Disney Tries To Go Woke By Renaming Boba Fett's Slave 1 Spaceship

 You would think that Disney would be tired of pissing off Star Wars fans, but they aren't. It was revealed that Disney was trying to covertly rename Boba Fett's famous spaceship Slave 1 and hoping nobody would notice. Well once again the studio demonstrated that they don't understand  Star Wars or it's fans (with the exception of Rogue One and The Mandalorian). Star Wars fans notice EVERYTHING, even stuff you try to hide. They are tenacious. So when you put out a new Lego model called Boba Fett's Starship only about a million people are going to notice.

Yes, Disney renamed the Slave 1 to Boba Fett's Starship. Now, why would they do that? 

Well it does have that offensive term 'Slave' in there. Honestly this crap has to stop! How many nasty emails did the company receive from people who were offended by the name of Boba Fett's ship? That's right ... zero, but as is the case with just about every major company in America, they were scared senseless that they might. 

Actually the move had the opposite effect and droves of Star Wars fans and even the actor who originally played Boba Fett ... well, got really pissed off.

You don't want to mess with Star Wars fans when it comes to Boba Fett and his ship!

From Breitbart:

Mark Anthony Austin, who played Boba Fett in the re-issued version of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, tweeted his disappointment in the studio’s request to strike the name of the character’s spaceship — “Slave 1” — off the new LEGO Star Wars toy. “I cannot put into words how much I love this spaceship. It’s like Han has Chewie. I’ve always had Slave1. You cannot change that,” he tweeted Monday. (Austin also worked as a digital graphics artist on the movie.)

Jedi News reported Monday that LEGO’s toy version of Boba Fett’s ship won’t be called “Slave 1” after Disney specifically requested a name change. Instead, the ship will be known simply as “Boba Fett’s Starship.” \

Slave 1 first appeared in The Empire Strikes Back in 1980. It later appeared in the 1997 re-issue of A New Hope. 

 The decision to cancel the spaceship’s name comes shortly after Disney dropped actress Gina Carano from the Star Wars series The Mandalorian after she shared a social media post likening modern cancel culture to Nazi Germany. 

 The studio has also announced it will overhaul the popular theme park rides Splash Mountain and Jungle Cruise following complaints from left-wing activists that the attractions glorify racism.

What the hell is racist about The Jungle Cruise ride? It's just another case of a minority of people ruining things for the rest of us.

I'm happy that Star Wars fans have enough balls to stand up to this kind of BS. We all need to start stepping up and speaking up when it comes to these issues!
