The fandom really couldn't care less what the license holder thinks is 'cannon'.
Also the mouse is a whore for China money. Kind of a dumb whore, considering fans pay out the ass for fan service, but so long as they make a profit and HR is happy they will do whatever.
Disney's all about the $$$ and always has been, they do what panders to each market/demographic. If you're expecting anything actually moral of them and not just fake woke shit while the company is unethical in so many ways, the joke's on you honestly.
while their heart is likely in the right place, this seems like a not very well thought through plan.
If the reason they changed the lego slave 1 ship's set name away from that name is because kids were getting porn results in their google searches,
there are really 2 ways they could have done this
1. remove slave 1 from the title and such and have it strictly be "boba's ship"
2. remove slave 1 from just the title and product name but have slave 1 in the backend for google search results
logically both of these options make it more likely that a child gets porn sites in their first page of results as in the case of
1. the lego links are just fully gone, thinning the total amount of "reputable" links (which would include porn sites that dont have a bad rap with google,) thus making it far more likely a child sees a porn link since thats already a know issue
2. the lego links are prioritized lower than porn since lego has "slave" in backend tags but the porn will probably have titled
while it will likely cause some kids to search up "boba's ship" instead of "slave 1," i have my doubts about it helping the issue at all
it will very likely lower the total amount of kids at risk of having a porn link shown in their search for specifically this lego item, however it will likely HEAVILY increase the chances that a kid that IS as risk of seeing a porn link in their search DOES get a porn link in their searches. That to my eye isnt fixing the issue, its making a the issue into a slightly different arguably equivalent issue
