Apparently, players will be able to tog out as Slave Leia in Star Wars: The Old Republic. Here's a slavegirl character doing a hootchie-kootchie on Youtube. You can check it out here. I have also heard there is a "Flirt" option for NPCs. Seems likely that actual players might do more than flirt. As indicated in an earlier post, there are indications that Stars Wars: The Old Republic's owners might be worried about that.
So my flying monkey brought home a link about Slave Girl Leia, which didn't seem to productive at first glance ... a discussion on what appears to be an official forum of the Star Wars: The Old Republic online RP game. It starts off innocently enough, with an RPer asking where she can get a sexy slavegirl outfit for her character. There are a couple of reasonable sorts of responses, then long about the fifth post the mod rushes in and locks the thread on the grounds that"We ask that everyone hold off on submitting feedback until they have experienced gameplay on Public Test." Check it out here.
Seemed kind of abrupt to me, then the penny dropped. Star Wars is not exactly Gor, but let's face it, the Web is FULL of visual evidence that fantasies about Slave Leia are pretty much all about sex slavery. Or heroic rescues from sex slavery. Often, both! (See above, and below.)
So, Star Wars probably wants to attract that wonderful, mythical FAMILY audience that corporations love so much, and they are probably EXTREMELY leery of all the RP that Slave Leia is likely to spawn, so they're EXTREMELY skittish about it. I mean, it COULD be that the thread was shut down purely for the technical reasons that were cited, but it sure seemed awfully HASTY to me. I'm betting, corporate stuffed shirts gave out orders to put the nix on the sexy slave girl stuff.
Good luck with that, corporate stuffed shirts.
HAD to include this image, it's the best Slave Leia fake I've seen by a long shot. Found it on the NVM discussion board. Attempts to chase down the actual origin proved futile except for several other discussion boards and pic posts, despite the fact that there was a cartouche on the original image that said, "faked by HM." Googling the image, the term "faked by HM," "fakes by HM," "photomanips" and "HM" all proved futile, as did Googling the cartouche that said "faked by HM." So, whoever you are, HM ... good work! There's a lot of other good Slave Leia art on the NVM board and elsewhere on the Web, have fun checking it out.

There are well-developed fandoms on Second Life for Star Wars roleplay, Star Trek roleplay and many others. (There’s even a fandom for Star Wars/Gorean crossover roleplay. Heh. Slave Leia strikes again.)
What this means is, if you want to enjoy a fantasy of a bound, gagged Slave Leia dancing naked for a barbaric warrior, or being sexually used by a barbaric warrior, you can probably get that worked out pretty easily. As the illustrations here demonstrate. It was a TRIVIAL thing for me to get a female model in a Princess Leia avvie to dance and fur for my barbaric warrior. It would be a trivial thing for most who know Gor or Star Wars well, because the coin of the realm in the land of roleplay is knowing your role.

No more dreaming “what if” about your favorite movie characters. YOU CAN MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE ON SECOND LIFE!!!! In a pretend-y sort of way, granted, but hell, it’s so much more fun than watching a movie and just wishing it were done right, it almost defies description.
But of course, me being me, I’m gonna try.
