WorldSmasher Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) In This Case It's About Bobba Fett's Starhip Slave I getting renamed by Woke Disney.... Slave I will be renamed... To some other name that is the "Class Name" of the starship and not its individual name... I tried to post the link to the video article of the report of Disney doing what it could to block the content, but that link I tried to post was successfully blocked by Disney.... Search terms: "Boba Fett Slave one renamed by disney." Edited August 26, 2021 by WorldSmasher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRKMSN Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 This is probably more of a Star Wars discussion than a general one. Regardless, wokeness is a concern to me. It's an attempt to constantly move a bar without gaining anything. If you watch any TV shows about buying / renting homes, you'll notice they have stopped using the term Master Bedroom. They have replaced the term with "Main Bedroom." So if you want to really know how ridiculous this is, now you'll have to find a new term for the bathroom in the master bedroom. It used to be obviously called the master bathroom. But now, if you call it the "main bathroom," it just ushers in confusion. The main bathroom is where the guests go. This whole thing is going too far. Just because the term master has ties to slavery does not mean that was it's only purpose or even its original purpose. If Star Wars wants to go down this "woke" path, they have a lot more than Slave 1 to worry about, Master Jedi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth-Obvious Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) This isn't the right place to discuss this also this isn't a news story that just broke today. It popped up a while ago. This should be in the Star Wars Discussion section, not the SWTOR General Discussion section. It's not a specific thread about a very specific topic. https://www.swtor.com/community/forumdisplay.php?f=251 Edited August 26, 2021 by Darth-Obvious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTricicolo Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) It just so happens that they are using the nomenclature(KSE Firespray-31) of the ship as its new moniker. To be honest, Slave I or Firespray, either one works for me. Edited August 26, 2021 by TonyTricicolo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hrafnhildur Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Hi. I kinda agree to this change because with the exception of big ships ( The Tyrant, Spirit of Vengeance, Gav Daragon and so on), no ship in this game ( a Star Wars game..) has a "personal" name. For example, BH ship is a D5 KDY Patrol Mantis, Mantis for short. In the TV series "The Mandalorian", the dude calls his ship "The Razorcrest", but that's not a "personal name", but an entire class of ships, sorry i don't know the entire name. Another aspect, when Bobba and Fennec land on Tython, we are not being specifically told that's his original ship, the one from the movie, it could be another ship from the same class. So, there's a possibility that ship is not Slave 1, so Bobba won't call it Slave 1, but by class name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
