Space-faring whale-like creatures are an extremely common science-fiction trope.
Space whales that paid a key plot role in Rebels and now again in Ahsoka? If all you’ve watched is the Prequel and Sequel movies (not even the OT?!) then there are going to be an awful lot of Star Wars memes you might not get.
‘So long and thanks for all the fish!’ is what the dolphins say in the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, when they leave the Earth and fly off into space, shortly before the Earth’s destruction to make way for a hyperspace bypass.
The Purrgil’s in Star Wars are also a species of space-faring cetaceans and OP is making a meme linking the two.
Me when Prequel fans lament that the Sequels were awful and ruined Star Wars and it’s all the fault of the youth for liking this sort of thing: ‘I’ve heard that before’.
The Schwartz is strong with this one.
I think for the Lego set it’s more that the average casual fan is more likely to recognise the name ‘Boba Fett’ than the name ‘Slave 1’. They’re a commercial enterprise and they want to sell these things to a wide audience, and marketing it under a name that was never mentioned on-screen in the movies wouldn’t exactly make that easier.
The whole thing is a bit of a storm in a teacup.
