Tha brainless/careless/idgaf attitude of licensors these days is just shit. Even if someone saw Oola as an accessory and was somehow offended by it... again, it's in the film, so it's really up to Hasbro/Lucas to grow a spine here.

Actually, you know what would be hilarious is if we could somehow get Femi Taylor to @ Hasbro on Insstagram or something and ask why there's no figure of her in the set. Granted, Hasbro and Lucas would completely ignore it... which would also be funny...

It was objectification/ but that?s the point. They were both enslaved by an evil, disgusting, giant slug crime Lord and were paraded for his amusement and pleasure. It?s made very clear in the film that Oola is there against her free will and Leia obviously didn?t just decide to start chilling out in a bikini. The evil character is objectifying them but the cinematic language of the camera isn?t encouraging the audience to salivate over Leia. We feel her discomfort and disgust at the situation. Jabba is the bad guy. No one wants to be him and we root for Leia to choke the life out of him for what he?s done to our heroes.

So I guess I just don?t understand the wokist approach to abolishing all history of wrongdoings regardless of the lessons they teach in the present and the context in which they were presented in popular media while still simultaneously harping on about these same injustices at every possible opportunity. If anything, ROTJ teaches us that strip clubs are where nasty people hang out and mistreating a women will get your windpipe crushed.
But nah- female character not presented as infallible at all times = bad. Must erase.
