Under fire from feminists about the “sexist” depictions of “Slave Leia, rumor has it that Disney is planning to drop all merchandise featuring Princess Leia in her slave costume and pull any reference to it in marketing, yanking the chain on one of the most iconic costumes in sci-fi history.
The report comes from the site Making Star Wars, which regularly leaks insider info on the latest Star Wars developments. Editor-in-chief Jason Ward said that while he’d heard rumors a while back that Disney would be pulling the feminist-infuriating “Slave Leia” figure, he didn’t think the story had legs. But a recent Facebook post from Star Wars comic artist J. Scott Campbell seemed to confirm that Disney was going to be heeding feminists’ call, saying that Marvel artists are now forbidden not just to feature Leia in the costume but to even depict her in “a sexy pose.”
