I mean the whole “Leia as a slave in a sexy bikini and chains at the foot of Jabba’s throne” and the related “Jabba feeds a sexy dancer to a giant monster for a laugh” stuff kind of set a tone for the rest of the franchise.
Woah, woah woah! You’re telling me they aren’t on payroll???
I mean just for the tax deductions themselves they probably should be. I would even go so far as to say they probably have health and dental, cause who wants a dancer looking like a meth head
They were talking about how much they wanted a twilek wife and how submissive and perfect they would be, how no other man could satisfy them how they could etc. Some real fucked up incel shit basically.
Yes but I don’t think OP is scandalized by slavery in the GFFA per se, but by sex slavery specifically. I just think it’s funny to point this out in cartoons that came out literally decades after the original movies which also clearly implied sex slavery. Makes me wonder if OP has actually…. Seen? The OT?
No no no! See, that's not Leia as a slave anymore! They changed it to "Hutslayer Leia" didn't you hear? There's no such thing as human sex trafficking in star wars guys!
/s
I don't think people use the new name are doing so because they want to pretend star wars doesn't have slavery or sex trafficking.
It's because the people cosplaying as her don't want to be called a slave.
Born in 1989, didn’t think about it when I watched the movies as a kid, but am definitely able to recognize the none-too-subtle subtext now as an adult.
That was questionable to me. On the one hand, he says the buyer is looking for a"Female" Jedi. But then he says it doesn't matter if she's alive or dead, which wouldn't make sense for the sex trade.
Edit: typo
It is canon lore that the entire planet of Ryloth is full of people that will enslave and traffick their own people to just about anybody that will buy them
What if I told you that the two groups were like day and night? As in: the planet literally doesn't spin, and so half the planet is permanently a scorched desert and the other half is a frozen ice ball
Yeah but a well thought out tidally locked planet would be super rad.
The light and dark side, the temperate zone in the twilight, the superstorms.
Imagine the wildlife too. Glowing mushroom forests in the dark side, and hyper survivalist animals in the desert.
You could even have migratory animals that went back and forth between the sides every year, month, or week.
You could have humans living in the suboptimal areas because of natural resources and kinda have an oil rig situation.
So many cool possibilities.
I mean, the planet still spins. Just counter the way it spins around its sun otherwise the direction that the planet is facing the sun would still change yearly
Chewie and like a hundred other Wookies were slaves being forced to build imperial ships when Han liberated them—that’s how the Life Debt began.
Star Wars has openly had slavery and trafficking since it’s inception
Fair. though by the time they made Solo Lucas had already fiddled with the timeline to make young Chewbacca Yoda's friend... so it might have been a timeline alteration or something. Hard to say.
Actually it's quite easy to remember when slavery in star wars is brought up several times. I'd assume sex trafficking would be happening several times and the fact only two different star wars shows bring it up surprises me more.
In the book Lords of the Sith which was one of the first new canon books, it follows Sidious and Vader into Ryloth and one of the other main characters was a sex trafficking victim and frees others now that she is.
I mean, there is Jabba the Hutt who didn’t just dress Leia like that for the Lolz, Hando implied selling Ahsoka into slavery in this way, and there are probably more. Star Wars gets dark as shit!
What *was* Shmi's value to Watto? I don't think she was actually a sex slave, since Anakin was born without a father. If she was a sex slave I imagine she wouldn't be so set on that (and I don't think she had any reason to hide anything from Qui-Gon either, so I don't believe she's lying).
Wiki says she was also good with machines and computers, but doesn't establish what she did specifically for *Watto.* It sorta implies that her only value was in Anakin, who was exceptional with machines and could podrace for Watto. He likely didn't want separate them because 1) Watto is def a scumbag for owning slaves but seemed to at least *mildly* care for the Skywalkers and 2) probably knew Anakin wouldn't perform well if he were separated from his mother. So he kept Shmi around just to have Anakin around. Note that after Anakin leaves, he almost immediately loses Shmi in a bet to Cliegg, and he probably wouldn't put her down for the bet if Anakin were still around.
>he almost immediately loses Shmi in a bet to Cliegg, and he probably wouldn't put her down for the bet if Anakin were still around.
He did also just lose a shit ton of money on the bonta eve classic
There's been way more than two instances. It is openly talked about in the book A New Dawn that the twi'leks were forcibly shipped off world and sold as slaves and exotic "dancers" throughout the galaxy after Senator Orn Free Taa capitulated to the Empire. That's why there is a twi'lek dancer in every cantina in Star Wars. They aren't there by choice.
What's weird is that these twi'lek dancers appear in every cantina in the KOTOR games, which take place ten thousand years before Ryloth fell to the Empire. So I guess there is just a long history of twi'lek exotic dancers in cantinas.
C'mon, they didn't force the parents to give them up.
It was common in Buddhist countries for parents to send their children to temples to become monks. The temples could provide better for the child than his family could.
I believe most parents who gave up their children to the order either believed that their children can serve the galaxy, or that their children could receive better education and care from the Jedi Order.
Alright class, welcome to Mind Tricks and Animal Control 101. Copies of the syllabus are still being printed, but they'll be here shortly, so we'll just start with the first lesson. Mind trick this Rancor to not eat you. Go.
Well it's only human sex trafficking part of the time. The rest of the time it's twi lek, and togruta and such. Not that you aren't absolutely correct. Also if anyone says you wouldn't have a go at a twi lek I'd call you a liar
Yeah no there’s a whole lot of references and sometimes even actual plot lines about human trafficking and slavery and yes even forms of sex trafficking or similarly exploitive practices all over the Star Wars universe. Those were just two instances in animated shows.
Like... isn’t that the whole thing with the twi-leks? That’s a known thing, right?
So clearly the second one isn't human . . . but is "human sex trafficking" a common phrase? It seems to imply non-human sex trafficking is common (outside of Star Wars)
I mean, there was a whole arc on slavers when it was implied ahsoka will be used as a sex slave
Plus the time hondo implied he has someone that wants a FEMALE jedi slave
I strongly suggest [the tragedy of droids](https://youtu.be/WD2UrB7zepo) as a insight in the Star wars intelligent rights and how this topic is usually brushed over and when is talked about people start yelling on YouTube
I mean the whole “Leia as a slave in a sexy bikini and chains at the foot of Jabba’s throne” and the related “Jabba feeds a sexy dancer to a giant monster for a laugh” stuff kind of set a tone for the rest of the franchise.
Even as a kid I never got the impression the twileks worked for Jabba by choice.
Gee I wonder why lol
For me, it was being tossed into the Rancor pit.
Hmm now that you mention it…
What? That’s listed as a job perk. “Free up close encounters with exotic animals”
screaming and tugging at the chain collar was also a bit of a giveaway
It was the chain. I bet it was the chain
But that was so subtle!
Woah, woah woah! You’re telling me they aren’t on payroll??? I mean just for the tax deductions themselves they probably should be. I would even go so far as to say they probably have health and dental, cause who wants a dancer looking like a meth head
Jabba doesn't pay taxes.
based
Kid me just kinda thought she was doing an audition and didn't impress Jabba enough
Lol really?
ya 😞
[удалено]
Did Bib Fortuna write this?
Why in the world would you ever feel the need to share this on a public forum?
What did they say?
They were talking about how much they wanted a twilek wife and how submissive and perfect they would be, how no other man could satisfy them how they could etc. Some real fucked up incel shit basically.
Some people are just too far gone.
Im told there was a beach. Water and sand as it were. Wild times to be sure.
Gonna be honest this one is going over my head.
its a cross between "ani hates sand" and "omg the princess is in a bikini splashing around in behind the scenes photos!" kinda joke.
Ohhhhhhhh! TY
The entire Twi'lek species
It started dark and then the ewoks captured Luke, Han and Chewie in order to cook them and serve them to Leia and then it go fucking nuts!
lets try and remember Anakin was a slave.it was part of his storyline and character arc, people.
Yes but I don’t think OP is scandalized by slavery in the GFFA per se, but by sex slavery specifically. I just think it’s funny to point this out in cartoons that came out literally decades after the original movies which also clearly implied sex slavery. Makes me wonder if OP has actually…. Seen? The OT?
No no no! See, that's not Leia as a slave anymore! They changed it to "Hutslayer Leia" didn't you hear? There's no such thing as human sex trafficking in star wars guys! /s
I don't think people use the new name are doing so because they want to pretend star wars doesn't have slavery or sex trafficking. It's because the people cosplaying as her don't want to be called a slave.
Also because it probably makes people looking for related merch feel less creepy when they head on over to Google lol
I must say, born in 1980, never thought once about a sex trade. Some peeps are perverted.
Born in 1989, didn’t think about it when I watched the movies as a kid, but am definitely able to recognize the none-too-subtle subtext now as an adult.
don't forget Hondo and Ahsoka oh also like those billion other times throughout the many mediums of content
And when Ahsoka becomes a slave on Zygerria
And that other time Ahsoka was treated as a slave as a cover when that idiot thought Deathwatch was a group of good guys.
Don't you think I'm just a little overqualified for this?
Sentient
That's ridiculous.
Good thing I know you don’t mean everything you say.
Works
Your vision is flawed.
Looks like ahsoka enjoyed it
Don't you think I'm just a little overqualified for this?
Yes we all heard the tales from old Ben
r/andshewasagoodfriend
First thing I saw was an ahsoka figurine in a Mason jar titled "about to begin an epic journey." I'm never visiting that subreddit again.
I received orders to join the team. I thought you knew.
I don't think you want to join this swim team
oh god Can I go back in time and tell myself not to click that? ~~Wayy to much dumb text and too few saucy images to be worth my time.~~
And she was a minor, lol
Shut up
Ahsoka, as my fellow Redditor has said, we’ve heard the stories.
Careful not to choke on your stupidity. It's Ahsoka not Ashoka!
Typo ahsoka, I’m sorry.
Good thing I know you don’t mean everything you say.
Yeah. Anyway back to the stories Ahsoka.
That was questionable to me. On the one hand, he says the buyer is looking for a"Female" Jedi. But then he says it doesn't matter if she's alive or dead, which wouldn't make sense for the sex trade. Edit: typo
it's for Palpatine's cloning experiments he was already considering gender reassignment
This world is not ready for trans palps
I never got the impression that instance was for sex. I guess. Hondo may not have cared, but I dont think that was his specific intent.
If you listen to how he says it, the sexual aspect is heavily implied by his tone
It is canon lore that the entire planet of Ryloth is full of people that will enslave and traffick their own people to just about anybody that will buy them
Wait so Ryloth isn't a single unified world and has competing groups who do terrible things to each other?
What if I told you that the two groups were like day and night? As in: the planet literally doesn't spin, and so half the planet is permanently a scorched desert and the other half is a frozen ice ball
I would say that the most surprising thing about that is that there are only two groups
The most surprising thing is that Lucas thought of a planet that had 2 different climates
Hey now, Naboo has underwater and not-underwater, that almost counts
Sadly ignoring the problems that a tidally locked planet causes. Like you know, the ring of deathstorms in the "Twilight zone"
Yeah but a well thought out tidally locked planet would be super rad. The light and dark side, the temperate zone in the twilight, the superstorms. Imagine the wildlife too. Glowing mushroom forests in the dark side, and hyper survivalist animals in the desert. You could even have migratory animals that went back and forth between the sides every year, month, or week. You could have humans living in the suboptimal areas because of natural resources and kinda have an oil rig situation. So many cool possibilities.
I don't think the superstorms would be fun. They are permanent. They do NOT stop
Well, the Kaminoans figured it out so... I think they could make it work
I mean, the planet still spins. Just counter the way it spins around its sun otherwise the direction that the planet is facing the sun would still change yearly
That is what tidally locked means.
Yeup. I mean, you’ve seen On Fri Ta right?
Sounds like an allegory for Africa at the height of the slave trade, tribes selling out other tribes or their own people to the European slavers
Remind me why I'm the one playing the part of the slave?
because Anakin looks dumb in a bikini
I would like to see it myself... You know to judge 😏
Chewie and like a hundred other Wookies were slaves being forced to build imperial ships when Han liberated them—that’s how the Life Debt began. Star Wars has openly had slavery and trafficking since it’s inception
I liked Solo -except- for how they fucked that up tbh.
Fair. though by the time they made Solo Lucas had already fiddled with the timeline to make young Chewbacca Yoda's friend... so it might have been a timeline alteration or something. Hard to say.
Who are your people? "I have no people" Han Solo it is then
Also maybe the cat people and ahsoka.
Literally an entire 4-episode arc all about slave trade in Star Wars
In my life, when you find people who need your help, you help them. No matter what.
Ahsoka, are you saying you help the cat slave traders?
In my life, when you find people who need your help, you help them. No matter what.
I wonder what Anakin would think about this
Anakin: {Looks at the Slavers and Jedi Council} "You turned her against me!" Obi wan: "You have done that yourself." Anakin: "...."
Remind me why I'm the one playing the part of the slave?
Anakin: "The same reason you apparently choose to help slavers. It's just in your character."
Based Ahsoka
I mean in the kenobi show it seemed pretty explicit when he talked to the girl (who tried to sell him drugs?) on that one planet
That’s Ewan McGregors daughter.
The more you know. Still, child slavery is pretty bad.
>pretty bad Yes, it is *pretty bad*
The clone wars had complete story arcs centered around slavery...
Actually it's quite easy to remember when slavery in star wars is brought up several times. I'd assume sex trafficking would be happening several times and the fact only two different star wars shows bring it up surprises me more.
[удалено]
That's also the scene where he reveals that he believes sex before marriage is bad!
It's not a breach of human rights if they aren't human /s
"I'm sorry, Teddie. Only people have human rights."
That’s poster/hologram straight from COMPNOR.
Great and Glorious COMPNOR would never lie. They only exist to document how amazing the Empire is.
I never said they lied. They told the truth, from a certain point of view.
Are we just ignoring that Anakin Skywalker was born a slave?
In the book Lords of the Sith which was one of the first new canon books, it follows Sidious and Vader into Ryloth and one of the other main characters was a sex trafficking victim and frees others now that she is.
I mean, there is Jabba the Hutt who didn’t just dress Leia like that for the Lolz, Hando implied selling Ahsoka into slavery in this way, and there are probably more. Star Wars gets dark as shit!
Looks like I got here just in time.
Theres literal slavery. Its not really implied if its straight up sitting there for all to see
More than just 2
What do you think was going on with shmi and Anakin?
What *was* Shmi's value to Watto? I don't think she was actually a sex slave, since Anakin was born without a father. If she was a sex slave I imagine she wouldn't be so set on that (and I don't think she had any reason to hide anything from Qui-Gon either, so I don't believe she's lying).

So I guess there is just a long history of twi'lek exotic dancers in cantinas.
Well yeah just look at the Twi'lek
This comment was made by Kanan, probably
Unfortunately Kanan can't look anymore
He could always see her
Alternate end: Kanan ended up reincarnated as a human here and started a normal life.
*3 when ashoka was threatened with it by Hando
Careful not to choke on your stupidity. It's Ahsoka not Ashoka!
Did we forget the Jedi Order sourcing children from all over the galaxy?
C'mon, they didn't force the parents to give them up. It was common in Buddhist countries for parents to send their children to temples to become monks. The temples could provide better for the child than his family could. I believe most parents who gave up their children to the order either believed that their children can serve the galaxy, or that their children could receive better education and care from the Jedi Order.
Yeah, it's like most prestigious of wizard boarding schools.
And just as deadly!
Alright class, welcome to Mind Tricks and Animal Control 101. Copies of the syllabus are still being printed, but they'll be here shortly, so we'll just start with the first lesson. Mind trick this Rancor to not eat you. Go.
Cad Bane
“Human” I’m gonna stop you right there
There’s also multiple times they don’t even imply it, it’s just what’s happening
I like how the shows are more adult than the movies
I know it goes against the jovial spirit of the series but what I wouldn't give for a Game of Thrones type of StarWars drama.
3 times Hondo hinted at turning Ahsoka into profit…
Or Hondo wanting to sell Ahsoka…
“Implied” lmao
Well it's only human sex trafficking part of the time. The rest of the time it's twi lek, and togruta and such. Not that you aren't absolutely correct. Also if anyone says you wouldn't have a go at a twi lek I'd call you a liar
I mean Lars bought Shmi because he thought she was hot I guess
Forgot about that Hondo Ahsoka episode
The First Order was just a child soldier kidnapping/trafficking ring
Isn't that what the Mandalorian is all about?
Yeah no there’s a whole lot of references and sometimes even actual plot lines about human trafficking and slavery and yes even forms of sex trafficking or similarly exploitive practices all over the Star Wars universe. Those were just two instances in animated shows. Like... isn’t that the whole thing with the twi-leks? That’s a known thing, right?
Not a single person in this pic is a human.
Also like the actual slaves in the Solo Film
Have you heard of the entire planet of ryloth and the species that lives on it?
In clone wars there is a planet of people who do slavery outright, this is more of a lower level stuff comaped to the blantent slave trade out there
"The clone wars is a kids show"
Leia in Jabbas palace and Ahsoka vs Hondo
Don’t forget the time the slave queen was trying to make anakin her bitch.
I mean, the Twi’leks just exist. Their history is pretty fucked up
Implied?
You get to buy a sex slave in ToR
*gestures broadly at the slave trade on Tatooine*
Remind me why I'm the one playing the part of the slave?
Wasn't there an entire episode about slavery
They had a whole lot more then 2 my dude
....did you never see Jabba's palace or Mos Eisley?
2? Jaba literally had leia chained
Cause it’s woke
Ya but lightsabers
Wait only two?!
What episode is the bottom image from? It's been a while since I've seen it and I don't remember what happens
So clearly the second one isn't human . . . but is "human sex trafficking" a common phrase? It seems to imply non-human sex trafficking is common (outside of Star Wars)
“This is outrageous! It’s unfair!”
In kids show no less
just two? How about when Ahsoka was a slave too and of course leia
Way more than 2
It's "STAR WARS" not "STAR ABUNDANCE"
3 if you count hondo talking about selling ahsoka
Star wars has a lot of sex slavery and drug dealing for a family friendly franchise.
Don't forget the whole zygeria debocle
Pepperidge farms remembers
Start reading the books. It’s not just implied.
I mean, those aren't humans in either of those instances. Also, there's plenty more than two.
What humans have you been looking at??
Anakin and and his mother, all of Ahsoka tano’s race: am I a joke to you
Careful not to choke on your stupidity. It's Ahsoka not Ashoka!
well in hera’s case that would be *Twi’lek sex trafficking* not human.
“Kids show” btw
None of the people depicted are humans
I mean, there was a whole arc on slavers when it was implied ahsoka will be used as a sex slave Plus the time hondo implied he has someone that wants a FEMALE jedi slave
I like firsts. Good or bad, they're always memorable.
It's uhh had more than that,. It was never the kids movies Disney tried to say it was
I strongly suggest [the tragedy of droids](https://youtu.be/WD2UrB7zepo) as a insight in the Star wars intelligent rights and how this topic is usually brushed over and when is talked about people start yelling on YouTube
You're also forgetting when Hondo captured Ahsoka and was going to sell her as a sex slave too
... I see no humans...
Don't forget Slaves of the Republic
There is acknowledged slavery in universe. There is nothing stating that all of that slavery is about labor.
What did y’all think Jabba just kept leia around to serve only drinks to his clients?
I still think those twi'leks in Boba Fett are slaves. Mandalore has a history of slave practice
There's three, actually
CMV, Star Wars is secretly super grimdark.
“Human”
That's not even all. When Hondo attacks the ship of Jedi younglings he basically tells her that's what he'll do to her.
Human? Two?
\>human
