You might be one of my favorite posters here. The comedy from you is amazing.

if yall dont know Star Wars thats fine, just say hey I dont know Star Wars. If yall are doing all this nonsense because you dont like the name then just say that.

How many spaceships do people need to know before they know Star Wars?

Son, I could trivia circles around you and I'm fully aware of the knowledge base of the average fan. It's what I get from going out and talking to people.

Most importantly, I don't belittle them for it.

If you showed a picture of the Slave 1 you can probably tell the type of fan they are by their response.

That's the Slave-1: Star Wars Nerd
That's Boba Fett's ship: Star Wars Fan
I don't know or I don't care: Normal person

And don't forget someone with a passing interest in the franchise (seen the movies once for example) might be able to identify it as a Star Wars ship, but not any further than that.

For the record, a Vintage Collection Slave 1 was just released and is called Slave 1 on the package.

It appears Lego made the change.

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
To who?

If I say Slave 1 then Star Wars nerds or fans will know what Im talking about. People who hopped on the mandalorian bandwagon wont know.

if youre looking for another answer then just say youre stuck in your ways and just want an argument and Ill move on with my time

tbh they could easily just have the Slave-1 get trashed, then he gets a shiny, better, new ship that looks almost identical :P
Another thing to prefer the old EU to then. I liked how by the end of the timeline he still had attachment to his father's ship, even if the only part that hadn't been replaced by then was the pilot's chair.

OT, You ever wonder if this is why the world is the shithole it is, good people first think this is the kind of thing that needs to be addressed over say, food for the homeless, then spend hours trying to justify it instead of again, getting food for the homeless.

This isnt correct just so you are aware.

I don't remember the word Palpatine being mentioned in the original 3 movies at all. To be clear, I'm talking about the films themselves, not the drafts or novelizations of them.

I think Mon Mothma calls him Emperor Palpatine during the Endor mission briefing.

No she didn't. I just checked.

In Episode 1 as their ship is landing the pilot says something like theres Palpatine on the bridge or his quarters or something.

And Padme definitely says the word Palpatine at some point.
Do you know what the original 3 means?

And here I was, giving Disney the benefit of the doubt just thinking it was marketing for a LEGO product. Amazing how politically correct Disney has to be for a name of a ship for a character who literally captures people for money. This terrible person apparently can't have his ship called "Slave I". He can still do terrible things, but god forbid he uses the word "slave" in his ship. It must be nice for Disney to get woke points by spewing idenity politics bullshit while still mistreating and paying their employees shit wages.

I thought it was the original VA (not the physical actor Jeremy Bulloch, but the guy who was on All in the Family), but remembered he died years ago.

I literally went down the list of actors who played him to find out who the hell he was lol. I had no idea the Special Edition had a different VA
