Not sure if it has already been stated but does anyone know what the backdrop display for this figure is? Is it the detention block?

That's as good a guess as any.

For some reason I thought it might be a panoramic picture of the planet Alderaan. Maybe a prelude to Vader and Tarkin?

Some good news, so it seems Slave Leia isn't off the table.

I was at a Star wars event by the local disney representative at the mall, and there's a slave leia statue. So I guess J Scott Campbell was wrong after all.

This should surprise absolutely no one. That guy was completely full of BS. If he actually knew anything, he'd be under NDA. Not sure what prompted him to re-circulate a 2 year old rumor as if he had any first hand knowledge on the matter.

Wasn't he working on some Star Wars cover or something though?

At least there's still hope of a HT slave leia after all.

Maybe. And maybe he personally wasn't allowed to make some specific illustration/interpretation. But what he tweeted was some over-the-top insider info, the kind of thing that gets you fired, so he might be illustrating for a weekly supermarket flyer now. Then again, maybe it was completely made-up BS and he's still working on Marvel comics.

Any official move by Disney would have to be corroborated by the company to media inquiries - that has never happened.

True.

I have taken some pics of the slave leia statue. I'll upload it tomorrow as I'm not using my phone now.

I remember at one point the prefered corporate term was "Bikini Leia" so they could sidestep the word "Slave". Not such a stretch.

The image itself of Carrie Fisher half naked in her prime - I would bet it's on a short term hiatus instead of a ban while LFL pimps their Star Wars relaunch.

At some point Slave Leia will reappear. When Disney issues a restored ROTJ you can be sure it will be on the cover. Sex sells.

"Leia as Jabba's Prisoner" has always worked well.

Apart from the 'come to bed' eyes.

Yes, Wicket I'm talking to you. I told you before, I don't fancy furries!

Finally bagged exclusive today with holiday code ended up complicated Had to go on waitlist for ex then ordered regular with $20 code then transferred ex to regular order when converted as i couldnt use code on waitlist item until live was the only figure needed so worth it

I have no idea what you just said because there is no punctuation in your sentence it just goes on and on and on and sometimes it is necessary to pause a sentence for the mental beat that it provides otherwise your message can get lost in the monotonous rhythm of a run-on sentence a run-on sentence is something that you would learn in a place called a school that kids used to go to but many have stopped in favor of home-school but that's another topic and not relevant to this post so maybe you could use a period or two next time because you can't transfer a code from a regular to an exclusive without someone at Sideshow doing it for you so I don't understand your post.
