While Disney’s request is to rebrand the name on the box, they are not canonically changing the name. One more point and then I’ll let sleeping dogs lie. Perhaps there is a marketing metric that indicates sales are often better using less esoteric branding. An example is the Night Buzzard a transport ship used by the Knights of Ren the Lego set simply calls it “Knights of Ren Transport Ship”. However, it’s not uncommon for Lego to leave the formal name of a ship off the box. These previous sets are branded with the “Slave 1” name on the box. There have been a couple of Lego sets for the Slave 1, all of which are now retired. I’m only writing to inform and not to persuade. As I said before, I’m going to try to remain unbiased. It stands to reason that there might be a reaction when Disney is trying to skirt around the name. What makes this ship unique is that the actual name is only ever spoken once in an episode of Clone Wars (Season 2, episode 21 Aurra Sing says “ Bossk! Fire up Slave 1“). This ship is one of the most beloved ships among Star Wars fans, aside from the Millennium Falcon.


In fact, to this day he still hasn’t told us the secret of its origin. He’s usually very forthcoming about how he came up with all the different sound effects, but he won’t talk about this one. Ben Burtt is the genius behind the Star Wars sound effects. Here is another interesting, behind-the-scenes, fact about the seismic charge. It is still one of my favorite sound effects from the franchise. It wasn’t until Attack of the Clones when we got to see one of the coolest weapons in its arsenal the Seismic_charge (click the link to hear the satisfying audio). In the original trilogy we never saw Slave 1 in a dog fight. Once the ship was in possession by the Fett’s, the weapons system was upgraded. Seismic Charges – The Greatest Sound Effect Ever! I think all the fans were squealing with excitement. I’ll never forget seeing it pop up in The Mandalorian. Its unique design and ominous role in the franchise makes it a fan favorite. There is a long history of this ship over the course of subsequent films, books and television series. There were only six of this model, all of which were patrol vessels at Oovo IV. The ship was commandeered (stolen) from the prison moon of Oovo IV during a job. Slave 1 is a Firespray-31 class patrol and attack craft manufactured on Kuat. In the meantime, how much do you know about Slave 1? I will go into an unbiased discussion of this topic later. Disney approached Lego and specifically asked them not to use the name “Slave 1” on the newest Lego set of Boba Fett’s ship. A new Lego set is causing minor ripples on the Internet. Normally these posts are about actors in the films but recent events has me inclined to do something different.
