THE INTER HAS STRONG OPNS AS TO WHETHER C-3PO AND R2-D2 ARE GAY
* r2d2 gay *
Two weeks ago, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, the fal stallment the space opera’s third trilogy, buted to lacklter reviews and watered down a much-anticipated queer moment: a brief and unrwhelmg gay kiss. He proved that gays are not a monolh and n, fact, show up early.
Openly gay Brish actor Anthony Daniels, who plays the droid all films, is 5-foot-9. Jt saw Star Wars and I’m FURIOUS that C3PO and R2D2 still aren’t gay.
C-3PO WAS BASED ON GEE LUS’S “GAY FRIEND”
Gee Lus a rare terview admted that the popular C-3PO character was origally based on his gay iend, Josh Templar, who helped him sign some of the Star Wars characters at the time. * r2d2 gay *
So a gay droid go through multiple midlife cris and cis to “reboot” his personaly each time only to fd that don’t temper his anxiety? If a gay guy bleach his hair... Abrams said last year that he expected gay characters to play a part the diversy of the future movi, many fans had hop he was referrg to Poe and Fn.
R2D2 IS GAY
What do you thk? Everyone assum R2D2 is a he. Is he? Lov C3Po, agast all odds/good judgement Won't betray Leia's tst Is small Is cute Is awome at munitg, even via bleepg Straight male, gay male or .. girl?... * r2d2 gay *
The speculatn that C-3PO and R2-D2 were gay is not new, as fans have bated (and joked about) that possibily on msage boards for at least a . The argument that the droids were gay rts on C-3PO’s mannerisms.
Bee he had the effete affectatns stereotypilly associated wh gay men, he mt have been gay himself. Some fans cry this as an attempt to sexualize characters a kids’ movie and further a “gay agenda.
That C-3PO uld not have any type of sexual or emotnal relatnship is sendary to our societal need to thk that jt bee he “acts gay” he mt be gay. This is bee our society still teach that there are gay ways to act and straight ways to act.
