THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT Star Temuera Morrison Confirms That "Slave 1" Will Be Renamed For The Show

Lucasfilm decided to drop the name "Slave 1" last year, and The Book of Boba Fett star Temuera Morrison has now confirmed that Fett's iconic starship has been renamed for the Disney+ series.

For reasons that should be fairly obvious, Lucasfilm decided to change the name of Boba Fett's starship last year, announcing that the bounty hunter's iconic mode of transportation would no longer be known as Slave 1. Now, The Book of Boba Fett star Temuera Morrison has confirmed that his character's ship will have a new name on the show.

We haven't actually seen the former Slave 1 in the Disney+ series outside of flashbacks, but it is expected to factor into the story over the course of the final three episodes, and Morrison has revealed that it will be known as the Firespray Gunship.

As many Star Wars fans will be aware, the ship is actually a "Firespray" class vessel, so Lucasfilm weren't particularly imaginative when it came to renaming Slave 1!

The name change is not a huge deal (obviously), but some fans inevitably kicked up a fuss, and there's been renewed backlash on social media since this interview segment began doing the rounds online.

What do you guys make of the decision to rename Slave 1? Have you been enjoying The Book of Boba Fett so far? Let us know in the usual place.

Changing the name to "Underpaid Employee 1" is way better.

They didn’t even try to change the name to something unique.

Not sure why this had to be done. But I guess we want to avoid people who are offended by names of fictional space ships.

I really don’t care either way. Weird hill to die on for either side salvery is a part of the world of Star Wars and also they have to sell toys to kids. Either way is fine

Were people actually offended by this. I feel like these companies like to come up with solutions to things no one thought was a problem

Imagine being invested in either side of the argument on this...

Why would you offended by the name in the first place

BUT ALSO: Why do you care if they change something of so little importance?

Nope. It is and always will be Slave 1.

Firespray Gunship? Shit name.

The word Slave is still a word. It’s not in context of earth? Idk….

1. Slave 1 was always a stupid name
2. Fire spray gunship is a little better
3. Nobody knows it's name anyways
4. Boba Fett isn't important enough for us to even care what his ship is named

@Hulkh8liars - I never understood why it was called Slave 1. Boba Fett, and even Jango Fett didn't own slaves. And its not a slave ship. It's a gunship.

@Hulkh8liars - Amazing. Every word of what you just said was wrong.
Hulkh8liars
Hulkh8liars - 1/13/2022, 12:01 PM
@UncleHarm1 - just because you disagree doesn't mean I'm wrong. We have different taste clearly. subjectively anyone who really really wants the ship of a minor character to have slave in it cares too much about nonsense
Hulkh8liars
Hulkh8liars - 1/13/2022, 12:04 PM
@UncleHarm1 - They can rename the ship unicorn sprinkles and most viewers will never know or care

Disney taking off all the edge of their properties. Mos Espa doesnt even look like how it did in A New Hope, everything looks polished and empty

@Matchesz - that might be because you’re thinking of Mos Eisley. Mos Espa was first introduced in Phantom Menace.

@Matchesz - mos espa is not in a new hope. Also have you seen marvel lately? The shows and films are more mature than ever.

Hopefully they rerelease The Prequels and change Anakin from a Slave to something else because him being called a Slave is also a bit problematic.
