The "Slave 1"

[jake88]

What do you all think of the name change to "Boba Fetts starship"?

 

[3Dsf]

It's fine. It's fiction, and aimed at kids. The word may not have much meaning or resonance to some people, but it's a real issue for others.

It's hilarious how worked up and weirdly self-righteous some folks are in opposing their commercial decision.

 

[bigstew]

I now realise it has been a while since I have watched the original films is the ship ever named?

 

[PumpkinKing]

There was a zero percent chance they were gonna keep that name.

 

[jake88]

They could have at least renamed it "Bounty 1" or "Fetts Freighter".

Not in the film, no.

People are "worked up" because of Disney's hypocrisy. I'm sure the detainees at the concentration camp that served as a backdrop for Mulan are relieved by the name change of a fictional spaceship.

And if it's for kids then why do all the new characters have their sexual proclivities mentioned in their character bios?

 

[Sluis Van Shipyards]

Exactly if there was a reason for it beyond Disney virtue signaling and saying "Please don't go after us Twitter mob!" I might be okay with it They, like a lot of US companies, are trying to get ahead of a problem that doesn't exist. . It's just transparently fake.

Disney filmed parts of 'Mulan' in China's Xinjiang, where millions of Muslims are being spied on and locked up

Anyone looking to find true moral courage at the center of a multi-national corporation, in the 21st century, is destined to find only disappointment.

Hencforth, history will be divided by two eras: the era before “Boba Fett’s Starship” was rechristened and the era after “Boba Fett’s Starship” was rechristened.

And you, my friends…you were all there to see history, as it happened.

Remember to tell your grandchildren where you were when the world was changed by the rechristening of the name of “Boba Fett’s Starship”.

I think it's great that we're changing history and censoring anything that doesn't conform to our modern viewpoints. In fact, I think the mods should close this thread since I'm offended.

Involuntary Detainee 1

Ya Butt Be Mine1 (No, that's creepy)

I Got You Sukka 1

I'm in the money, you in my cargo hold . (Nope, too long)

Vassal 1

Odalisque 1 (Yeah you will need to google it)

 

[CessnaDriver]

So they actually spend time thinking about a fake name of a fake ship in a fantasy universe that somehow that matters? It's not like it was called "Hitler-1" or something. Maybe they should think about making better movies instead?
Fans know what it's called and that's never going to change.

Disney refuses to release anything Slave leia because of sexism

Disney changes slave 1 because.. yeah..

BUT disney says it’s ok for the first order to give a some what nazi salute to a wacky politically agenda driven general Hux.. all he was missing was the mustache

That reminds me... Remember when Hux was an important character for 2 hours in the first movie?

How do you imagine fans would react if Tarkin got a beatdown from the Emperor in ESB for failing to protect the Death Star? And then in ROTJ, he helped the rebels and was promptly murdered by Moff Jerjerrod?

Master 1?

 

[Jagjaguwar]

Was this thread really necessary?
Other than showing again that, if you let any totally unrelated thread fester long enough, we always end up back at talking about the sequel trilogy. (That’s a joke, no one needs to get defensive about that. But still…)

All of this was discussed months ago in the general Star Wars thread.

Sometimes it seems like people just enjoy wading directly into discussions that will end up getting someone banned for stupid reasons…

 

[JPH]

Why are any of you simply *assuming* that the ship *BELONGS* to anyone?!?!?

Perhaps it doesnt even identify as a...as a space ship!

Sheesh!



*NOTE: this is sarcasm*

 

[Captain Dunsel]

I think they should just call ALL ships in the “Star Wars” universe “The Vessel”.

I know it sounds so generically stupid and so wholly lacking in creativity that no one would ever seriously use that name, but…

Oh…
