Lego has always tried to be family friendly. Though this probably was Disney. I remember when they refused to release any sets with guns

this was indeed disney, lego just has a thing against modern war because the original owner was against war toys

which actually helped greatly in sales because their biggest customer became Germany and the Germens didn't like war things anymore

yeah, because that's lego's naming scheme now. if a ship has an iconic character attached to it, they include the character in the name.

I could see this as a response to search engines. Look up character name & get their playset kinda thing

as much as it kind of annoys me, this makes a lot of sense to me.

Yeah except for the Razor Crest. Or the Millenium Falcon. Or the Ghost. Or the Tydirium. Or the Death Star. Or the Death Star II.

The general scheme seems to be 'give it the name it has been called onscreen, and then a character related name if it hasn't been named

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

on screen. It's not unique to Slave 1, other ships and vehicles without a specific name on screen get the generic treatment.

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

it appears to be a relatively new naming scheme, started after the razor crest set, but before the luke's x-wing set.

4 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Even that fits into the 'only give it an on screen name's scheme they seem to follow. 'Luke's X-Wing' never had a name on screen other

The Razor crest is called "The Mandalorian Bounty Hunter Transport" on lego.com so they seem to have updated it to the new naming scheme.

Because that's what parents will search for. It's only called Slave 1 in some ancillary products.

Not like most kids know that its name is Slave-I. This makes it a lot easier for parents and kids to find the set they're looking for.

When kids say "I want Boba Fett's Lego ship" most parent's are gonna look for that at the store/online. Lego refers to other ships like this

In fairness a lot of ships are given names that are more recognisable. E.g. "Major Vonreg's TIE" instead of "TIE/Ba Interceptor"

It was never referred to as Slave 1 in the actual movies, was it?

The vast majority of Lego Star Wars sets use generic names like ' Ship' or 'Jedi Cruiser' or similar, especially one off ships.

4 years ago | Likes 23 Dislikes 1

Yeah, but Like didn't name his X-Wing....

It seems like the main determiner is if the name/ship class was said on screen in the movies or not.

It's a great example of how English gets words in the most roundabout ways. Europeans captured pagan slavs, sold them to the Arab world >

> who sold them to Spanish Arabs, who consequently called all slaves "Slava", and so the word came back into Europe in that context.
