Then you don't know the movies very well. Leia is the one who pushes the action forward in just about every scene she's in. She's smuggling the death star plans to Obi Wan. In the jail, she shoots the grate to make their escape. In jabba's palace she frees Han then gets captured on purpose to help luke rescue Han and…

Thank you for saying this. That bothered me in the other comment as well, but I was unsure how to address it.
This is actually a sign of progress.
As someone who does stock at Toys R Us, this is straight bullshit. The black collection doesn't "only include" Princess Leia in the slave outfit. It also includes Mara Jade, and Princess Amidala and is introducing Leia in her original outfit. It might also be of note it includes quite a few minor character…
Without being able to see the full packaging for the toy, I'm guessing 4+ is not a depiction of the audience but the safety rating—that the toy has no chokable parts. Few toys identify an age range of the intended audience—Lego rates the difficulty level on some of their sets, and I think some board games do as well,…
Yes. Jabba put her in the same outfit his other dancers were in, to show he had power over her. She then used said outfit (the chain specifically) to frak'ing MURDER him, showing that she had the power.
The problem here is that you're automatically assuming "slave" equals "sex slave", with no evidence that this was the intention. While she was obviously meant to *look* sexy, this assumption sexualizes her predicament even more than the creators may have meant to.
Here is the other Black Series Princess Leia. AGAIN, just because it wasn't in stock at her store, does not mean it's not available in the world.
They don't have a toy of Chewbacca in a banana hammock because Chewbacca never wore a banana hammock in any of the movies.
Yeah, kind of offensive story concept without actual supporting evidence. Without an un-edited version of photo, it's not even clear what part IS photoshopped. What if she's just a different looking lady? Cool, now her modeling career is fucked because there's a news story about how unnatural she looks and how…
To be honest, I'd rather have the whole of the Quest for Glory series than this. I had many a grand memory playing those games as well as the Space Quest series on my ancient PCs. And it turns out that at GOG, you can get them all cheap! Still, this homage definitely looks well done.
Yes, this is a pretty bad Photoshop job. Classic case of someone who understands what the "Liquify Tool" does, but not how to properly use it. In this case, I would say that there is little doubt that this was a blatant attempt to distort this woman's shape.
That said. I only have two things to add to this.
First. The…
I don't think you know what Photoshop looks like. I style products for a living and that is very obviously a missy mannequin photo serving double duty as the plus sized photo; it's a cost saving measure just like when companies color change products. That specific style of mannequin has a gap between her legs based on…
I get your frustration. I replied to your post on the Limited thing and I appreciate your view point. Hopefully more people will hear you.
Ok, I probably should have done this before hand....but...
I went to the website in question to see if I could get a better idea of what might be happening (just to cover by butt in case I was wrong.)
The first thing I noticed on this page was....yup, there are a lot more jeans on the page than the two highlighted…
as a fellow graphic designer i would like to say thank you...
and yes, sadly, that's a terrible masking job... either their designer sucks or their designer was being screamed at and rushed to get it done...
As someone who works in a small design/development firm (one developer, one designer, one part time non-official developer) thank you for pointing this out. I'm HR and the Office Manager. All my photoshop is self taught and nowhere above a professional level. However, we've had moments where on a deadline/very…
