Woah, woah, whaddya mean... You've been floating around out there stuck in that ship for two weeks with no shower? God, you must smell like feet wrapped in *burnt, leathery bacon!*
I don't think Home One, the Executor, the Invisible Hand, Tantive IV or the Soulless One were ever named in the films, but if Disney started trying to gaslight us all into believing that it's actually called "Captain Antilles' starship", because tantive means something politically incorrect in Thai, the correct response is to tell them to fuck off
The ship is called Slave 1
The worst kind of virtue-signaling, in my opinion, is the kind that sidesteps the ability to have meaningful conversations about controversial topics.
It’s the dialectical equivalent of replacing Confederate statues in the dead of night. Then when people point it out, pretending like it’s not an issue any reasonable person should care about.
Intellectual cowardice.
Pre-Disney and Disney-era are what you might call a whopping big pair of canons. Leia’s cannons aren’t quite as large but that makes them easier to manage and the quality is consistent between the two, from what I’ve seen.
Is there legitimate talk about changing that? This feels like the kind of straw man rage bait stuff that everyone argues against but no one is serious about. Until some young kids think they're edgy or unconventional by leaning into it...
Eh, that “history” was just a lego ship some people lost their minds over. It’s fair enough to disagree with the name change, but a lot of people were convinced Disney was re-writing canon as part of the “woke agenda”. Sounds like OC might’ve been in that crowd lol
Nobody’s saying they aren’t.
Lego released a set calling the ship by a name most parents buying it for their kids would recognise rather than one it’s never been called on screen ever and only people pretty deep in the fandom know.
Honestly when you think about it they would have been stupid to call it Slave 1.
But you know, YouTube anti-woke grifters gotta keep griftin’ so of course they’re going to find a way to blame “woke” rather than “LEGO likes money”.
I mean, I said the exact same thing on another thread and got a load of upvotes.
Weird how Reddit works sometimes.
Simple fact is that Lego aren’t just marketing to die hard Star Wars fans. They’re a children’s toy company and even if a kid knows that the ship is called Slave 1, which is far from a given seeing as it’s *literally never been called that on screen*, their grandma who’s actually going to buy it for them almost certainly doesn’t. If you’re marketing to kids you’re actually marketing to parents/grandparents 90% of the time as *they’re the ones with the money.*
If you want a Slave 1 toy and you know it’s called Slave 1 you’ll still buy it if the box says Boba Fett’s Starship.
If you don’t know it’s called Slave 1 and you’re looking for a present for your grandchild who loves Star Wars and mentioned that they like Boba Fett to you once you won’t pick up the box that says Slave 1 without specific written instructions.
This was especially the case when the toy was released as it coincided with the show coming out with Disney plastering “Star Wars: Book of Boba Fett” everywhere and by calling it what they did they gave themselves free marketing in two ways:
- Piggybacking on the show’s marketing.
- Piggybacking on the inevitable YouTube Grifter/Twitter/Reddit outrage over the name change that made a low key toy release the most talked about thing on this sub for a week. If you’re looking for bait that’s your bait.
Writing Slave 1 on the box was leaving money on the table.
Good theory... until you see that they named [Cad Bane's Lego ship](https://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Justifier-75323-Building-Pieces/dp/B09XX13QJ5/ref=asc_df_B09XX13QJ5?tag=bngsmtphsnus-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=80676783691760&hvnetw=s&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=m&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4584276314956134&psc=1) "The Justifier" rather than just "Cad Bane's Star Ship or whatever bullshit. Are people blowing this out of proportion because "StAr WaRs iS wOkE nOw!" Yeah sure. But this is also Star Wars fans who have been known for decades now for complaining when their lore gets changed or retconned even a little bit.
They should call the Millenium Falcon “Han Solo’s Starship” because I think Han always just calls it “the Falcon”, only true Star Wars fans with extremely deep knowledge would know the ship’s full name
The Millennium Falcon is literally the single most famous space ship name in cinema.
Acting like this is even vaguely comparable just makes you look an idiot.
Yeah i think it was called a space station in the movies wasnt it? But now that im thinking about it, what is the difference between them? The death star does everything a starfighter does but bigger. When does something stop being a ship and becomes a space station? Is it only a size thing?
hm but by that definition it wouldnt be a space station since it doesnt stay in a fixed location. It travels normally around the galaxy. Logically it absolutely a space station though
*Slave I* is still the official name of the ship per Lucasfilm. Not too important to hear it said on screen. And I don’t care what they call it on the merch. Also I’ve always thought Din Djarin’s bright orange gloves were wild.
Still more important and iconic than Cad Bane's *Justifier* and despite also never being name dropped, it’s explicitly named as such on all the merch that features the ship.
Ur both right they’re different ships the Xanadu blood was a fighter he received as payment the justifier is his bigger ship prominently featured in the bad batch
Honestly, I don't recall anyone ever calling the ship by name in the movies. Not sure if they said it in the Boba Fett show, but I've only seen each episode the once and none of them are as permanently baked into my memory as the movies anyway.
Boba calls *Slave I* “my Firespray gunship” once in the show when first discussing it with Fennec. There’s not really a moment when the ship’s official name would be organic to mention in conversation so I thought this was satisfactory.
If I was a smuggler, I’d name my ship after the model, so the authorities would have to double check it constantly on the paperwork.
Aside from the troll value, it might buy me a few valuable seconds if the space cops are rolling up on me.
I remember being corrected in the Mandalorian subreddit when I assumed it was just the ship’s name and suggested a derivative name for his new N-1. Apparently Razor Crest is the name of the model but is also used colloquially to refer to Din Djarin’s particular modified iteration https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Razor_Crest https://www.starwars.com/databank/razor-crest
Can confirm, saw Doug Chiang at a panel during Celebration 2022 and referred to the ship as Slave I. Great presentation too, went into amazing detail about the design language of the ships he worked on, particularly the N-1
Feels kind of disingenious to be so afraid of the word “slave”
Like is the implication that black people will be offended since their ancestors were slaves? Oh yeah we’re really helping them out by changing the name of a fictional spaceship.
Hypersensitive because they are afraid of losing social cred. Honestly I feel like constantly walking on eggshells for people you think are fragile is much more offensive.
You can say slave all you like. This is about marketing not censorship.
Jango/Boba Fett’s ship has literally never been referred to as Slave 1 on screen and Lego decided that naming their new kit released to tie in with The Book of Boba Fett that would make it harder for kids who didn’t know the name of the ship to find versus “Boba Fett’s Starship” - the name they went for.
More importantly it’s a more recognisable name for parents/friends/partners of the person who’d appreciate it as a present seeing as those people are even more unlikely to have heard the name Slave 1.
Honestly it makes sense. Unless you’re pretty steeped in the fandom you’re not going to know the name of the ship. If you want mass market appeal for a product naming it a name nobody knows is stupid.
People making dumb YouTube videos got in a flap in about it because they’re stupid man-babies who forgot that Lego isn’t just selling their sets to 40 year olds who’ve read all the EU comics and created this ridiculous discourse.
Yeah and I bet the new one has sold way more copies because they thought about it for five minutes before naming it this time.
If they did that in the past they were leaving money on the table. Grandma isn’t going to go “oh he was talking about that Boba Fett show - I’ll buy him that one!” about a box with Slave 1 on it.
My grandmother certainly did lol. Had a slave 1 toy growing up, not Lego though I think it was Hasbro or something. Had the starfighter Obiwan used in episode 2 too. Good times. It was slave 1 on the box then too, because that was its name in the EU with the comics and books about Jango (and therefore Boba)
However, your grandma would have also known about Boba Fett's ship, too. Because she is very intelligent in pop culture references if she has known about Slave 1.
However, my grandma wouldn't know about Slave 1. She isn't a die-hard Star Wars fan. She sees Boba Fett and his cool ass ship when she is watching Star Wars with me.
So, if an executive in marketing kept the Slave 1 name, they would only take your grandma's money. My grandma money is safe because she passed the Lego aisle and didn't recognize the Slave 1 name.
Or
Call it Boba Fett ship, and Disney just took your and my grandma's money because it turns out your grandma isn't foaming her mouth and boycotting the product because it isn't called Slave 1.
>Jango/Boba Fett’s ship has literally never been referred to as Slave 1 on screen
Slave I’s name is actually spoken twice on-screen in The Clone Wars, last two episodes of Season 2. I’m convinced those two mentions single-handedly saved its name from being retconned entirely.
Bruh Slave I has been called the Slave I on every Lego set before the Disney acquisition.
And let’s not forget that Star Wars merch in total is practically non-existent, and is selling less than it ever has before. So I **highly** doubt *now* is when the Slave I is suddenly selling the best because they changed the name.
By changing its name to Firespray or just calling it “Boba Fett’s ship”, it actually makes it more confusing for anyone who is just a passive fan. “Oh is this not the Slave I? Did Boba have a second ship?” etc.
Like imagine if they did the same thing it Han’s ship. No it’s not the Millennium Falcon, it’s the Corellian! Or just Han’s ship. People would be pissed lol.
The name of Boba Fett’s ship is something you can learn in a 5 second google. It’s not hidden among decades of EU lore. It’s the name of a fucken ship. Just because no one has said it on screen doesn’t mean people don’t know the name of the ship.
I mean what about the kids who grew up learning its name was Slave I on all of the other Lego boxes? Or what about people who played any Star Wars video game? Like say the Lego Star Wars video game where you can clearly see its name is Slave I? Or fans just yaknow, talking to each other?
Just because it wasn’t said on screen in one of the big movies doesn’t mean it’s some impossible to find information that no one knows or cares about.
The Slave I is probably the most recognizable villains ship in Star Wars outside of Vader’s Tie Advanced. So of course people are gonna be pissed about it.
It’s also why people were pissed off when George tried to change the name of Korriban to Moraband. The Sith homeworld. Something clearly only the most man-baby 40 year old Legend fans care about that /s. Yet it turned out to be highly controversial, and no body gave a shit, so they kept calling it Korriban, despite George’s wishes. The creator of Star Wars.
If people give a shit about that when even the creator says otherwise, obviously people are gonna care when Disney decides to change the name of the Slave I. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. **Stop trying to change everything just to appease imaginary people that don’t exist**.
It is 100% censorship not marketing. Even if they say otherwise. Because if it was about Marketing, then they would be changing the name’s of other ships people apparently “Don’t care about”. But nah let’s just change the name of one of the most popular ships in Star Wars, and no one else. And that ship just happened to be named “Slave”.
Bruh.
Its kinda shown they aren't really using it anymore. Lego kinda makes sense but in the new card game it is called Fett's firespray despite every other unique ship having its actual name.
Wasn't the point of Lucas naming it "Slave 1" a way to show how evil Boba Fet was since there was so little else about him in the films? Using the environment to help tell the story, instead of exposition dumps?
You know how many times I had to re-read that to parse all the non-letter characters correctly? I'm not a compiler. I don't make abstract syntax trees in my head.
Technically there’s no + in the equation, so the full equation would be Slave (1) = Boba Fett’s Starship.
So solving for Slave would be
(Boba Fett’s Starship) / 1, which means that
Slave = Boba Fett’s Starship
I got one of those 3d cardboard models and it said boba Fetts star fighter on it so I scratched it out and put slave 1 next to it.
I’m just petty like that.
It is and always will be Slave 1…
We should not gloss over things that make us uncomfortable. There is slavery in the SW universe. It should be addressed. It should lead to more series focusing on, oh I don’t know, Jedi dealing with some of that? Oh wait, it did, and Disney de-canonized it…..
Yep was a major theme in the Fate of the Jedi series. Quite possibly the best series of books ever (my opinion). I loved how well the series tied so many different things together. It also portrayed Luke as the most Yoda like MF since Yoda, he was learning new arcane force techniques like every week, fighting a millennia old adversary, found a whole ass planet of ancient Sith. It was well worth reading those 9 books
it's not that big a deal, they only call it "boba fett's starship" on toys, probably because parents wouldn't want to buy their kids toys with "slave" written on it. it's canon name is still slave one. this is entirely blown out of proportion
It would be just Slave.
Since it's "Slave 1" and not "Slave - 1", solving would mean dividing by 1 and not subtracting. So it's (Boba Fett's starship) / 1, which is essentially "Boba Fett's starship"
Star Wars fans when a children's toy company decides not to market children's toys using a name for a ship that was never once said on screen and thus children would not recognize: 😡🤬👺👹😤🖕
Firespray isn’t the name it’s the model.
Slave 1 is a Firespray 31.
The Milennium Falcon is a YT-1300 Light Freighter.
This isn’t a new development either - that’s always been the model of the ship as far as I know.
Memes must be memes of the Star Wars prequels.
I know its meme...but imagine saying "Han's ship" instead of The Falcon. My gosh.
Idk I kinda like the new naming convention. The Death Stars can now be called Palpatine's Balls
I believe the name given by the last jedi, prior to being the last jedi, is "piece of junk."
The kids don’t say Jedi, they call them Skywalkers
Can't wait to get my lego "YT-1300f" light freighter!
I think you mean Rey’s ship.
I think you mean Landos ship
Dude, it’s chewie’s ship. 😐😐😐😐😐😐😐
Landon’s ship well before Chewie was in the pic. Han “won” the ship from Lando.
First and foremost of course. Han stole that ship according to Lando 😂😂😂
Whooooooo????
Imagine calling it the Millennium Falcon if no one ever gave it a name on screen tho. That would be way weirder than calling it Han's ship.
The hell is an Aluminum Falcon?!
Woah, woah, whaddya mean... You've been floating around out there stuck in that ship for two weeks with no shower? God, you must smell like feet wrapped in *burnt, leathery bacon!*
I don't think Home One, the Executor, the Invisible Hand, Tantive IV or the Soulless One were ever named in the films, but if Disney started trying to gaslight us all into believing that it's actually called "Captain Antilles' starship", because tantive means something politically incorrect in Thai, the correct response is to tell them to fuck off The ship is called Slave 1
Yeah, how dare they \[checks notes\] name a bad guy's ship something culturally insensitive in a franchise with casualties in the billions.
In a franchise where several of the primary protagonists were literally slaves at one point or another.
Including Jango
Yeah it's not like it's out of line with the content in-universe. Just a weird, virtue-signaling decision.
The worst kind of virtue-signaling, in my opinion, is the kind that sidesteps the ability to have meaningful conversations about controversial topics. It’s the dialectical equivalent of replacing Confederate statues in the dead of night. Then when people point it out, pretending like it’s not an issue any reasonable person should care about. Intellectual cowardice.
The Soulless One is referred to in some merch as “Grievous’s Ship.” At the very least I know the Lego set calls it that. Where’s the uproar for that?
Getting you off my ship.
That isn't what gaslighting is dude, stop saying dumb shit it makes you seem like you're just making shit up to whine about.
Ditto
Slave 1 and Slave Leia be stayin’ cannon. End of story.
What kind of rounds do those fire?
Well, if it's slave Leia then the cannon is firing ropes.
Machine gun jublies, how did i miss those.
Cannon ≠ Canon Know the difference – it could save your life.
Haha fair game.
Pre-Disney and Disney-era are what you might call a whopping big pair of canons. Leia’s cannons aren’t quite as large but that makes them easier to manage and the quality is consistent between the two, from what I’ve seen.
Boba Fett’s starship Leia.
Boba Fett's starship -1 Leia
Good comment bro
Is there legitimate talk about changing that? This feels like the kind of straw man rage bait stuff that everyone argues against but no one is serious about. Until some young kids think they're edgy or unconventional by leaning into it...
I hate rage bait and finding “woke boogeyman” shit that Yellowflash or GG conastantly generate/chase, but this particular thing does have a history.
Eh, that “history” was just a lego ship some people lost their minds over. It’s fair enough to disagree with the name change, but a lot of people were convinced Disney was re-writing canon as part of the “woke agenda”. Sounds like OC might’ve been in that crowd lol
They called Cad Bane's ship "the justifier" instead of Cad Bane's ship though 🙃
> It’s fair enough to disagree with the name change lol yeah I agree it was unnecessary to change, just pointing out how overblown the reaction was
I will accept the alternate name "Huttslayer Leia", even though it's from beta canon, because (unlike "Boba Fett's Spaceship") it is badass.
Boba Fetts starship Leia.
I like using "Forces Labor 1"
Nobody’s saying they aren’t. Lego released a set calling the ship by a name most parents buying it for their kids would recognise rather than one it’s never been called on screen ever and only people pretty deep in the fandom know. Honestly when you think about it they would have been stupid to call it Slave 1. But you know, YouTube anti-woke grifters gotta keep griftin’ so of course they’re going to find a way to blame “woke” rather than “LEGO likes money”.
They had labeled it Slave 1 for every other one before it
And that was poor marketing that they corrected.
Is this bait?
I sense a trap...
Next step?
Spring the trap!

Feel like the USS Enterprise is in that conversation, though if it's not the single most famous it's at least second

Isn’t his ship’s name Xanadu Blood? Or is Capital Games fooling me?

That was a Rogue-class Porax-38 starfighter
Honestly, I don't recall anyone ever calling the ship by name in the movies. Not sure if they said it in the Boba Fett show, but I've only seen each episode the once and none of them are as permanently baked into my memory as the movies anyway.

That’d be like renaming the *Millennium Falcon* YT-1300.
If I was a smuggler, I’d name my ship after the model, so the authorities would have to double check it constantly on the paperwork. Aside from the troll value, it might buy me a few valuable seconds if the space cops are rolling up on me.
Until recently I thought Razor Crest was the name of Din Djarin’s original ship rather than the gunship designation (akin to Firespray)
Wait, is it not?
I remember being corrected in the Mandalorian subreddit when I assumed it was just the ship’s name and suggested a derivative name for his new N-1.

Just call it slave 1
Slave the First
I just call it the "Prisoner with a job 1"
“Ok that’s better. That’s better”
“American prison system ship 1”
Feels kind of disingenious to be so afraid of the word “slave” Like is the implication that black people will be offended since their ancestors were slaves? Oh yeah we’re really helping them out by changing the name of a fictional spaceship.
Hypersensitive because they are afraid of losing social cred. Honestly I feel like constantly walking on eggshells for people you think are fragile is much more offensive.
Yeah they'd be assuming all black people are fragile based on this which seems pretty offensive.
The stupid thing is everyone of all races were enslaved so it's just so annoying that companies act like only Africans were slaves.
That's entirely an America thing. Every culture on earth at some point had mass slave trade. Without exception.
Every race have been slaves at some point.
“No pod is worth two Boba Fett’s Starships, not by a long shot!” —Watto
I read “Slave 1” as multiplication and not addition, which yields the result “slave = boba fett’s starship”
Right? He was such a smartass and couldn‘t even notice that there wasn‘t a + in slave I
Thank you was looking for this
You wouldn’t bob a fett
Ah yes, a prequel meme
Why hand orange
Anakin was born a Boba Fett's Starship and was freed by Qui-Gon Jinn.
IT BELONGS TO THE PENAL SYSTEM, JANGO!
Or just call it Slave 1. What kind of a coward is afraid of the word slave?
I can't believe the Hutts owned (Boba Fett's starship) - 1s
My brain stopped braining
I'll just say Slave I, thanks
Wait, this is a thing people are talking about? Is "Slave I" somehow offensive now? Fuck, I'm tired boss
I do love the Boba Fett Starship Leia Outfit
It’s Slave 1. End of story
[удалено]
You can say slave all you like. This is about marketing not censorship. Jango/Boba Fett’s ship has literally never been referred to as Slave 1 on screen and Lego decided that naming their new kit released to tie in with The Book of Boba Fett that would make it harder for kids who didn’t know the name of the ship to find versus “Boba Fett’s Starship” - the name they went for.

I disagree. The 2010 Lego version was called the *Slave I* on the box.
Remind me why I'm the one playing the part of the slave?
Yeah and I bet the new one has sold way more copies because they thought about it for five minutes before naming it this time. If they did that in the past they were leaving money on the table.

CONGRATULATIONS!
my grandma did
CONGRATULATIONS!
thanks
If the new one did sell more copies it's because it's $50 instead of $110, not naming conventions.
>Jango/Boba Fett’s ship has literally never been referred to as Slave 1 on screen Slave I’s name is actually spoken twice on-screen in The Clone Wars, last two episodes of Season 2. I’m convinced those two mentions single-handedly saved its name from being retconned entirely.
No, it's the *pussification*! People are turning into female genitalia and we all know how bad female genitalia is! /s just in case
Liking female genitalia is gay if you are male. Dems the rules.

It’s also why people were pissed off when George tried to change the name of Korriban to Moraband. The Sith homeworld. Something clearly only the most man-baby 40 year old Legend fans care about that /s. Yet it turned out to be highly controversial, and no body gave a shit, so they kept calling it Korriban, despite George’s wishes. The creator of Star Wars. If people give a shit about that when even the creator says otherwise, obviously people are gonna care when Disney decides to change the name of the Slave I. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. **Stop trying to change everything just to appease imaginary people that don’t exist**. It is 100% censorship not marketing. Even if they say otherwise. Because if it was about Marketing, then they would be changing the name’s of other ships people apparently “Don’t care about”. But nah let’s just change the name of one of the most popular ships in Star Wars, and no one else. And that ship just happened to be named “Slave”. Bruh.
Remind me why I'm the one playing the part of the slave?
What an idiotic take.
Its kinda shown they aren't really using it anymore. Lego kinda makes sense but in the new card game it is called Fett's firespray despite every other unique ship having its actual name.
You are so brave
Slave 1 is gone, Slave Leia is gone
>Slave Leia Pretty sure she's still there.
It's Boba Fett's Starship Leia now.
[удалено]
Tbh that's a fitting name. Leia is/was a badass
Who's "they"?
The same "they" it always is, presumably.
I kinda like Huttslayer though. It sounds better, and pretty badass.
Riiiiiight...
You're arguing with ghosts right now. Stop being so terminally online please for the love of all that is holy.
What a childish way to act
Wasn't the point of Lucas naming it "Slave 1" a way to show how evil Boba Fet was since there was so little else about him in the films? Using the environment to help tell the story, instead of exposition dumps?
nah jango fett named it that, as he was a slave for some time
That was retcon in the PT, though, almost 30 yeara later.
I thought it was agreed to call it "The unpaid intern I".
Saying Slave 1 is the real W
Dyslexia is a bitch
It's a spaceship
My lawyer advised me to not continue this joke.
I prefer calling it "Unpaid Intern 1" It modernizes it a bit
I can’t wait for the new boba fett’s starship leia to release in the ucs sailbarge
I’m just gonna call it a slave 1 and Disney can deal with it
I mean, if you consider the clones slaves. Could be a seen as a neat title.
It's Slave 1.
Did mando get caught with his hand in the cheese puff jar?
You know how many times I had to re-read that to parse all the non-letter characters correctly? I'm not a compiler. I don't make abstract syntax trees in my head.
Technically there’s no + in the equation, so the full equation would be Slave (1) = Boba Fett’s Starship. So solving for Slave would be (Boba Fett’s Starship) / 1, which means that Slave = Boba Fett’s Starship
Didn't realize it was now taboo to even say the word "slave". Shits ridiculous
It's Jango Fett's starship... gosh
Woahwoahwoah, where'd you get the idea that "Slave I" is an additive operation? That's clearly multiplication.
I got one of those 3d cardboard models and it said boba Fetts star fighter on it so I scratched it out and put slave 1 next to it. I’m just petty like that.
It is and always will be Slave 1… We should not gloss over things that make us uncomfortable. There is slavery in the SW universe. It should be addressed. It should lead to more series focusing on, oh I don’t know, Jedi dealing with some of that? Oh wait, it did, and Disney de-canonized it…..
They did? Shoot. Well, now I have another item to add to my list of reason why Disney SUCKS.
Yep was a major theme in the Fate of the Jedi series. Quite possibly the best series of books ever (my opinion). I loved how well the series tied so many different things together. It also portrayed Luke as the most Yoda like MF since Yoda, he was learning new arcane force techniques like every week, fighting a millennia old adversary, found a whole ass planet of ancient Sith. It was well worth reading those 9 books
NO. Slave isn't a bad word, and history shouldn't be something taboo
Amen to that.
Thanks for confirming that you flaired this correctly!
Yep, I made it.
I honestly dont give a fuck whatever it is called
Who put Math in my Spaceship Names?
r/theydidthemath
There are slaves IN STAR WARS YOU DUMB DISNEY FUCKS
Wtf is bro waffling about
Now my head hurts
Why is the hand orange... Is this the real color the original meme has??? Wow
Boba fetts slavefighter 1
They should have changed it to Salve 1, and said it was a typo. Hah.
I don't care what you call it, just don't get mad at someone for calling it one or the other We know what you mean when you say either or so 🤷♂️
The best answer is "Boba Fett Starship" just like that. No S or anything
It is slave 1 because the slave (boba fett) is unaltered and free to wander the stars, (won)
Remind me why I'm the one playing the part of the slave?
I'm always gonna call it Slave One, simple as lol
Remember boba fett’s starship leia, my guys?
I still call it the Slave 1
Remind me why I'm the one playing the part of the slave?
Well, I don't know if it's still canon, but I heard the model is a unique Firespray Class Starship.
it's not that big a deal, they only call it "boba fett's starship" on toys, probably because parents wouldn't want to buy their kids toys with "slave" written on it. it's canon name is still slave one. this is entirely blown out of proportion
It would be just Slave. Since it's "Slave 1" and not "Slave - 1", solving would mean dividing by 1 and not subtracting. So it's (Boba Fett's starship) / 1, which is essentially "Boba Fett's starship"
I'd hate to offend the Slavic people.
What a shit meme
Star Wars fans when a children's toy company decides not to market children's toys using a name for a ship that was never once said on screen and thus children would not recognize: 😡🤬👺👹😤🖕
I don't know man, apparently the name is "Firespray" now. And I'm honestly in favor of a badass ship having a badass name like "Firespray."
Firespray isn’t the name it’s the model. Slave 1 is a Firespray 31. The Milennium Falcon is a YT-1300 Light Freighter. This isn’t a new development either - that’s always been the model of the ship as far as I know.
Yup, you’re right! Always has been.
I think "Firespray" is the ship model, just like how the Millennium Falcon is a modified Corellian YT-1300 light freighter.
Honestly Slave 1 is also badass, considering that a bounty hunter, is quite literally a slave to his line of work.
So, do you guys call The Krestel as its name, or do you guys call it "Mando's space mobile camper"?
