hold up! I just figured out an amicable solution, upon review of ROTJ I've determined a few things that are relevant to this conversation
1: you never see Leah "forced" to wear the bikini, for all we know she was wearing that under her disguise. or she may have been offered a wardrobe to chose her clothes from in the palace, we don't know for sure.
2: in no way can Leah be interpreted as a "slave" she's at best a prisoner, did you see her do any work? if the term "slave" is an issue I think it's not applicable here.
3. it's hot in Jabba's palace, everyone is sweaty as hell, so it stands to reason you don't want to be dressed in the heavy Boush outfit, the tasteful bikini is the way to go. Jabba was helping her out by not giving her heat stroke.
4. given Jabba's reputation he was most likely going to sell her back to the rebels for ransom. he is a business man, slug, thing...
so she'd be classified as a political prisoner, if her hair and makeup are any indication she was being well taken care of.
5. as far as the chain goes, where do you keep you prisoners? you can't let this rebel girl, who's dating a guy that screwed you over in a business deal, wander your home!?! hell first chance she got she killed Jabba! she was clearly dangerous.
