Disney yet again with the woke identity politics crap. \nAsking Lego to change the name SLAVE 1 to Boba Fett ship.. STOP changing stuff, It will always be slave 1 and it has never offended anyone. \nhttps://www.slashgear.com/new-lego-boba-fetts-starship-gets-mandalorian-and-drops-the-old-name-26680031/\u00a0\u2026\n\n@DDay_Cobra @TheQuartering @Drunk3P0 @thatstarwarsgrl

Say a 4 year old kid wants this Lego set and their parent has no idea of Star Wars or has only seen the movies and Mando, what\u2019s gonna be easier to say \u201cBoba Fett\u2019s starship\u201d or \u201cSlave 1\u201d (which it wasn\u2019t even called in the movie\u201d. That\u2019s legit the only reason

No, because he's fighting for the word "slave" and we all know it.

if it's called Slave 1 then why does Han Solo say "I recognize that, it's called Boba Fett's Ship" in Empire Strikes back?

It shocks me that this is the hill you chose to fight and die on. You're triggered over LEGO not using the word "slave"on their toy packaging?! You do realize that LEGO uses different names for all their Star Wars collections. Good luck every working on another Disney project.

I\u2019m pretty sure Boba Fett\u2019s ship is referred to as \u201cSlave 1\u201d zero times onscreen. Grown ass people really be throwing tantrums because a label on a toy box is changing.

People seriously have their panties in a twist over Boba Fett\u2019s ship losing the \u201cSlave 1\u201d name?!pic.twitter.com/cvz7nnpYBj

The ship's name is slave 1.\nIt is boba fett's starship. \nBoth things are true.\n\nGo outside and touch some grass.https://twitter.com/BobaFettANHSE/status/1409541125405167619\u00a0\u2026
