Slave Leia is the epitome of what the character does not represent.

I'll take the General or Princess over the slave any day.

She escaped at the first opportunity, but that doesn't count because she was forced to wear a skimpy outfit? Is that your reasoning?

Maybe I can help with some updated branding? How about... "Newly free (hasn't had time to change yet) Leia"

Leia, to me, represents a beautiful dominant strong feminine character. The Hutt degraded her to his amusement and stripped her of her power. Her murder of Jabba was a pinnacle moment for her character which was why SHE had to do it and not be "saved" from her chain.

But that's not why people buy the slave Leia. They buy her like that because she has no clothes on.

Is she hot in that outfit? Absolutely. But that outfit is not at all what the mythos of Leia Organa represents to anyone who thinks past the b*ner they got back when they were 10 years old. Its actually the complete opposite of who she is.

I can get behind that thinking.

Maybe a compromise would be... mid-killing Jaba with the chain... diorama? We get the outfit and respect for the character.

A cool angry face option would be kinda badass too. Just saying.

I'm sure fans are still pitching tents 37 years later.
