Re: Princess Leia is no longer a slave

Then why the announcement and the "after 38 years" thing? I'm pretty sure the people who used to define her by the slave costume will continue to do so.

I'm not even sure what you're asking here. The Slave Leia thing has long been equal parts a gag/something special for the boyfriend (or girlfriend) etc. It's been that way for literally decades. There's a lot of people who find that offensive, which it is, but you can't pretend that it has no cultural cachet beyond creepy neckbeards. People have been dressing up in the costume since before you were even born.

Arguably, if the costume hadn't become such a major icon of the series through vintage fandom memes, unofficial costumes and other forms of cultural transmission, I doubt we'd be hearing so much about the costume now.

And anyway "38 years" is wrong because Return of the Jedi came out in 1983. So more like 32 years.

I meant, why is the OP claiming that now she is "no longer a slave"? What happened to somehow destroy the slave bikini meme?

Now that they own it, Disney has decided to not do slave leia stuff anymore. So presumably this means no slave leia official toys, on playing cards, etc.

TBF I can understand why Disney is doing that. Because, you know, Disney.

Not to mention that depending on the contract, they might not own the rights to merchandising for the first six films.
