Star Wars: Boba Fett Actor Lashes Out At Disney Over Changing Boba Fett Ship's Name
Not Conforming To The Mouse
When applying for personalized plates for my car the DMV would not allow “Slave1“. Okay I understand. Had to try. But I get it.
This #disney idiocy however. Not buying it. Not conforming to the Mouse, no siree. Not gonna happen.

Here's the statement that Boba Fett actor Mark Anthony Austin put out, regarding Disney changing the name of Boba Fett's ship.

They are not changing the name of the Slave-1. It's just LEGO calling the ship "Boba Fett's Starship" on the packaging to make the set more accessible to casuals who aren't familiar with the name. It's the same with other sets.

Is this really political correctness at work? Or simply Disney and LEGO trying to sell more Boba Fett merchandise, in an easier way.

Exactly. Like they’ve done with many sets before. But they get so hyped up on the false narrative that they look embarrassing.. now he’s trashing Disney so guess he can kiss any hope of a cameo in the BF show or any future projects. What a hill to die on 😒

Really do hope Mark Austin wasn't counting on making any cameo appearances in upcoming Star Wars projects... because that ain't happening now.

This is an official guide to Star Wars vessels. And it says Slave 1. So screw what Disney’s trying to do. pic.twitter.com/sNgLyW1Asz

Disney is coming to have a hard time arguing against all those "official" Star Wars guides that have been published.

George Lucas named the ship "Slave I," and for a lot of Star Wars fans, that's the only gospel that needs to be spoken.

If they think that's offensive just wait until they hear about who the Imperial Army is based off.

Yeah, Disney, you poor innocent babies... There's so much more "controversy" in Star Wars waiting for you...
