The guidelines seem to just be avoiding calling it that if there isn’t a specific reason too. I’ve got a friend named Osama; it’s the same deal. I also live in The Dominion of Canada.
I think for the Lego set it's more that the average casual fan is more likely to recognise the name 'Boba Fett' than the name 'Slave 1'. They're a commercial enterprise and they want to sell these things to a wide audience, and marketing it under a name that was never mentioned on-screen in the movies wouldn't exactly make that easier.
He breaths heavily normally, the following line could be “What, what is a ‘laser’? What do you mean it’s like a lightsaber but it doesn’t really work like a sword and it just keeps going. You can only see the middle of it if it’s going through smoke or fog or something? Well the fucks the point of that? AND THE ONES YOU CAN SEE AT ALL DON’T CUT SHIT? WELL YOU KNOW WHAT THAT’S HORSESHIT.” Yet, heavy breathing would still be an appropriate caption.
LOL. While overall I'm a big fan of "More Star Wars, Please," I do sort of roll my eyes at the fixation on stories that are prequel to something and then end up bending over backwards to juuuust barely maintain continuity but require the audience to recontextualize conversations in ways that send our characters off on bizarre psychological and logistical tangents.
Leia sort of gets the worst of this:

Ep3 turning the "real mother" conversation on Endor into a Simone Biles level of mental gymnastics: "Well, the memories must have been imprinted on me by the Force as an infant before Padme immediately peaced out, and I know you're a 99% trained Jedi and were in the room with me, but I'm the only one who remembers (because girls?), or maybe there was just some other bitch on Alderaan that they told me was my real mom... so anyway, she was very kind."
Rogue One turning the cheeky "We all know I'm a sympathizer but I'm also a Senator and leveraging that last bit of leverage before the Emperor dissolves the Senate in a later scene" and dialing the delusion up to eleven, with Vader thinking something like, "You motherfuckers, I JUST saw this ship leave a massive space battle two hours ago. I was literally striking a pose as you left."
Personally, I like the bit about Rogue One. Because Leia Organa is definitely the kind of person who would tell a bald-faced lie to a six-foot-tall cyborg known for killing innocent people on a whim if just to buy her insane, last-ditch, Hail Mary plan of giving top secret data to an R2 unit and sending it after a person she hasn’t seen in over ten years who might be hiding who-knows-where on a desert planet a few more seconds.
There are a lot of problems with Disney Canon, Rogue One is not one of them.
