It’s actually not Lando’s sexuality that bugs me, that was barely even addressed in the film. It’s his mere friendship with a droid that didn’t ring true.

Remember in Empire he was as dismissive of Threepio as Han.

You could argue Lobot was part droid but he was Lando’s “aide”, not his “offsider”.

Thanks!

I guess what I'm on about is consistency in the characters, which is what the whole debate is about anyway, sexuality or not.

He was dismissive of everyone -- he took then all to death-dinner.

Lol @ her calling Kylo ‘space Omen’

She said l337 was ‘a walking depiction of everything bad with feminism and makes feminism look bad’

She also said it seemed like the jokes were at Lando’s expense and he didn’t come off as cool as he was before.

No one who’s seen it here has mentioned either thing so far however

That's a really good point that I probably wouldn't have noticed for months. No one I know of has pointed that out yet. Droids are generally not liked because they take a lot of the jobs. That's how I always interpreted it anyways.

It's not really feminism, it's droidism. She does happen to be female though. And I did say it was forced.

And I didn't think Lando was any less cool, just too caring about others (especially the droid!)

Well we have 3 more films to watch him become more self centered

X-Men is a good example of how a political message can serve the story.

Anyways. Grace really gushes over Alden's Solo. But Jared Leto is also her favorite Joker.

She says there was some #MeToo messaging involving R2-ME2 (L3-37) and Pando and also Q'ira and

Spoiler

Darth Maul.

She points out the inconsistencies in Han's character as depicted in TFA. In Solo, he's depicted as a good guy but in TFA its established that he had abandoned his wife and son and good guys don't do that.

She also says Lando gets the Finn treatment. Another token black joke character.

True.

Oh yeah. She also says the movie undercuts the authenticity of the Han-Liea relarionship with Q'ira being a carbon copy of Liea.

She is full of rubbish, so people cannot possibly change or make terrible decisions over a 40 year period. Not to mention if they are reacting to tragedy in their life like losing a child?

As for Lando, he has no more jokes made at his expense than Han does. She is just lazily trying to make an issue out of nothing.

All of this. I'm 41, when I was 21 I was a drug dealing POS whose only goal was to keep enough money for myself and my drug habit. At 41, I'm a licensed Art Teacher whose goal is to promote the arts and children's confidence they gain when problem solving creating projects. Point is people change, situations and tragedy can inform who people become. Han and Leia had a child who showed tremendous gifts with the Force but also a dark side. They sent him to train to be a Jedi under his uncle Luke. Ben became a monster and destroyed everything they were trying to rebuild.

Han and Leia both reacted to tragedy by going their separate paths, one buried herself in forming a Resistance against the growing First Order and Han retreated to smuggling. I know some hate this change but given the context of the situation who are we to judge? They both dealt with tragedy and their relationship didn't survive, nor could anything be done about their son who basically disappeared to join Snoke, become Kylo Ren and become the driving force to spread a new evil across the galaxy.

To end my rant, Grace uses and creates controversy where their shouldn't even be any to promote herself and get hits on her YouTube channel. She doesn't understand character development, nor does she attempt to even back up her claims. I truly cannot stand her but she is smart enough to know Star Wars is a hot button issue so she will have her dumb opinions shared and get hits because people love to argue.

Ending my Star Wars rant for today. I truly hope most of you enjoy it as much as I did. Don't expect to be moved or to see something important. Solo is a fun fantasy western. Key word: fun.
