    No, I don’t. In the show, it made sense for Boba to describe the make and model of the ship to Fennec, not say the personal name he gave it. And how any of this has to do with “marketing,” whatever that means, is beyond me…

    *Regarding other thread on exact same topic

    *Psh, wussies. :)

    But yeah, this one does seem a little more...polite, or faux-polite, or whatever, All hail Garsa Fwip and/or random Pyke BarbarianLordOfDoom.

    It basically started when someone at the LEGO Group made a comment that they weren't allowed to call the ship Slave I anymore for their sets and publications. That's the spark that ignited this whole hoohah and, as is wont with the SW fandom, various factions arose for and against this supposed mandate, and since that statement the debate gets brought up every time the Slave I name is seemingly avoided.

    Whether there really is a mandate is unconfirmed, nor is any reasoning behind said mandate, which is why people are jumping to all sorts of conclusions, and why the question this thread is predicated on exists.

    Slave 1. The fact that it has been changed shows just how low we have sunk.

    Nah. It's not Shakespeare, it's a Western. So...

    The Ship With No Name.

    (Except it's called Slave 1).

    I flew across the desert in a ship with no name
    It'd feel good to be out in the rain
    In the Dune Sea you can't remember your name
    'Cause there ain't no more Tuskens for to give you no pain

    Slave 1

    Boba never had any issues with slavery before, so why should he care. Plus his dad named the ship, so I don't think Boba would rename it out of respect for his dad.

    The name Slave-1 doesn't even make sense. Boba Fett was a bounty hunter, not a slaver.

    He called it that as a statement on the pitifully low salary he was being paid.

    Perhaps he named his ship Slave 1 as a statement about how Warner Bros. controlled both his name and his music via his recording contract.

    A bounty hunter who worked for people we know 100% had slaves. I'm neither here-nor-there on the name one way or another, but let's not do this "OT Boba was above working in the slave industry" thing. There's jack-all supporting that. He worked for guys that did it, chances are he'd be one of the people assigned to hunt them down if they happened to escape.

    Boba has clearly changed since then. Have you been watching this show? I once thought Santa Claus was real and now I don’t. Have I ruined my character!!!??

    Also, the name of the ship hasn’t been changed.

    The ship was named by his father.

    Yeah, he changed to want to be a crime lord now. Crime lords in general kill, extort, torture, enslave, trade living beings, deal drugs and lots of other nasty things.

    And if it hasn't been changed, there should be no issues with saying and using it in official material.

    Was Jango a slaver? Slave-1 is such a silly, childish name. It sounds like something a junior high school student would think up.

    Maybe Jango named it while he was a junior high school student.

    We don't really know what Jango was doing prior to AOTC in this continuity.

    Bounty hunting.

    Generally when you're a bounty hunter you're not working for swell stand-up fellers, for gosh's sake.

    Let's all talk like old-timey people. Consarnit, dag-nibbity.

    Yeah. There’s a reason why nobody ever took Dag-Nibbity the Hutt very seriously.
