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.

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
