When it’s Bobba Fett’s Ship of course ! Apparently Disney have deleted the name Slave 1 from the Star Wars Canon and have made Lego call the new ship Bobba Fett’s ship ! biggrin

I’m glad I still have a nice sealed old Bobba Fett’s Ship that proudly says ‘Slave 1’ on the box.

Apparently some Star Sars fans are reportedly slightly annoyed by this ….

Seems a bit silly removing it because of the name, are they going to gloss over the declaration that wookies are non sentient so were enslaved en masse or perhaps they'd like to remove the cloning and enslavement of millions who with accelerated growth were in fact around 8 years of age when they were put in storm trooper armour and sent off to battle in the clone wars.

Mind you I suppose they could call the steralisation of kamino a hiccup.

Lets not get in to the murdering a room full of children for their hero.

Having said that the geeks are never happy biggrin

The saddest part of this story is that the name Slave 1 wasn’t even in the movies. If I had to guess I’d say it was probably invented by the toy company, just like the names of all the aliens in the cantina.

This really is ridiculous, it's a fictional universe where slavery is still very much an issue and Boba Fett is probably such a dodgy geezer that he'd quite happily go a grab a few aliens to be slaves for someone for the right price.

IT'S NOT BASED ON EARTH YOU SNOWFLAKE RETARDS!! FFS

We have stopped using slave and master cylinders in our clutch because it was completely unethical. We now have a cylinder collective where property, decisions and responsibilities are all jointly owned and shared. It is much better although of course the car no longer moves and I have to ride a bike.
