Lando being interested in the droid is the answer to your question. But even that is questionable as to how obvious that implication is or whether or not people would interpret it as such. I saw the droid as a joke, and probably from the first directors of the film before they changed to Howard. Lord and Miller do jokes such as that.
Well first off the Droid had a female voice and personality. Secondly I agree with you it seemed to be all tongue in cheek. Heck the whole premise is weird creatures from all over the galaxy! One has to really stretch to come up with a “gay” storyline there.
I watched it with no agenda as pure shoot em up silly fun. Heck I’m 52 years old sitting in a theater with 3d glasses in how serious should I be about the movie haha
Well the droid was feminine. In fact, until the credits rolled I thought it was a mocap/voice outing for Gwendoline Christie.
The FEMALE VOICED droid?
