A new minifigure based on Leia's 'Slave Girl' outfit from Return of the Jedi is causing some discourse
Last week, Lego officially unveiled the $500 Jabba Barge, its next big massive Star Wars UCS set geared toward collectors and adults. The new set, which is set to arrive next month, contains a series of small Lego minifig characters, including R2-2D, Jabba the Hutt, and Bib Fortuna. But it’s the new “Slave Leia” minifig in the set that has sparked some odd discussion online. Over the years we’ve received a few Lego versions of the Leia seen in 1983's Star Wars: Return of The Jedi.
There are people mocking or parodying folks being upset that they can’t “jerk it” to a plastic toy figure. There are also people jokingly blaming the nebulous concept of “woke” for the figure’s covered thighs. However, mixed in with these jokes and confused posts are folks who do seem actually upset about this new minifig. Some seem to suggest this is Disney trying to erase history. Others are shouting about censorship.
