Btw, what are you getting your panties in a bunch for Cyric? I thought the mods were against any body saying anything about black people and or any other ethic/religious/sexual preference, or any kind of group in general? I'm acting how I'm supposed to by being offended right? You should be happy

I'm curious, does anyone have info on what the packaging used to say for merchandise featuring Slave I? I'm curious what it used to be marketed as.

All BS aside, I wonder how much it will be worth now that the word "slave" is banned. Gina Carano's Star Wars figures were selling for $40-50 a pop last time I checked E-Bay.

Slavery didn't exist until the 1660s
This is false btw. Arabs were engaged in slave trading for hundreds of years prior to the trans-Atlantic slave trade, where do you think the Europeans learned it from?

But ultimately it's not the toddlers who make the purchase, and last I checked most kids don't really give a crap about political correctness

Do I have to explain marketing to you like you're 5? Why is the concept of companies market to kids to get parents to buy things for them so hard for you to understand? Did you suddenly forget your childhood?

You can't be making posts this stupid on purpose

Sith was mentioned in the early draft of the original Star Wars film. It was mentioned in the novelization of the movie though.

It was probably parked at Jabba's palace all that time since Boba had the keys on him when he fell into that sand vagina.

If you wanted to close your account there's a form for you to do so instead of trying to get moderated. You're just doing this for attention.

yeah I definitely remember having the "Slave I" lego set when I was a kid.

but again: they're probably marketing it this way because Boba Fett is a fairly well-known character, while the name of his ship is not nearly as well-known

do you think the name of the ship is more well-known than the ship's owner? or less well-known? that's what's relevant here

I know the names of spaceships like X-Wing, Tie Fighter but other than the Millennium Falcon I don't think I would know the name of any of the personal space ships without Googling. I'm not sure if any of them are even said in the movies.

X wing and tie fighter are types of ships. Like the Millennium falcon is a corellian freighter.

But apparently I don't know star wars because I understand what typical people understand, what fanatics understand, what casual understand, and what insufferables are.

Anyone who knows who Boba Fett is, knows what his ship looks like. Theyre not going to see the ship on the box, and a minifig of Boba Fett, and get confused by the name Slave 1.

Its almost definitely a sanitization for marketing purposes. But its also not a huge deal unless they start retroactively changing the name in other media.

Yeah who knows. Maybe this is building to an actual name change of the ship when Book of Boba Fett comes out.

Not like Boba Fett was ever a slave himself.

I'm a 'typical' fan who knows more than the average person and it's not something I know off the top of my head.

Again why would I or they know? I don't think Slave 1 is said in the movies at all. Unless people pay attention to merch or EU stuff why would they know? Those people aren't typical fans.

tbh they could easily just have the Slave-1 get trashed, then he gets a shiny, better, new ship that looks almost identical :P
