Carrie Fisher Thinks Controversy Over Princess Slave Leia Toys is ‘Stupid’

Back in November, artist J. Scott Campbell announced that Disney is seriously considering wiping out future "Slave Leia" toys from its product merchandise. Now, Carrie Fisher said in a recent interview that she thinks that people getting caught up in the Slave Leia controversy is just stupid.

Fox 29 released a story this summer about one father's outrage upon seeing a Slave Leia action figure of the toy aisles at Target. Since then, Slave Leia toys and memorabilia have been the source of a lot of controversy, but Carrie Fisher has finally weighed in with her opinion on the matter.

In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal, Fisher had this to say:

"There’s been some debate recently about whether there should be no more merchandise with you in the “Return of the Jedi” bikini.

I think that’s stupid.

To stop making the merchandise?

The father who flipped out about it, “What am I going to tell my kid about why she’s in that outfit?” Tell them that a giant slug captured me and forced me to wear that stupid outfit, and then I killed him because I didn’t like it. And then I took it off. Backstage."

Her blunt truth on the matter is certainly heartwarming, but whether it will change the atmosphere surrounding the toys has yet to be seen.
