‘Star Wars’ prompts fan backlash for removing ‘Slave-1’ ship name
Fox News
“Star Wars” fans are outraged — again — over a decision to remove the “Slave-1” name from one of their iconic space cruisers. Disney has quietly dropped the moniker — which some fans consider canon to the franchise — from the ship that belongs to intergalactic bounty hunter Boba Fett.
The change came to light with LEGO’s latest "Star Wars" build, a 478-piece set to create Boba Fett’s "Starship," as it’s now dubbed. "We’re not calling it ‘Slave I’ anymore," said LEGO "Star Wars" lead designer Michael Lee Stockwell, Jedi News reported. "Everybody is [dropping the name]," he added, apparently referring to Disney studios.
