No, the Lando issue is retroactive and worth discussing. General inclusion of new characters of varying races is entirely immaterial to the story and when the complaints come from predominantly white male fans it sounds even more petty, but you know all about that.

I'm not saying inclusion is pandering
when I see a movie like the Dark tower for example. I could care less that he was played by a black actor. it was not relevant to the story and it was not obvious pandering
There is a difference between inclusion, and going out of the way to make a statement about something that does not need to be made for the story purposes
It's when the audience is hit over the head with something that has no bearing on the story is when I consider it pandering
My point being, that I could buy Lando's "pansexual" nature as it can help establish his character and could fit within his mythos. Since I haven't seen the movie yet I am not sure wwhihc way they have gone with it
So you can get off your high horse

True story......I came home tonight from working late,.....my birthday is tomorrow (well now it's today),....I opened a card & I got 2 £10 vouchers for the Odeon Cinema
My Son said,...we can use that to see Deadpool,....My daughter said "& you can use the other card to see the Han Solo film"
I asked them if they wanted to come with me to see the Solo film.....My daughter said,....Star Wars isn't good anymore, no one likes it
My son said he was going to wait till it comes out on BD
My son is 18 & my daughter is 11
Looks like I'm going Solo

Mine, too! And she has exactly the same attitude towards SOLO, interestingly enough. :unsure
Unlike you though, I'm making her go with me. I sat through the LEGO Batman movie with her so that has to be worth something. :lol

To clarify that because a couple people cannot read apparently. I said don't change existing characters. If you want to make lgbtq characters, make them from the ground up as new characters. Unless it's completely relevant to the story, there's zero need in SW to tell what everyone's sexual orientation is other than to score PC brownie points. I don't care. For some to start people calling people bigots, then you need to learn to read before you type.

My father in law lives up in show low, might go up that way around labor day.
Rose was not cast because she was Asian just to be inclusive of Asian audiences. She was cast because she was the right person for the role as things should be
“I wanted someone who 10-year-old me would truly be able to relate to, someone who was a genuine nerd, someone who it would be a little surprising that they were front and forward in a ‘Star Wars’ movie – because that’s how I would feel if I was stuck in the middle of a ‘Star Wars’ adventure,” Johnson laughed. “Like, ‘What am I doing here?’”
Finding his Rose, the most important new addition to the cast, was a laborious search for the best actress for the role. Once Johnson cast Vietnamese American San Diego native Tran as Rose, the search to cast the pivotal role of her sister Paige led him to Vietnamese actress and singer Ngo.
“I was not looking for a specific ethnicity,” said Johnson, who auditioned Caucasian actresses as well as women of color for the part. “We saw a lot of talented actresses of a very broad range — but honestly, it was more about finding Kelly. There was something about Kelly that had that kind of genuine oddball nature and a real sweetness to her. She has the most open heart of anyone I’ve ever met and I knew that was going to shine through onscreen. I knew that I was going to be rooting for her in the movie.”
When I first saw this years ago when my kids had the Kinect, I'll be honest, it hurt me a lot on the inside. I think at the time this was my second biggest disappointment with Star Wars behind The Phantom Menace............

Not bad. Hasbros blows, as usual, but that's not bad. Just wish the humans were better to scale.
You know, I always did think of Lando as the Kirk of the Star Wars movies. Always got a gorgeous green babe under each arm. Doesn't matter the species.
That's because it was hetero incest.
Yeaaaah, no. Sorry, but not every gay man is secretly hitting on the guy next to them. They're perfectly capable of holding a conversation without "undressing you with their eyes". We straight men don't hit on any woman we come across, at least most of us don't. It's not any different.
Now there's a topic worthy of our discussion.
Would love to be, but a recent rainstorm made everything soggy.Everyone have a drink around the campfire tonight and chillax.
