Can someone mansplain this to me?
Boba fetts ship is called Slave 1
Boba Fett's ship was called Slave 1. The Mouse has decided that name is problematic.
It still is Slave 1.
The guidelines seem to just be avoiding calling it that if there isn't a specific reason too. I've got a friend named Osama; it's the same deal. I also live in The Dominion of Canada.
That makes some sense for a show, but it's kinda ridiculous for the Lego set. It makes it conspicuous.
I think for the Lego set it's more that the average casual fan is more likely to recognise the name 'Boba Fett' than the name 'Slave 1'. They're a commercial enterprise and they want to sell these things to a wide audience, and marketing it under a name that was never mentioned on-screen in the movies wouldn't exactly make that easier.
The whole thing is a bit of a storm in a teacup.
At least now we can give Leia back her proper name when she was in Jabba's palace.
Yeah that's great and all. But hutt-slayer is way more badass
Not as good as Boba Fett's Spaceship Leia.
I wonder how she handles the Kessel Run
Like a champ.
