@Virgil where would you place Solo on a scale of 1-10 ( conveniently there is 10 films to compare )
My revised list....
ESB
ROTJ
ANH ( ROTJ has recently usurped it, superb film, ewoks can't quite change that )
ROTS
R1
AOTC
TFA
TPM
Solo ( there are some cool lines and the train heist and Kessel scenes are great viewing )
TFASlots in behind the OT and R1, ahead of the new trilogy, with the prequels bringing up the rear.

I musta missed something, I didnt get that Lando was shagging a robot?? It was late when I was watching it, s maybe I missed the innuendo
Nah it was nothing in my eyes. A real stretch to say he was pansexual(?), was it the actor that said that because if it was never said I'd never have suspected

My understanding is that the robot suggested that they were rooting. The innuendo was there at least.

Your understanding?
Maybe watch first, throw comments later?The droid was commenting on relationships and, as part of the droid character having problems accepting that it wasn't actually human, inferred a crush on Lando and a belief the feeling was mutual. The comment thrown back was 'is that even possible?' to which the reply was 'oh yes'.
I would never have taken it as sexual innuendo if others hadn't bleated on about it and drawn out the pansexual comment about Lando. To me it was about having a strong (read loving) relationship between a droid and human.
The other thing to realise is that once this droid 'dies' its IP and personality is absorbed into the Falcon which is part of the backstory as to why Lando feels so strongly about the ship and how Han and Chewie were able to outrun/outsmart the Empire for so long.
I thought it was an interesting addition to the SW universe.
But hey, if you want to make it about gender politics to prove your point about why you don't like a movie you haven't seen then feel free. -
While we are doing lists, here's mine
ANHStar Wars (the awesome original that started everything)
ROTJ (more in the spirit of SW as a matinee bit of fun)
ESB (As a standalone it isn't that great, but easily the best 'piece' of story)
TPM (yep, as part of the saga it is shite and can be left out altogether as per the machete order. But as a standalone movie for entertainment it has some excellent set pieces)
TFA (modern copy of ANH and if watched by itself is an OK movie with some brilliant scenes such as the MF dogfight and the X-Wings coming in to battle)
Solo (I enjoyed it and it added some new stuff as well as explaining some old. Again, saved by some excellent set pieces)
R1 (an OK movie by itself but not one to rewatch too much. Too disjointed)
ROTS (leaves a bad feeling and suffers from more awful acting/dialogue but has some moments)
AOTC (almost unwatchable) -

You should watch it, I expect you would change your mind. She is Lando's Chewbacca. They care for each other like any partnership. The sexual relationship banter was simply that. His reaction when she got shot up was no different to the way Luke felt when R2 got into scrapes

In a SW film. Thanks for clarifying it. But hey if you think that's appropriate in a SW film give yourself an upper cut.

The scene in the falcon cockpit with the mother of dragons was implying some sort of sexual activity.
Looking at Her reaction, it looked like the droid actor ab libbing. It should have just left out of the film, it wasn’t necessary for a kids film. And wouldn’t have effected how Lando felt about the droid in the story.

So you read into that the 'possibility' of a sexual relationship and I'm the one that needs an uppercut?
A therapist would have fun examining that thought process.
A machine with no sexual organs MUST be having a sexual relationship with a humanoid because it has human tendencies of strong feelings resulting in a 'crush'?OK

The droid says something like oh yeah we've thought about having a relationship, when Lando gives no hint. In fact he kind of rolls his eyes when she says shit. Dragon mum says oh, how does that work? Droid says it can work after comedic pregnant pause and Dragon mum gives her the sideways look. The droid reminded me of the kind of character Queen Latifa used to play. If that is enough to trigger you then it is what it is

Yeah sure Crucial. The guy who thinks the idea of a droid and human in a romantic relationship is weird is the one who needs a therapist. And if you reckon that scene did not imply a sexual relationship you're a bigger idiot than I thought you were. Ffs the guy who wrote the scene has confirmed it.
Just saw the scene. You think that belonged in a SW film? Put aside your insane devotion to your side and give me an honest answer.

Thin skinned? Wtf? I think something is weird and inappropriate for a SW film and I'm thinned skinned? But sure, if humans fucking robots is your thing I'm not going to judge. I'd just prefer SW steers clear of that shit.

Here is a quick clip which shows what the droid is like. Just like the Simpsons appeals on a number of levels depending on your age and experience, kids wouldn't pick up anything other than the cranky robot talking. Sorry bit I can't find the major clip in question

After all we had a bit of sibling snogging in the OT and that hardly caused every teenage kid that saw it to rush into their brother's/sister's bedroom did it?
