Disney Asked LEGO to Rename New LEGO Star Wars Slave I Set

June 27, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Yesterday at LEGO CON 2021, LEGO announced three new LEGO Star Wars Mandalorian sets one of which is called Boba Fett’s Starship (75312). Fans of Star Wars know that it is originally called the Slave I and was wondering why it isn’t called that when previous sets were also called the Slave I.

Speaking at Fan Media Days, LEGO Star Wars Design Director Jens Kronvold Frederiksen said that Disney have asked for the Slave I to be renamed Boba Fett’s Starship, as noted by Jedi News. It was also stated that dropping the Slave I name is “probably not something which has been announced publicly but it is just something that Disney doesn’t want to use any more.”

Disney has moved away from the word “slave” in past years with merchandise and marketing of “Slave Leia” and it looks like it has also been retired from the iconic ship’s name. Since all the previous LEGO Star Wars Slave I sets have been retired, you can only find them on the secondary market. The new Boba Fett’s Starship will be available starting on August 1 for $49.99.

LEGO CON 2021 Post-Event Press Release

June 26, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO has just released a press release regarding LEGO CON 2021 and its “great success” for the event. I wouldn’t say it was great but it was entertaining here and there. I did like the interviews with the various LEGO designers as well as NASA astronaut Mike Massimino. The interactivity with viewers was also decent especially with the LEGO DOTS mosaic.

There were also some things that I didn’t really like about it. The main thing was the connection issues with the stream. I was watching/listening to it at work and suddenly there was silence. I thought my network went down but it was the actual stream that crashed and gave an error. I saw that others also had the same issue and I think it happened a few times.

As for the set reveals, there were a couple of them, one for LEGO Ideas and one for LEGO Star Wars. They announced the We Love Sport! set which was the Foosball Table but some people already knew that because LEGO accidentally posted it a few days ago before taking it down. The other annnoucement was for the Summer 2021 Mandalorian sets. One disappointment was that many fans were expecting the reveal of the UCS Republic Gunship which didn’t happen at all. The other “reveals” like the new LEGO Super Mario range and LEGO VIDIYO Boombox were already known about so they weren’t really reveals.

Overall, the event was a decent event that could be improved on if LEGO decides to make it an annual event.… Continue
