For a while now, fandoms have adopted a rallying cry around the idea of childhoods—or more accurately, childhood memories—being tainted because of a creator’s or corporation’s mishandling of a beloved character, cartoon, or film series.

It’s an ironic call to arms given how many times the overreaction of a particular segment of fans with an inflated sense of entitlement has spoiled things for their fellow devotees. And unfortunately, a case of such fan-based rashness might be popping up again.

Reports, such as the one posted by Bellosh101 in the Star Wars community, have been swirling this week about an alleged Disney-imposed moratorium on depictions of Princess Leia in her “slave” costume—a metal bikini top and silk loincloth—from 1983’s Return of the Jedi. The speculation originated thanks to a series of Facebook comments by J. Scott Campbell, a comic book artist who has been doing variant covers for Marvel Comics’ new Star Wars series, who said the film property’s owner, Disney, was eliminating references to the attire as it related to merchandizing and marketing.

“Disney is already well on it’s way to wiping out the “slave” outfit from any future products period. You will NOT see and [sic] future merchandising featuring the slave outfit ever again. Trust me. … “I’ve heard it from two sources. We can’t even draw Leia in a sexy pose at Marvel, let alone in that outfit! We also had a 3-D SL statue killed at a major manufacturer because there will no longer be any SL merchandise unsure”

Upvoted reached out to Lucasfilm concerning the truth behind Campbell’s claims of a brass bra ban for Leia, but the Disney-owned production company did not respond. Other outlets reporting on this also have been unable to confirm the information. But none of that has stopped some Star Wars lovers from making the jump to outrage speed.

As Campbell’s assertions spread, hate and anger (and we all know where that leads) have been flowing from a certain type of Star Wars fan in response. Sadly, those responses are about what you would expect.

All this “slave outfit” talk also comes on the heels of a chat in Interview magazine between Carrie Fisher—the real-life woman whose then-27-year-old, real-life body modeled the real-life movie costume in question—and Daisy Ridley, the female lead in the upcoming sequel, Star Wars: The Force Awakens. In the article, Fisher’s biggest piece of Star Wars-related advice to Ridley is:

“Listen! I am not a sex symbol, so that’s an opinion of someone. I don’t share that. … You should fight for your outfit. Don’t be a slave like I was. … You keep fighting that slave outfit.”

Even if Disney isn’t distancing the Star Wars series away from that image of Leia, maybe it’s time that it—and the rest of us—should. That doesn’t mean “erasing” it from the Star Wars legacy, but it does mean putting it in the proper perspective.

Here are three reasons to search your feelings and let go of your hate—and anger—over the possibility of a world that doesn’t have the need to fill toy aisles with creepy Slave Leia action figures.

1. The Costume Will Still be in the Movie in Context

So far, there’s no reason to believe that this will ever turn into a case of Han shot first.

Context is everything, and in Return of the Jedi, Leia’s wardrobe is the result of of a critical story point—she’s been captured by Jabba and forced to be palace eye candy. Within the movie, the costume has the proper significance. But as user charlespdx accurately points out, when the costume is removed from that setting, it’s looked at in a completely different light.

Don’t buy it? Then why doesn’t Ross ask Rachel to choke out a giant space grub when she dresses as Leia in that famous episode of Friends? Or explain the following clip with Olivia Munn?

2. The Costume Doesn’t Make Her a Strong Character

Defenders of the metal bikini talk about how Leia is such an ass-kicker in the costume, using the chain around her neck to choke to death Jabba the Hutt. The fact is, she doesn’t beat down that space gangster because of what she’s been forced to wear; she does it despite of it.

Ultimately, such a commanding character as Leia shouldn’t be visually defined by attire that was used to debase her and strip her of her agency, even if she is eventually triumphant. That’s like a New England Patriots fan hanging a poster of Tom Brady throwing an interception on his or her bedroom wall.

3. You Can Still Dress Up in the Costume

No one will be cracking down on cosplayers at conventions who find it empowering to dress as Leia in metallic bikini and little else. Nor will there be Disney-branded Stormtrooper units breaking down bedroom doors to stop couples in the midst of their Star Wars-themed, sexual role play. But Disney and Lucasfilm don’t have create the licensed merchandise to support your fetishism, sexual or otherwise.

And that’s OK.

Just because a scene or a prop becomes elevated to the used-much-too-frequently status of iconic with fans doesn’t mean it needs to reimagined as Lego playsets, bedsheets, or waffle irons. Marsellus Wallace’s rape in Pulp Fiction is one of those scenes that could be considered iconic in the context of the film. But no one should think slapping it on a toddler’s onsie or having players re-enact it in a video game is a good idea.
