Honestly, no, this should not be pushed into the films. I’m sorry, but not once did I think ANYTHING of Lando being anything other than straight. Heck, even C-3PO I assumed was asexual due to his being a droid. The only character I might have even slightly suspected as being LGBT was Ziro the Hutt in that Clone Wars movie (and quite frankly, I wasn’t fond of that bit), and even there, later episodes of the series established that he was straight, or at the very least bisexual due to him being killed by a female he fell for.
There was absolutely nothing suggesting Lando was anything other than heterosexual. I don’t like these changing of characters to push filth. This has got to stop. Then again, Kasadan alongside Spielberg and Lucas had actually seriously considered making Indiana Jones into a pedophile during the development of Raiders of the Lost Ark, so maybe this shouldn’t surprise me at all.
Yes. And for whatever reason would ANYONE think otherwise?
Because it had nothing to do with the STORY.
I'm more of a Star Trek fan myself, but I saw the latest movie.
Sulu is now a gay man.
Yes, I know that George Takei is gay himself, but even for HIM that was a bridge too far.
He even noted that the *character* was NOT gay.
When I saw the last movie, Sulu had a picture of his daughter on his helmsman's console.
How cute, I thought.
When they landed at the Starbase, he meets up with another Asian man.
I'm naive about these things, but I honestly thought he was meeting his brother.
It never occurred to me that ST was trying ever so hard to insert a gay theme.
Only later did I find out that it wasn't his "brother", but his partner.
I don't "get" the obsession with HAVING to make things gay.
It added NOTHING to the story at all, just being gratuitous.
