TheStar Warsfranchise has always been rather neuter . There ’s romance , in spades , but very few moments of it have been of a intimate cancel . Even Leia and Han , which is probably the ruttish fundamental interaction of theStar Warssaga , never progress beyond lip - locking . Lando Calrissian , though , has always been an exception .

The Huffington PostaskedSolo : A Star Wars Storyco - writer Jonathan Kasdan directly about Lando ’s sexuality . ThroughoutSolo , Lando apparently flirts with everyone : women , human being and even droids . There are hints of some amatory account betweenhis new droid L3and himself . The comb-out of Han can also be see as flirting . Kasdan did n’t mince Book , reveal all of that was very intentional . Kasadan said that believe Lando is pansexual . The writer went on to elaborate , saying :

There ’s a fluidness to Donald and Billy Dee ’s [ delineation of Lando ’s ] sexuality . I mean , I would have loved to have get a more explicitly LGBT character into this movie . I think it ’s time , certainly , for that , and I love the fluidness ― sort of the spectrum of sex that Donald appeals to and that droids are a part of . He does n’t make any hard and riotous rule . I think it ’s fun .

While some fans might rebel at the idea of Lando being pansexual , especially since he very aggressively pursued Leia inEmpire Strikes Back , the " reveal " does fit his character . Lando is a very free and receptive figure . The world ofStar Warshas so many aliens and creatures that defy normal sex conventions . ( There ’s nothing that suggest droids are one gender or another , besides their voices . ) Naturally a character as free rolling as Lando would be undefended to nearly any kind of romantic encounter .

Plus , if anyone is going to substantiate something about Lando ’s personal life , Kasdan is a very salutary somebody to do it . Kasdan did n’t just co - writeSolo : A Star Wars Story . He ’s also the son of Lawrence Kasdan who wroteEmpire Strikes BackandReturn of the Jedi . Lawrence Kasdan was an entire part in creating the character of Lando . Lawrence Kasdan was also the other co - writer ofSolo : A Star Wars Story . If there are any lines of dialogue in the moving-picture show that suggest Lando might be down for anything , they ’re directly from Lawrence or Jonathan Kasdan , both of whom should have a very good apprehension of the character .

Whether more ofLando ’s sexuality makes it into his own describe spinoff , or even anotherSolomovie , remains to be check . But , it belike wo n’t happen . It ’ll just stay as an unspoken part of the character , maybe being referenced in one of the new expand Universe novels or comics . Yet for anyone look for pansexual representation in a wandflower far , far aside , Lando Calrissian has catch them deal inSolo : A Star Wars Story .
