lately , the Star Wars fanbase took time off from freaking out about The Force Awakens to freak out overa bruit banon product portray Princess Leia ’s “ Slave ” kit from Return of the Jedi . Many quarrel about the matter have been said since — a tidy sum of them middling good!—but leave it to Leia herself to put it well .
rumour : Disney May Be adjourn “ Slave Leia ” Merchandise For commodity
During the big selling push for The Force Awakens , the debate over whether or not it ’s right to trade toy dog of the barely clad Leia has been put onward to the actor — and of course , someone as wonderfully outspoken as Carrie Fisher does not hold back .
Here ’s a tame , but still moderately damn fantastic , answer she gave to theWall Street Journal :
There ’s been some debate late about whether there should be no more ware with you in the “ Return of the Jedi ” two-piece .
I think that ’s stupid .
To stop wee-wee the merchandise ?
The father who flipped out about it , “ What am I go to say my Kyd about why she ’s in that outfit ? ” secern them that a giant slug captured me and wedge me to wear that stupefied outfit , and then I killed him because I did n’t care it . And then I took it off . Backstage .
Yeah , empower Hutt - bump off Leia ! But Fisher had a far testier response when it came to a standardized question over at theL.A. Times :
How about telling his daughter that the reference is wearing that outfit not because she ’s choose to put on it . She ’s been drive to outwear it . She ’s a captive of a giant orchis who has a batch of saliva going on and she does not want to wear that affair and it ’s in the end that chain , which you ’re now indicating is some form of accoutrement to S&M , that is used to bolt down the gargantuan saliva bollock … . That ’s mindless .
Thanks , Carrie Fisher . From now on I can no longer think of Jabba the Hutt ’s name as anything other than “ Giant Saliva Testicle ” . Seems like after 30 + years of plow with stick - up , half - witted , seedy - lookin ’ Nerf herders , Carrie Fisher still does n’t put up your nonsense , either way !
possibly we could just like , I dunno , do by her like Han and Luke and have BAZILLIONS of different Leia toy , rather of just slave Leia ones ? No ? Too sensitive ? Just give me my Hoth Leia natural process figure , goddamit .
