Princess Leya Joins the Star Bowl Team
June 25, 2013 by dracs
When playing contact sports it is important to wear protective clothing and few things will give you the same protection offered by the latest player to appear in Star Bowl, who is sporting a familiar hair style and armoured bikini.
The beautiful Princess Leya has now been unlocked on the Star Bowl IndieGoGo page and is now presented to us in all her beauty.
Her design is suitably evocative of the iconic character which it draws influence from, as well as having a style of its own with its more cartoony proportions. Although dressed like that she probably won't be very protected from the rougher elements of fantasy football, that's not to say the outfit won't prove useful on the pitch. After all, it might make it a good deal more difficult for the other players to keep their eyes on the ball.
Will you support this IndieGoGo campaign for a team from a galaxy far, far way?
I’m kind of disappointed that one of the strongest female characters in scifi history (hell, cinematic history for that matter) has been reduced to a pinup with terrible taste. (hopefully wordpress won’t swallow this link) http://www.tor.com/blogs/2012/08/can-we-talk-about-why-we-really-love-princess-leia
Any interest I might have had in this project is dead. Glad I never pledged.
Hear hear!
I’m actually angrier at this than I thought.
It looks like one of those “Bratz” dolls… This is SO demeaning, not only to women but also to the gaming community that supposedly likes this.
That is a terrible figure and a god awful rip off.
Porncess Lay-her, more like.
wasnt that in the movie Zack and Miri Make a Porno?
….having just surfaced from a good discussion about how gamers shouldn’t feel the need to dictate to each other about what they “do’ with a rule set/system…..this model makes me feel I’m a hypocrite……why does this awful depiction of Princess Leia cause me more rage than Warren having his way with history….I think I may have to get a few docos out from VideoEzy on the way home tonight….for a reality checkpoint. But I just hate this model so much……I feel its verging on repulsive.
Wow, I actually want to contact them and ask them back for the 1:27 of my life they just wasted on that video.
Oh dear…
It’s like suffragettes never happened.
I can’t believe that Disney / Lucas haven’t beaten this thing into the floor yet, they must be slipping.
That sculpt is far too cartoony to my taste.
It’s not just the model it’s the paint job too. The padding on the gusset makes it look like pubic hair. Pubic hair is acceptable on a mini if it isn’t gratuitous, but this is just a stereotypical nerdgasm gone wrong.
I echo the sentiment of a lot of people on this article. At a time when the wargaming community is growing, being perceived positively and attracting more women to the hobby, this feels like a massive step back. If you compare it to the work RAGING HEROS are doing and the plethora of different lines they could have followed for a Leah model, this seems like a missed opportunity as well poor taste. Its only one model tho I guess. Lets hope the rest of the range fairs better.
I’m not opposed to cheesecake, but that’s pretty terrible. And what an ugly head on that thing.
Did Devon Aoki get cast to be the new Leia?
Careful, that’s my pretend celebrity wife you’re talking about. 😉
i don’t understand why if they wanted to go for bikini look why they didn’t use the one from return of the Jedi at least it would of been more tasteful. lets just hope they don’t go down the same root with Chewbacca.
shaved wookie buttocks ewwwww
Chewwie will have the full on 70’s porn star beard and tache with a pant beard Giant Haystacks would be proud of.
Chewnacker
R2-Teabaggin
R2-Dildo…
Google it…
Oh my… they’ve added thrusters ! 🙂
Jah Jah Bonks
That’s a horrifying prospect
As we’re on lucasarts based porn. In Diana Jones and the temple of poon.
