This Leia is often referred to by fans as \u201c<span><a class=\"sc-1out364-0 dPMosf sc-145m8ut-0 erKGZM js_link\" data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;External link&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/starwars.fandom.com\/wiki\/Dancing-girl_costume&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https:\/\/starwars.fandom.com\/wiki\/Dancing-girl_costume\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Slave Leia\u201d<\/a><\/span> and has become popular in the fan community. But it\u2019s also an outfit that has led to a lot of debate among fans and critics. And when Disney bought <em>Star Wars<\/em> in 2012, we indeed saw a decrease in how often \u201cSlave Leia\u201d appeared in merchandise and media. <span><a class=\"sc-1out364-0 dPMosf sc-145m8ut-0 erKGZM js_link\" data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;External link&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/www.bricklink.com\/v2\/catalog\/catalogitem.page?M=sw0485&amp;name=Princess%20Leia%20-%20Slave%20Outfit&amp;category=%5BStar%20Wars%5D%5BStar%20Wars%20Episode%204\/5\/6%5D#T=S&amp;O={%22iconly%22:0}&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bricklink.com\/v2\/catalog\/catalogitem.page?M=sw0485&amp;name=Princess%20Leia%20-%20Slave%20Outfit&amp;category=%5BStar%20Wars%5D%5BStar%20Wars%20Episode%204\/5\/6%5D#T=S&amp;O={%22iconly%22:0}\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Since Disney bought <em>Star Wars<\/em>, only one new Lego set<\/a><\/span> has been released that includes a version of the metal bikini. And now a new version is finally here, but she\u2019s showing less plastic skin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">On September 21, <span><a class=\"sc-1out364-0 dPMosf sc-145m8ut-0 erKGZM js_link\" data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;External link&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/x.com\/brickset\/status\/1837475806202769595?t=8VbUpB_z9MIJffzRxRQdcw&amp;s=19&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/brickset\/status\/1837475806202769595?t=8VbUpB_z9MIJffzRxRQdcw&amp;s=19\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the Lego news and fansite <em>Brickset<\/em> tweeted out<\/a><\/span> two images comparing the 2013 Leia to the new 2024 Leia that will be included in the Barge set. The images showed that the new Leia is mostly the same, but now has a larger skirt that covers her entire upper legs. No more side thighs or oddly nude behind. <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"twitter-embed\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%\"><iframe data-src=\"https:\/\/kotaku.com\/embed\/inset\/iframe?id=twitter-1837475806202769595&amp;autosize=1\" autoresize=\"true\" id=\"twitter-1837475806202769595\" data-recommended=\"false\" class=\"core-inset lazyload\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"webkitAllowFullScreen\" mozallowfullscreen=\"mozallowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">The reaction has been strange and hard to parse. There are people mocking or parodying folks being upset that they can\u2019t \u201cjerk it\u201d to a plastic toy figure. There are also people jokingly blaming the nebulous concept of \u201cwoke\u201d for the figure\u2019s covered thighs. However, mixed in with these jokes and confused posts are folks who do seem <em>actually<\/em> upset about this new minifig. Some seem to suggest this is Disney trying to erase history. Others are shouting about censorship.  At least one Lego outlet described the new Legie figure as \u201c<span><a class=\"sc-1out364-0 dPMosf sc-145m8ut-0 erKGZM js_link\" data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;External link&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/www.brickfanatics.com\/lego-star-wars-princess-leia-two-step-back\/&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brickfanatics.com\/lego-star-wars-princess-leia-two-step-back\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">one step forward, two steps back<\/a><\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">How many of these are real and how many are people just \u201cjoking around\u201d is hard to tell. In 2024, I can easily see some people being mad about a less sexy Lego minifig. <span><a class=\"sc-1out364-0 dPMosf sc-145m8ut-0 erKGZM js_link\" data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;External link&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/danidiplacido\/2022\/01\/22\/tucker-carlson-widely-mocked-after-criticizing-less-sexy-mms\/&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/danidiplacido\/2022\/01\/22\/tucker-carlson-widely-mocked-after-criticizing-less-sexy-mms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">People got angry about the green M&amp;M not being sexy<\/a><\/span>.

We have long crossed the Rubicon when it comes to what certain weirdos online will scream about that I genuinely can\u2019t tell if a joke is a joke or a desperate soul angrily sharing his real, honest thoughts on Leia\u2019s unexposed plastic ass. <\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">Anyway, I think the new Leia looks fine. It was always weird that her skirt didn\u2019t cover her rear, as it does in the film, and while the new skirt might not be accurate, it looks better than the old figure which <em>also <\/em>didn\u2019t have a perfectly accurate loin cloth design either. I\u2019m now going to stop writing about this and try to enjoy my life. Try to feel something again. <\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\"> .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/kotaku.com\/new-lego-slave-leia-minifig-skirt-star-wars-jabba-barge-1851656395\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week, Lego officially unveiled the $500 Jabba Barge, its next big massive Star Wars UCS set geared toward collectors and adults.
