Disney phasing out Slave Leia

To a generation of men, Carrie Fisher in a gold bikini was their Bo Derek running along the beach or Jane Fonda floating in zero-gravity. To a generation of women, Princess Leia strangling Jabba the Hutt with her chain was an image of female empowerment. But now, efforts are reportedly being made to ban “slave Leia” from the Star Wars universe.

According to recent comments made by comic book artist J. Scott Campbell, an illustrator on “Star Wars” comics, Disney is phasing out depictions of Leia’s slave outfit. In a series of Facebook comments, Campbell insisted that fans would be seeing less and less of Carrie Fisher wearing less.

Fisher herself might agree with the move. The outspoken actress recently interviewed “The Force Awakens” star Daisy Ridley, telling the young actress to “fight against that slave outfit!” and implying regret that she ever put it on.

“Daisy Ridley won’t have to fight against anything,” Campbell writes on Facebook. “Disney is already well on its way to wiping out the ‘slave’ outfit from any future products period. You will NOT see an(y) future merchandising featuring the slave outfit ever again. Trust me.”

Something tells me this decision won't go over well.

Older star wars fans are just gonna have to get use to it. Disney wants the next generation, they'll cater to the old fans when they can but if it comes down to being more inclusive of new a generation(AKA the kids that are gonna keep this thing going and buy most of the merch) or cater to 30+ year old men that want their childhood in tact then Disney will bank on  the kids every time.

Not saying I agree with it but from a business standpoint I get it.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      The same folks crying about the OL right now were crying about it in 2023 too. We have tied up over 100 million dollars in two interior olinemen alone. We've invested multiple first and second round picks in the offense. We hired an offensive minded head coach. This is an offensive team. The offense needs to produce or people need to be replaced.

      This is the same place that has ridiculed and blasted Caleb Williams at every opportunity he has his team sitting at 10-4 in the same NFC that the Panthers are competing in. And their division in the NFC North is as or more competitive as our division. Yet from the same people who have very high standards for Williams we get every excuse imaginable for the smallest starting QB in the league even when he and his team continue to disappoint when the pressure is on. You lot aren't any less inconsistent than anyone else.

      The Panthers are 9th in cap spent on offense this year.  However next season is already a different story  The Panthers as it stands right now will be 18th in cap spent on offense and 8th in cap spent on defense  The Panthers are currently set to spend more on defense next year than they are on offense this season Guys like Jaycee and Moehrig cap numbers take a big jump. Wharton has a massive cap hit   Jaycee Moehrig and Wharton in 2025 The same 3 in 2026 So this same defense as it stands right now will cost more in 2026 than this offense does right now… Got anything else you want to try?
