5-Year-Old Girl Thinks Princess Leia’s Slave Costume Is Awesome

A few years ago, the online video masses couldn’t stop watching the 3-year-old girl explaining the plot of Star Wars in just under two minutes. Now, they have a new adorableness to enjoy from a 5-year-old girl who thinks the Slave Leia costume is fashionable.

The unnamed girl is the daughter of YouTuber Adam Buxton (who boasts around 50,000 subscribers). Buxton’s daughter flips through a Star Wars book (which may be something like this one) and says Princess Leia’s slave costume is a “prettier look for her” than her Boushh bounty hunter garb. The YouTuber’s daughter declares she would like to wear it. Buxton explains how some people think it was demeaning to force Leia to wear the outfit, but his daughter dismisses these critics and said she’d escape Jabba’s palace and “just keep wearing that.”

Buxton worked with UK’s BAFTA and Webby-award winning animation production company The Brothers McLeod to produce the one-and-a-half-minute clip. The video has currently received over 1.7 million views as of this writing.

The video has caused an inflammatory comment war in the section below the video because of the long-established controversial nature of Leia’s outfit since it debuted in The Return of the Jedi in 1983.

However, it seems most viewers love the gumption and carefree attitude of Buxton’s daughter; the clip has over 8500 likes as opposed to just over 900 dislikes.
