    You know? That is not bad at all. Not bad at all. Why not? Why not the parallel universe version? Maybe they could use the chance to fix the dumpster fire the prequels were as well and perhaps even go along with Darth Jar-Jar.

      What’re you talking about? This is totally accurate. Han always wore a crop top!

      I mean, nor does his. It’s more equal than the original in this sense.

        In the future, you don’t need pockets. You cram your credit token under your ballsack.

      Look, it’s in space. It was long, long ago in a galaxy far away. You just can’t see the pockets, they’re space pockets, much cooler than regular pockets.

    I’m not sure whether whoever made this is aware that the skimpy outfit wasn’t something Leia chose to wear, this was. Now I don’t mind canon-bending Jabba the Hutt into being gay or bi but “equality is when slave outfit” nah I’ll pass.

      In the movie universe it was a creepy evil guy who made her wear the slave outfit, and doesn’t make sense to get mad at a fictional character. In real life the people making the movie decide what outfits people wear, and we’re allowed to have opinions about that.

        If we carry this to the meta level: The same people also decided that Leia kills Jabba in that very outfit and generally break a ton of damsel in distress tropes. Now you could say “But Ellen Ripley is just as if not even more badass, why not do that”, well, then you wouldn’t be messaging that getting demeaned by your captors doesn’t change anything about your capacity to badass, that the outfit, or Jabba’s general grossness, does not need to have power over your mind, just as horror doesn’t have power over Ripley’s mind. And you can’t just turn Star Wars into body horror so it has to have different hero characteristics.

        I see nothing wrong with that message.

        The same thing gender-swapped, though? Wouldn’t have the same impact as men typically get sexualised differently. It’s certainly been done in a sense, though, e.g. in Pulp Fiction.
