When will Boba Fetts ship be renamed?

Apparently Disney say Slave I has racist connotations....

I guess it will be renamed Boba Fetts Starship.

I hadn't given it much thought tbh. Is there anything else we should be offended about?

Who's the slave in terms of the ship, the ship itself?

Durandal

Its only works on lego Toys.

This is part of the reason I think this entire thing is just silly. The ship does not (nor, in lore that we know of) ever carry any type of slave, associated with slavery of any kind, etc. - not to mention that the word actually has several definitions (one of which means to work hard). Ironically, I always thought the name was clever - and referred to Boba Fett himself, almost like vanity plates on a car.

How about Boba McBobafase?

Yea I'm guessing it's a reference to master-slave like we had on old hds, either a relation to the vehicle or pun at himself. Slavery is a thing in sw though I think, no? At least used to be xD

I agree, it should be named Squish 1.

I prefer Fetty McFettfase.

So apparently Disney is ditching Slave I in favor of "Boba Fett's Starship" on a new lego product, and confirmed they are gradually eliminating the name entirely.

I think this is incredibly lame. I really hope they don't change it in-game.

Kyno

Changes to new instances of the ship should be expected, but I doubt this will be done to any preexisting content.

Salve I....because I have a feeling, that everyone could use some Fettual healing.

Saliva I would work - but that's just spitty.

If you like that you should try some pre-chewed gum from the subway.
