Who cares what NON fans think...
Anyone who has actually paid attention to the Star Wars media, knows that Boba Fett is a bounty hunter, and not a particularly nice one...
"Slave 1" is an appropriate name for a ship belonging to a villain.
I wish Boba Fett were real, and would take them all to a sarlac pit... This PC crowd is doing more harm than good, and needs to die.

Wow how strange-I thought of the ship name yesterday-wondering about the name in this PC environment. I don't think Boba Fett would take kindly to CRT.

Seriously, do people not know when a nomenclature is being used to intentionally degrade a group of people (nationality, race, ethnicity, gender, etc) or reinforce some negative stereotype?!? And when it’s not being used that way? What happened to common sense perception? The PC and cancel culture keep trying to find new black and white extremes to take everything to.
So what’s next? Are we going to have a remake of TPM and TFA where Anakin and Rey are not slaves?!?… It’s probably coming and it’ll be a storytelling disaster.

If they change it to "Disney Customer 1"
that means the same thing.

Well the "fans" who are saying it is alive and well are not producing quality Star Wars content.

What about the word master?
Master Luke? Master Yoda? Mastercard?

From Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary Next, Disney will say the Wookiee braids are actually plant-based.

It's just for a Lego set. You don't think it will carry over to The Book of Boba Fett?

So I don't see how that would make a huge difference even if it happened. It's still called Slave I in the online databank, though the URL has changed. Worst case, it just won't be referred to by that name in EU material going forward. As far as the show is concerned, it won't seem any different unless they actually rename the ship.

I remember reading that when Jeremy Bulloch first put on the costume--he stuck the wookie scalps inside the helmet--he thought it was hair.
I believe there is one other actor from the movie who wore the costume--the guy who played the astronaut in Superman 2 who was in the command capsule. I read he played Boba Fett in the scene when he says "He's no good to me dead."
