When a Starship Gets a New Spruce‑Up
For anyone who binge‑watched Star Wars (or, you know, binge‑played Star Wars), the name “Slave I” rings bells. It’s that infamous chariot of the notorious Boba Fett. But this week, at the first LEGO Con that actually took place in June, the whole thing got a makeover.
From “Slave” to “Firespray” (and a Boba Fett twist)
During the event, fans were handed a little surprise: the Slave I was officially christened the Boba Fett’s Starship (75312) for the new LEGO Star Wars Mandalorian line. And guess what? The comic universe is playing along, but with its own quirky spin.
In a press release that highlighted the ongoing “War of the Bounty Hunters” crossover, it turns out the Firespray name is the secret branding for the re‑imagined Slave I. So, there’s a new badge of honor on the shackled hull.
Fan Reaction (and that never‑ending petition)
- Some readers are moody about losing the classic “Slave I” moniker.
- Others thought this was a brilliant way to keep Boba Fett’s vibe alive.
- There’s an ongoing fan‑fueled petition asking the developers to keep the original name in the comics.
All in all, the universe is rolling with change. If you’re a fan of the original, keep the spirit alive with that “Slave I” tattoo, and for the rest of us, let’s chat about that shiny new “Firespray” next time we hit the skies.
Boba Fett & Crew Make a Splash in the New Comic
Why Boba Fett is Back in the Spotlight
Get ready to see your favorite bounty hunter in a fresh light! The latest comic drops a sneak peek into Boba Fett’s post-Empire Strikes Back escapade, where he’s on a mission to hand over Han Solo’s carbonated body to none other than Jabba the Hutt. It’s a slick blend of nostalgia and a new adventure that’s sure to entertain.
The Line‑up that Will Get Your Attention
The cover showcases some of the galaxy’s most infamous hunters, paired with their iconic ships. The artwork smartly follows the Firespray‑31 class naming convention, even when it’s referencing the famous “Slave I” model. Here’s the full list:
- Bossk & The Hound’s Tooth
- Boba Fett & Firespray
- IG‑88 & IG‑2000
- Zuckuss & The Mist Hunter
- Valance Beilert & The Broken Wing
- Dengar & The Punishing One
Why the Firespray Name Matters
Although it might feel like a surprise, the “Firespray” designation is officially part of the Firespray‑31‑class patrol & attack craft lineage. It ties the characters straight to their trusty vessels—no mislabeling, just pure galactic logic.
Will It Make It in the Big Astro‑Movie?
Keep an eye on the September release date for the comic, where Boba’s journey after the last lightsaber duel will unfold. Fans can expect a blend of pulse‑racing action, clever wordplay, and that classic Star Wars grit you love.
Stay tuned, fellow space‑fans—we’ve got more behind‑the‑scenes fun coming soon.
Bounty Hunter Blues and Qi’ra’s Sneaky Overhaul
Alright, folks, buckle up. The new The Book of Boba Fett is on the horizon, slated to hit Disney+ in December. But before you pop the popcorn, let’s break down what’s actually going on in this Wild West of the galaxy.
Things Don’t Turn Out Like the Script
Picture this: Boba Fett, fresh out of the dusty show The Mandalorian, thinks he’s got his own path. But nope—Qi’ra swoops in and hijacks him faster than a white rabbit in a costume. That’s the opening act of a wild chain where ballads of power shift from one frothy hand to another.
The Cast of Characters
- Temuera Morrison back on the holodeck as our star Boba Fett
- Ming‑Na Wen delivers Fennec’s quirky charm
- Executive producers: Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, and Robert Rodríguez—the dream squad bringing that extra sparkle
Will the Plot Pan out?
Here’s the kicker: will The Book of Boba Fett actually reflect the twists we’ve seen, or will it slide by with a lukewarm shrug? We’re all clamping our eyes. Trust this series to pick up on every drama pulse—after all, it sits squarely inside The Mandalorian’s timeline.
Bonus: Anime Sneak Peek
And if you’re craving more weirdness, a fresh “Star Wars: Visions” anime montage is out now—an electrifying look at a galaxy you never before scratch your head at.
That’s the lowdown. Keep your lightsabers close and enjoy the binge. May the force (and the humor) be with you.
