She wasn't called 'Slave Leia' back in the time of the O/T. That's a name that came about much later. The problem with objecting to the 'look' (or is it more the name?) in my opinion, is multiple;

1) It ignores the character Jabba is supposed to be - a scummy bad guy who doesn't care about anyone other than himself, and who likes to humiliate his victims.
2) It focuses on sex, while ignoring the class difference - he refers to her constantly as 'Princess'. It's clear that the class issue is more important to him than a sexual one (does he even like humans sexually?!) and he just wants to bring a royal down and humiliate them.
3) If Leia is being 'objectified' (which some claim she is). Then what the hell is happening to Han? He is *literally* an object hanging in Jabba's palace! Does anyone complain about that? No.
