Essential Characters Poll - What if we started all over again?

Boushh Leia. She barely missed the cut in my first list.

I don't think it's possible to have one figure that can be used for both Boushh Leia and Slave Leia.

ROTS

1. Anakin
2. Obi-Wan
3. Palpatine-Senate Duel
4. Gen. Greivous
5. Magnaguard
6. Clone Trooper
7. Cmd. Cody
8. Wookie Warrior
9. Bail Organa
10. Shock Trooper
11. Galactic Marine
12. Kashhyyk Trooper

I'll cast my vote for Boushh as well.

Off-topic, but I wonder why there's not been more "Slave Leia with one or two pieces of the Boushh costume as accessories" throughout SW licensing (or fan art). Slave Leia with the cape, holding the rifle and helmet seems a no-brainer.

ROJ:
- Emperor's Royal Guard
- Endor Rebel Soldier
- Wicket (but NOT Wicket W. Warrick! ;) )
- Lando Skiff Guard
- Han in Trench Coat (with Matrix knee bend action! :p )
- Leia as Jabba's Slave prisoner (maybe add removable Boushh gear?)
- Jedi Luke
- Biker Scout
- Adm. Ackbar
- Gamorrean Guard
- Weequay
- Bib Fortuna

* Beedo! (kidding...)

Hmm... I wonder if anyone recommended that Leia/Boushh idea in this thread before...

Yeah, but you mentioning it on a forum is a bit different from some trading card with the image, or a statue, or something.

Maybe there's been something like that, but I'm coming up with zilch.

Oh, I thought you were killing it by telling Tycho to repost his ROTS list without Kit Fisto. Personally I think ROTS Kit Fisto is ugly and weird and I don't want one, but it definitely looks different enough to warrant being recognized as different, unless you want to do this extra head/hands thing. I don't like stretching that idea myself tho', then you get into this "well why wouldn't they pack all of Han's looks into 1 figure" argument that is never going to happen from a business perspective.

So, let me know which figure you would like between Endor Rebel Soldier and Leia Boushh.

---

LEIA BOUSHH, sorry Endor Rebel but you guys just didn't do enough in the film to warrant it over Leia Boushh.

I doubt Lucasfilm wants people to think about how Leia went from bounty hunter disguise to slave outfit, it's a bit grotesque to realize our heroine was forced to disrobe and put on a fetish outfit to humiliate her and please Jabba. Even the most chaste possible outcome to that thought process ends in something intensely unpleasant - in our world that's a definite sexual assault charge at the very least.

Yeah, especially since Jabba's henchmen would not be the least bit concerned with Leia's privacy or sense of dignity during the whole process. It's best to just not push people's minds in that direction.

It was tastefully described in the tales from jabba's palace. Leia was thrown into the rooms with all the other dancing girls of some of which were slaves. They provided her with the costume and strongly suggested she goes along with it. They'd seen Oola killed. Then Leia was given to boba fett for a reward to him. But Fett had been taught to be respectful and did not harass her. Leia actually tried to hire him to rescue Han but he refused. He would not cross jabba and he was expecting luke

That was the beginning of the end for Boba Fett as a character. I'm glad Lucas sorta undid it with the "ladies man Fett" in ROTJ:SE. Not that I want the characters to be sleazy and disturbing, but Boba Fett is, well, sleazy and disturbing.

You are mistaken, it is not tasteful. Tales from Jabba's Palace:

Two of the Gamorrean guards took Leia's arms and led her forward toward the throne.
"We have powerful friends," she said as they shoved her up on Jabba's dais. "You're going to regret this."
"I'm sure," Jabba said. He pressed his lips close to her and extended his tongue, and Max wondered if he intended to eat her.
"Play," Jabba commanded.
Max dropped his cup and scrambled toward his organ.
As the band launched into "Ode to a Radioactive Ruin," two dancing girls stripped off Leia's clothes and gave her a skimpy gold outfit to wear.

---

She's not in another room, she's in the main hall. She's not given a choice, she's stripped in front of everyone and given the bikini as her only choice.

Also, the part about Boba Fett being given Leia is not from Tales from Jabba's Palace, it's from Tales of the Bounty Hunters which added that "gift to Boba" as a retcon.
