Now new promotional materials are showing Boba Fett's ship is being referred to as "Firespray," Bounding Into Comics revealed, further noting that Disney had put out a notice that fans will see several spaceships in an upcoming comic book series, "Star Wars: War of The Bounty Hunters." No official explanation had been offered but insiders speculated that Disney planned to completely obliterate the use of "Slave 1" and was preparing for this move by alerting vendors. The ship model was later sold as "Boba Fett Starship." This was based on Disney's order to Lego to stop selling its model of the ship as "Slave 1," Breitbart News reported. There has been no massive backlash over the name of the starship, which first appeared in 1980's "The Empire Strikes Back," but in June rumblings of a complete name change began. For 40 years Star Wars bounty hunter Boba Fett’s starship has been known as "Slave 1" but now it appears Disney has dumped that name in anticipation of backlash over the use of the word "slave."
