Solo: A Star Wars Story star Donald Glover hasn`t been shy about his character Lando Calrissian`s `fluid` sexuality. After Solo co-writer Jonathan Kasdan told Huffington Post that Lando is `pansexual,` Glover himself elaborated to Entertainment Weekly: `How can you not be pansexual in space?` That`s great, but after watching Solo, you might have an even more specific question: Does Lando f*** droids?When you Google `pansexual,` you get this definition: `not limited in sexual choice with regard to biological sex, gender, or gender identity.` That may cover humans, but what about alien and artificial life forms?

In Solo, L3 is convinced that Lando is in love with her. At first, it seems like a delusion on the droid`s part. It`s played as a joke, and Qi`ra doesn`t seem to take the notion seriously. But later, when L3 falls in battle, Lando not only rushes back into th ...
