Was always kind of weird they called it that in the first place, but if you're changing the names of the ship because it says slave then I guess Anakin's mum, Princess Leia, and the millions of slaves in the Star Wars universe will be retconned into indentured servants or minimum-wage workers.

So fucking absurd.
Nu-disney is the worst.
I miss 90's disney. So goddamn good they're still trying to milk it with live action remakes of dubious quality.

Let’s just pretend that slaves haven’t existed since the dawn of mankind. Someone needs to let the Israelites know they weren’t slaves in Egypt, just extended houseguests.

Jets have a slave function/mode, so does lots of equipment.......I presumed it was always something like that, because slave as in a slave, didn't make any sense

“Aww, it’s so...average,” she said to him in a cold brick of passion
The only surprising part of this is that it took this long to be honest.

There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
It's because Boba Fett used to be a bad guy who became popular among edge lords and later got retconned for marketing purposes.
Some closet Nazi's still root for the Empire and all that shit.
It's the problem with Disney trying to keep Start Wars alive instead of creating something new. They will slowly have to rewrite the original trilogy, and yeah the Princess Leia scenes as a sex slave will be next.

They killed off “Slave” Leila years ago. Now it’s Leia as Jabba’s Prisoner.

He's a goddamn villain in a fucked up galaxy with an evil empire that blows up entire planets as it pleases.

Why are people upset by this as if Disney didn't already fuck up Star Wars over 5 years ago? Or hell, Boba's appearance in their Power Rangers-looking show.

Why would a guy who acts as a slaver part time possibly have a ship called "Slave I"? I just can't puzzle it. Fucking thinker.
Why would you be against renaming the Death Star to "Vader's Laser Ball"? Do you want people to die?

It does for the 20 people in the world whose outlook on life will do a 180 based on a Star Wars space ship.
Their lives are a a total mess right now, but if they notice Boba Fetts oppressive ship is changed to something else, they will do so much better in life going forward.

They should just call it "fuck cis-hets" and call it a day. That's the only thing that might please the Twitter tots.

But that's offensive to women.

Performance outrage YouTubers right now:
You really hate those grifters, don't you? The thing is, without an audience, they wouldn't exist, it's obvious that Disney and the rest are just producing garbage and damaging their IPs, so that's an outlet they have.

Wonder if they will come for Blakes 7 next. The creepy computer in the Scorpio was called Slave.

Disney there… inextricably linking the word slave to black people. Sounds a bit racist to me.

Well to be fair slave companies weren't actually advertising their activity on the hull of their ships, historical ones were called "Antelope", "Esmeralda" or "Concord", not "Slaves'R Us".
Not that I find anything wrong with the way Boba Fett named his ship, and even if he could have found a fancier one there's no reason to change it now.

- i'll never turn to the contrast side. i am a Jedi, like my non birthing parent before me.
- I'm just a simple non binary offspring trying to make thems way through the universe.
- you were my sibling Anakin.

The next step is renaming the franchise "Star Conflicts", because the word "Wars" is very offensive, loaded and triggering to vulnerable communities.
