Disagree completely. Nothing will ever ruin the originals, and the other trilogies are good in their own ways. The most disappointing thing is Finn and Rose not getting more screen time, but still they made the sequels that much better.
Um… I’m still trying to figure out how and why anyone thinks they should’ve gotten more screen time. The time they did get was crap she’s a horrible character and the acting felt so forced. He was horrible and had no real point in the film also over the top acting. They didn’t need more screen time if anything they weren’t even needed in the story. Rey wasn’t even needed the whole thing was one giant crap hole. Not one bit of it was worth the time or money put into it.
That relationship was as BS as this name change business. Finn should have become a Jedi, but instead had his whole character arc blown up by the same kind of thinking that allows Disney to change the name of Boba’s ship. That trilogy is crap, and even JJ Abrams agrees.
It’s Slave I until the world ends. Kathleen, you and Mouse Crotch already ruined the SW Universe enough. Just leave it alone already and bring George and Lawrence (Kasdan) back to write. Better yet, let Dave and Jon continue to do what we want. Move forward in a customary and idealic fashion.
All of you Imperialist,
Hate filled Bantha fodder little piggy boys need to wrap a chain around your neck and do the galaxy a favour… because if I ever meet up with you I will definitely shoot first…..
Slave 1 is the name of the ship. Firespray is the model type. This is nothing new to the Star wars universe. They’re just choosing to call it by the type of ship it is not by its owners chosen name.
Corporations want to erase the word slave and it’s meaning from the common man’s lexicon. When no one knows the word, no one can realize it describes them.
They better come up with a better name than it’s model name. I understand Boba is undergoing some priority changes, so he should at least rename his ship based on how he reinvents himself. Something like Badger 1.
Ok ok I get it I really do and as a black man I understand the implications but as a regular ol starwars fan I love my slave 1 ships and even tho there staying true to the class the original is what I will continue to call it
I think hydraulic engineering and design beat hard drives by a bit. As in master cylinder and slave cylinder, a traditional example being a clutch system in a car or motorcycle
It was, is, and always be Slave 1. Disney already shat all over the Star Wars franchise, so why wouldn’t they take a dump on the name of Boba Fett’s ships, too?
Slave One has nothing to do with Earth’s Institution of Slavery or African enslavement in any way. Its either stupid or an act of cynicism and pure ideological demagoguery to brew a controversy out of the name of a Sci Fi vessel which is in fact the ship of the Galaxy’s Underworld prime bounty hunter mercenary assassin and transporter of high value human and non human cargo. If Slave One is so offensive then stop making films and series about pirates, Mafia, bank robbers, etc.
This is woke bs, everyone wants to be offended by everything. YOU CAN NOT ERASE over 35 years of star wars history just because some one is offended. I and every other star wars fan will continue to call it SLAVE 1.
Why not go even more “PC” and call it the “Cute Little Fuzzy Bunny Slipper Ship of Love”? Or maybe the “Boo Boo Kitty Ark”? I still fondly remember my parents taking me to the original Star Wars premier long ago in a galaxy far, far away and now, ever since Disney, “Ruin” Johnson, and Kathleen Kennedy not only set their sites on destroying it as well as the firing of Gina Carano and now this woke crap…I’m done with it!
Corporations want to erase the word slave and it’s meaning from the common man’s lexicon. When no one knows the word, no one can realize it describes them.
Disney is going creatively bankrupt. They couldn’t just destroy his vintage starship in the upcoming Boba Fett series on Disney+, like the Razorcrest. They go straight princess mode and take away their possession without consideration for fans, and toymakers, and change horses mid stream. (Big no , no). Destroy the ship, hook Fett up with a newer, cooler ship, everyone understands and moves on, but nah..
It’s a firespray with a slave circuit. That’s how it got its name nothing to do with slavery.. I get by not using the name on Lego is a way to cause attention in the media but just like the Falcon being called a YT1300 on Lego this is not news move on. If Starwars.com changes it then it might be news but they won’t.. it’s just media looking to find a story…
Its the Slave 1. Leias outfit at Jabba’s palace was a slave girl outfit. The sjw trash low iqd dweebs who get offended by this need not be part of the fandom. By merch sales these low iqd trash humans don’t buy any of the collectibles or books anyway. F em. SLAVE 1 FOREVER!
I think it’s just because sometimes people get the wrong connotation with the word ‘slave’. The ship is still the Slave I and will always be, but someone who doesn’t exactly know Star Wars may get the wrong impression. Or it could be for marketing purposes too, just minor censorship because it could receive to many negative connotations.

WhatEVER they pretend is the reason for the change, I can PROMISE you the REAL reason is to get rid of the word, SLAVE, so as not to upset the socially sensitive.
Next are we gonna retcon Eric Cartman as a good role model? Boba Fett is a friggin villain. He actively engages in the Star Wars slave trade. He’s a bad person. Stop trying to redeem him to sell toys.
Disney still continues to prove their everlasting foolishness. Catering to Twitter nutbags is a fruitless endeavor. Regardless of what they say slavery still happened. Fett’s ship will always remain Slave 1. Lucas must be kicking himself every day for selling franchise to the soulless agenda-driven monster that is Disney
Honestly I’d like to see them rename it as “Vessel One” or “Ship One” or yeah even “Firespray One” — all names that don’t just keep the pragmatic, disposable vibe of the original (you don’t bother to name something “One” if you aren’t expecting/prepared to eventually have a “Two,” right?) but are in fact even less sentimental in their complete lack of acknowledgement as the vehicle as anything unique at all. It’s a tool, nothing more and nothing less.
That seems like a very in-character naming choice for Boba Fett. At least, the old school “this is my face” practical man that I grew up knowing as Boba Fett. Disney seems determined to turn him into something else, but I’m just telling myself that this honor-code guy with an inexplicable interest in running Jabba’s old palace is Spar or some other clone who thinks he’s Boba Fett, because the barve I know would never!
It would be nice to have his ship named something that I could actually put on a T-shirt (or vanity license plate!), though, so I’m totally in for dropping “Slave” as long as they replace it with something fittingly cold and not some sentimental osik.
Comments for ‘Star Wars’ Quietly Debuts New Name For Boba Fett’s Starship
Jay
It’s not really even Star Wars anymore, just one terrible move followed by another these days.
Slave I For Life
What a bunch of woke bs
Anon
Yeah, don’t care. Slave I is the name it’s always had before Disney even owned Star Wars
Tashtom1
I’ll still call it Slave-1. What will they call Slave Leia, Metal bikini Leia?
Aaronthebanker
I think they were suggesting Hutt slayer Leia…
Richard Moran
Boba Fett’s ship will always be Slave 1. The wokies can just keep crying
Har
What “wokies” do you think actually agree with this appart from the out of touch management at Disney?
AustynSN
Actually, that’s the exact name I’ve referred to her as for years.
Potter Dee
Carrie Fisher called it her Hutt Slayer outfit for years, which is infinitely cooler.
Dave
I’ve given up on Star Wars. The edits and changes have ruined A New Hope, and sequels were derivative 🗑
Mr. E.
Disagree completely. Nothing will ever ruin the originals, and the other trilogies are good in their own ways. The most disappointing thing is Finn and Rose not getting more screen time, but still they made the sequels that much better.

No. They are not.

It’ll always be Slave 1, no matter what woke Disney wants to call it.

“woke” people want the word slave out in the open, Big Multinational Corporations do not
Demille Brandon
Ok ok I get it I really do and as a black man I understand the implications but as a regular ol starwars fan I love my slave 1 ships and even tho there staying true to the class the original is what I will continue to call it
Joel Stevenson
The name comes from the fact that the ship is “slave-rigged” to him.
The idea came fro Hard Drives, where a mqster drive directs all operations for subordinate, or slave, drives.
Jared
I think hydraulic engineering and design beat hard drives by a bit. As in master cylinder and slave cylinder, a traditional example being a clutch system in a car or motorcycle

Why not be honest and call it Woke 1 or CRT?
Oh right, fascists can’t be honest, or they will be exposed.

It’s called the Slave 1. That’s a fact and it’s final and it won’t change.
Stop trying to erase the word slave. When no one knows the word slave, everyone will be one. The corporate agenda is real.
