JoShmoe,

Can someone mansplain this to me?

BoxerDevil,

Boba fetts ship is called Slave 1

billiam0202,

Boba Fett’s ship was called Slave 1. The Mouse has decided that name is problematic.

Nouveau_Burnswick,

It still is Slave 1.

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.

billiam0202,

That makes some sense for a show, but it’s kinda ridiculous for the Lego set. It makes it conspicuous.

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.

The whole thing is a bit of a storm in a teacup.

At least now we can give Leia back her proper name when she was in Jabba’s palace.

Not as good as Boba Fett’s Spaceship Leia.
