===Portrayal=== In 2018, ''[[The Verge]]'' noted that despite Han Solo's first name being written as "Han" and Lucas also pronouncing the name as "Han" ({{IPAc-en|h|Γ¦|n}}) off-screen, within the films most characters, including [[Luke Skywalker]], pronounce it as "Hahn" ({{IPAc-en|h|Ι:|n}}). ''The Verge'' also noted how Williams's Lando seems to be the only character to pronounce it as "Han" like Lucas, and that when, in ''The Empire Strikes Back'', Lando is choked by [[Chewbacca]] for betraying Han, Lando causes most other characters to shift to "Han". In ''[[Solo: A Star Wars Story]]'', Glover decided to deliberately use "Han" instead of "Hahn" in order to honor the character's trait.<ref>{{cite web|last=Farokhmanesh|first=Megan|date=18 April 2018|title=Solo: A Star Wars Story reminds us that no one knows how to say Han's name|url=https://www.theverge.com/2018/4/18/17252052/solo-a-star-wars-story-hans-mispronounce|website=[[The Verge]]|access-date=18 April 2018|archive-date=18 April 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180418172852/https://www.theverge.com/2018/4/18/17252052/solo-a-star-wars-story-hans-mispronounce|url-status=live}}</ref> Ahead of the release of ''Solo: A Star Wars Story'', co-writer [[Jonathan Kasdan]] suggested that Lando is [[Pansexuality|pansexual]] and stated, "There's a fluidity to [<nowiki/>[[Donald Glover]]] and Billy Dee's [portrayal of Lando's] sexuality ... I would have loved to have gotten a more explicitly [[LGBT]] character into this movie. I think it's time, certainly, for that, and I love the fluidity β sort of the spectrum of sexuality that Donald appeals to and that droids are a part of.

Maybe it means something, maybe it doesn't." When asked about Lando's pansexuality, Donald Glover stated, "How can you not be pansexual in space? There's so many things to have sex with."<ref name="fluid" /><ref name=":0" /> In recent years, Marvel [[LGBT pride]]-themed series of comic covers have featured Lando, canonizing the character's LGBT status.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|last=Johnston|first=Rich|date=March 22, 2021|title=Lando Calrissian Is Now Officially Pansexual According To LucasFilm|url=https://bleedingcool.com/comics/lando-calrissian-is-now-officially-pansexual-according-to-lucasfilm/|url-status=live|access-date=2021-03-22|website=[[Bleeding Cool]]|archive-date=23 March 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210323005447/https://bleedingcool.com/comics/lando-calrissian-is-now-officially-pansexual-according-to-lucasfilm/}}</ref>
