. Remember "The Force Awakens" when Poe and Finn were being staged as a gay couple via perceived action as opposed to someone having to say it, which might be the arguably better way to go but then one misses out on all the prerelease hubbub? "The Last Jedi" pretty much reverses what audiences were leading themselves to believe. Why might it be different now? So what if Kasdan's son (what's the target audience's beliefs on nepotism?) is "trolling the audience", noting all the publicity articles have pointed out the elder Kasdan has been rather quiet on the issue? At this juncture, these questions couldn't even be answered by a computer which wouldn't be programmed to give any worthwhile responses about it to begin with.
Most people are somewhere between the Kinsey scale's values of 1 and 5, with those closer to the edges more likely to disregard anything regarding who's on the side of the scale most opposite to their own. 0-6 is the complete range, BTW. Their scale was superseded by a newer grid-based system to more reflectively encompass all types and mindsets as well (e.g. recreational vs plopping out the babies and there's nothing wrong with either to a reasonable extent.)
I bet you can watch Solo and not even realize that Lando is pansexual just like you can watch The Last Jedi and not know that Admiral Holdo iis a lesbian.
It had nothing to do with calling Han baby. Jesus Christ. “Fans” make me want to drink. Spoiler: Lando heavily implied that Lando fucks his droid
For the most part people just assume that everyone is straight and cis unless told otherwise. It will be a great day when that is no longer just assumed as a given.
