Per LEGO, Disney is dropping the name "Slave 1".

Cancel Culture strikes again.

Before we know it, "euphemisms" / "vulgar" words used to describe female and male anatomy (i.e. breasts, reproductive organs, etc.) too will be verboten and outlawed as cancel culture runs rampant.

When Gideon destroyed the Razor Crest I remember Fennec telling Fett "you better get to your ship." Can't remember how it was referred to after that.

In the first episode of Fett's new show a young Rose Tico is going to crash into the Slave 1 as Fett tries to take off. She immediately hops out of her ship after the crash, quickly douses the Slave 1 in gasoline, throws on a lit match and curses at Fett for hurtful language while fleeing the scene.

Reparations 1

The Book of Boba Fett is actually about a reformed Fett completing his 12 steps by making amends with the people, aliens, and descendants of those he has wronged over the years.

Pathetic.

I'm sitting here scratching my head wondering how a ship's name can be so offensive that it needs to be erased...
I mean, if Slave I is offensive (being the ship of a villain), why do we have Inquisitors? Is that not offensive to the memory of all the non-catholics (and unrepentant catholics) who were tortured and murdered by the Inquisition?
It's just so amazingly idiotic...

This is temporary. Slave 1 will be back.

The cowardice of corporations never ceases to amaze.

I wonder what Disney would do with Harley Quinn if they had DC?

Should the Empire be called the Empire anymore? Empires have done bad things in real life including enslaving people.

Suggestions for the new title of Empire Strikes Back please, starting now....

Hopefully it's nothing more than a merchandise packaging thing and it is still known as Slave 1 in-universe. Kind of how in Cap: The First Avenger they called HYDRA the "Nazi's Deep Science division" in the film's dialogue but were able to avoid the N-word on all the toys.

Hell there's even a Kenner precedent with them not mentioning "The Executor" by name on the toys:

You will never find a more wretched hive of prisoners with free will and courteous baddies.

Its just like LOTR all over again. The character "Hagsuck" got cut because of her name.

People get worked up about the dumbest **** these days, I swear society is regressing sometimes.

No better example than the reactions in this thread.

Surprisingly Disney allowed Lego to keep Cara Dune in the light cruiser set.

Don't worry, they'll be coming for your oppressive white male Green Goblin soon enough.

I guess Death Squad Commander made a comeback, so anything's possible.

I wouldn't be surprised if Slave I was one of the many SW names that have never been uttered on-screen.

Ever heard of a slippery slope?

 

[The Green Goblin]

Ever heard of a slippery slope?

Yeah, this thread is full of that type of fallacy.

"Oh no, they changed the name of the Star Wars ship that never had its name uttered in film & television! This must mean they'll go after The Green Goblin character next!"



This thread is something else...
