Disney says no more Slave Leia

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.

      Do You Agree With These Excuses?

      Extrapolate that with every QB for that matter. I guarantee you there's quite a bit of missed opportunities and yards left on the field for everyone. Many NFL QBs deal with WRs not putting in A+ effort, subpar o-line play and other deficiencies. The great ones are able to rise above these issues and create opportunities for plays. Guys like Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes can both play in and out of structure, as well as find ways to get yards when things break down and mask mistakes by throwing guys open, creating opportunities from nothing, etc. Bryce Young has only shown he's able to make things happen when the rest of the team picks up his slack. Very rarely does he create those opportunities himself. When this is a consistent pattern year after year with Bryce where he shows up lackluster, it's a concern. This is year three and he should be elevating the team as a first overall pick this franchise traded up for.  He was far from elevating anyone against JAX. In fact, he needed others to elevate and create for him. Excuses may be fine for a rookie, but this is year three for the first overall pick. Not looking good so far.

      I think the worst issue is coaching. Countless bad snaps, XL not getting his feet in or trying on runs plays, our centre being down field when he didn't need to be. All seem to be from poor coaching for me. I believe Canales is to soft to rip the players a new one when the fug up. Plus I honestly believe that Canales is slow getting his plays in giving Bryce less time to diagnose and adjust to the defence. Don't worry I could of head butted Bryce for that fumble and the 4th down throw aways but the other plays are explainable to me

      No We have been making excuses for him for 3 years, and we have gave him a hundred chances  Bryce is a bust, and we need to cut him now and stop wasting everyone's time
