Jabba, just sitting there thinking to himself: "Well I'm glad at least someone appreciates me. I spent all day picking out that outfit."
Ha ha ha ha! Thanks for that laugh!
no he is actually thinking " MOORBA CAROLO NAH MATA, AYEIS CATCHONGA MA WOOKIE"
She's fuckin' adorable.
I am a feminist and you idiots have no idea what drives feminists. She is actually displaying perfect feminism, a female should be able to wear whatever she wants to wear no matter what other people think about what she is wearing.
I love this kid.
Winston Smif Damn, way to come on too strong. All Cilly said is that she is displaying perfect feminism. No one said it was in the NAME of feminism. Wearing what you like without caring about others IS a quality of feminism. If you were to put a pine tree in your living room and hang lights and ornaments all over it, you're showing Christmas spirit. You can say you don't celebrate Christmas and the tree is just a coincidence, but you're performing a Christmas ritual regardless of semantics. So don't be such a douche.
Tyler Standifird stfu you thoughtless animal.. feminists didn't invent clothes
Unless you're at a certain job, thats true.
Whoa feminist! You better be careful using " fuckin' " and " adorable " in the same sentence. You might have someone question your innocence.
Winston Smif "stop making everything into some...war."
*proceeds to approach a nice comment supportive of the pleasant video with disdain and war starting anger and hate.
The hypocrisy is strong with this one.
"I would just ESCAPE ... and keep wearing the dress, because it is nice!"
Brilliant, I like her thinking.
This is adorable.
JelloApocalypse I see you Jello. Three years on, but I see you.
Shut up, Jello, you fuckhead.
How's the voting going?

Your daughter is absolutely adorable. Without a care of what other people would think or say about her in such garb, she sticks to her guns and thinks that the outfit is pretty. A self sense of fashion and lack of caring about society standards, your daughter is now awarded 1000 internets. Please tell her I said to never change.
I completely agree and i was around that age when i first saw the movies. At the age of 5 children don't really know or care about things like that and when i saw that in the movie my first thought was "wow thats a pretty outfit" not "ugh society should not show women in that kind of demeaning outfit" kids should be allowed to be innocent and just look at the pretty outfit.
I'd dress up like a snowtrooper
"never change" is the most horrible thing you can say to someone, change is good and people need to constantly change with time, to become updated versions of their previous selves
dillan319 plus, society's standards are drilled into you as you grow by the mere fact that humans seek social validation. more like. "don't forget that beauty is a matter of perspective" that would be a nice message for her to keep.
Dead Girl Walking Be that as it may on the surface, children are already brainwashed from birth along a certain line of regard for themselves & others. Pink baby blankets & blue baby blankets ring a bell? Dresses for girls & pants for boys? All along gender lines. Lines of battle, lines that start the process of artificially contrived division & separation that become more pronounced in one's awareness as we age.
Children absorb everything like a sponge, & in just a few more years, a child, will learn how to hook a man, & how to not be hooked by a female.
If Princess Leia wore a Dutch smock with sequins, the little girl would think it is pretty. The reason Leia has to be naked other than a few strips of cloth is lost on the child, but the brainwashing propaganda is insidious & subtle, & the child will come to view the near-nakedness as "normal," which is exactly what it is intended for the child to think.
Let the child think the Outfit is "Pretty," but an awake, intelligent adult needs to interject the child's comments with responsible words about the fact that she is naked (almost) & that it is very unneccessary to the movie plot, & is disrespectful to Leia & females in general because it is not how we ordinarily dress in real life except where it is appropriate. Even though the child will not comprehend that, the idea will have been planted about sexism, & will 'click' in its mind later on. We must help children to SEE; not allow them to take for granted that what they see is appropriate or okay.
Since the propaganda starts extremely early in every child's life, the truth must be taught right along side it, keeping pace all the way. The child will still enjoy what a child enjoys. But it will not be mindless like its peers. Nor like too many 'adults' either.
but little girl, you're not supposed to just wear what you think is nice, you're supposed to wear what feminists TELL you that you think is nice... it's like you know nothing about female empowerment at all
lol
Tyreek Moore busted
Tyreek Moore FINALLY! The voice of reason.
Michael Collins And you're the white knight right?
Michael Collins We dont hate women we hate you
This is freakin' ADORABLE!! Her tastes are simple. She is five years old, and her outfit choices are driven by one simple consideration: Is it pretty? Then I want to wear it! She's, what, seven years old now? Have you shown her this video recently, just to see her reaction?
For those of you saying that the father is teaching her misogyny:
First of all, he's not trying to teach her much, except about who the characters are in the movie. He's asking questions to her and letting her run the show.
Second of all, that girl who's running the show happens to be only *five years old*. She's probably never heard about sexual objectification before anytime in her life, and, depending on how much she might know about sex, she can probably only see Leia's dress for its sparkles and design rather than its revealing nature. Bare skin probably means nothing to her. The entire point of this video is how somebody as young as five years of age can take something that grown people wouldn't like for grown-up reasons and give an innocent spin to it.
Third of all, for those of you going so far as to say that Star Wars is misogynist, you realize that Jabba the Hut is a villain, and by him forcing Leia to wear that outfit, it's supposed to portray him as even more evil because he sees Leia as a sex slave.
Finally, I thought feminism was supposed to be about gender equality and letting people do whatever the heck they want despite their genders. Obviously, Leia was forced to wear the dress in the movie, but when you criticize women for wanting to wear more sexualizing outfits because they like to, all you're doing is establishing that women are supposed to be the gatekeepers of sex, that women are somehow corrupted by sex, and that women don't---GASP---actually ENJOY sex in general. Honestly, you radicals are no different than the Christian fundamentalists by placing sex on a pedestal that should've been taken down a long time ago.
Who are you responding to with this essay? Haven't seen a single comment in backlash of Adam or his daughter.
This radical agrees with you. Maybe don't lump your preconceived notion of who radicals are together.
Vocaloid_Victrix
Someone got triggered by your comment, but in a different way one might expect. I love hove creative we as a species are : )
I just think Adam is being to serious.
Simply she's too young for sexuality, so the whole thing is over her head. Might as well just let her like the outfit for her innocent reasons. She can debate this stuff when she's old enough... which I expect she is by now.
What's hilarious is that feminists in the comment section either think that the girl; as a woman, should be allowed to wear whatever she sees fit.
Other feminists say that it's unacceptable for her father to let her watch content that twists her mind into thinking that she wants to wear next to nothing.
Some others blame the patriarchy or the movie...
But goddamnit it seems like none of them ever interacted with a child. The movie never glorifies the skimpy outfit. Indeed it's associated with being a slave. The child liked it because she's a child and doesn't know better than to not say whatever comes to mind.
Perhaps the only consistant feminist agenda is to _complain_.
This is one of the most intelligent posts I've ever seen on u-tube. Well done sir or madam.
Finally a rational person!! I was going crazy trying to find someone who wasn't nuts in these comments.
GregTom2 So you are a feminist?!
GregTom2 Isn't that 'debate', rather than 'complaining', when people have different views and talk about them?
kitty6883 There's a huge difference between debating and complaining. Feminists typically complain and haven't debated their views since the early 80s.
This is absolutely disgusting, this child has been brainwashed by the father, he was obviously trying to act innocent in this video so the Legion Of Feminists would spare him our wrath. The outfit Princess Leia wore was disgusting, I couldn't believe the level of misogyny I was seeing when I first saw it. It's sickening how this movie isn't banned yet. How pathetic of this male to expose his innocent daughter to imagery of a half-naked victimised woman and teach her that it's okay, all in the name of Reddit Karma and UA-cam views!

Metagross923 rekt
1) He is not teaching her it is okay, he tried to explain what demeaning meant to her for Pete's sake.
2) He is not Introducing her to misogyny, he is Introducing her to a classic film of which the slave outfit is used to portray the sickening character of jabba the hut. If anything its sending the message that misogyny is disgusting and wrong by linking it to the villain.
3) If you were a promoter of "peace" you would not be at taking this man based only on a short animated video which has obviously been made with the intention of capturing the innocence of his daughters interpretation.
4) As you have so obviously lost the plot I'll tell you that real feminism is about equality for all regardless of gender,NOT to give you a platform to attack everything you don't like about the world blame for all that has gone wrong in your sorry little life as you seem to think.
5) oh and I find it hilarious that you think star wars should have been banned, by that logic the only films we would be allowed to see would be those made by Disney and Pixar... Unless you think toy story encourages young girls to dress up like little bopeep and devote their lives to raising livestock for their husbands.
Lorne Falconer Someone missed the joke.
Why do people like these statuses?
Berta is one of the best youtube trolls.
Don't listen to the haters Adam, this video is bloody adorable.
This was adorable, but I can't help feeling a little off put by the connection you make between a women wearing a skimpy outfit and it being "demeaning".
You're filling her head with feminist/Taliban ideas on what women should wear to not demean themselves.
Petty negative message to fill a child's head with when she's having such fun looking at pictures.
Taliban

"Atheist" in name
You're missing the fedora, 'spergie.
BathroomTile All the qualities of a true lady killer! (Though probably in a more literal sense...)
I was shocked that Hide Fedora hide this, possibly a legit comment.
I like how you used feminist and Taliban as interchangeable words. Because they're definitely in cahoots together, it just needed someone as clever as you to point it out.
Samantha Sutton Yes, but that is not how it sounds to someone who does not have that back story.
Honestly, I would just say that she didn't choose her clothing and that that is the issue.
Sure, it looks good on her but she had no choice in the matter. Which is the important part.
You forgot an evil crime lord did it who was feeding people to an evil sand thing that slowly digested them in the most painful way possible.
Isaac Intner You're talking about pretty clothes to a 5 year old.
The important part is 'was she cold?'
***** Not in a desert, no.
Why is absolutely EVERYONE in the top comments mentioning reddit? Nobody gives a damn about reddit.
Because, /Reddit/.
im pretty sure there was a link to this video posted on reddit somewhere.
Teirdalin Shadowfall
Just get the "Hide Fedora" add on. I have it on now and I have no clue there are even reddit comments here aside from people complaining about them.
Because they're children, or at least possess the mind of children, and as such, need to feel like they matter, try to impress each other, and think the trollface/foreveralone/etc. etc. pictures are still relevant.
Whenever their is a youtube link posted on Reddit trolls like to pretend to be redditors and make stupid comments to try and make everyone hate reddit and its users.
Redditor with 194 IQ here,
As a moderator of /r/funny and /r/adviceanimals, i can tell that this is 9gag tier humour and not up to standards with the humour us redditors come to expect.
Delete this video and try again. I suggest that you add some dank memes in the video next time. Like for example make the 5 year old girl say "This dress is 7/10, This dress with rice is 10/10". and scumbag jabba "kidnaps leia, makes her wear nothing". Truly classy humour.

I do hope you are a troll.
David Moore If anyone is either talking about reddit or weird, stupid argument, just conclude it's redditors' satire. I've seen Doritan Cheeto around, so i can more that presume he's a reddit troll.
"Cheeto" about says it all. The IQ is obviously a misrepresentation.
You're the same person as Berta Lovejoy, go away.
"People who boast about their IQ are idiots" - Stephen Hawking
To all M'ladies out there, not all men are like this on openly allowing their children to view such filth at such a young age.
I promise you that there are still some men with Morals, Like Me for Instance, I have an IQ of 187 and am a level 87 in the online MMO World Of Warcraft. I can promise you our children would be well mannered and Educated.
there is still good in the world, and if you ever want to have children and have a good father, you know where to find me In my mothers basement, it is not as bad as it sounds, I have unlimited Mountain Dew and Doritos at my Disposal.

Sir Helmhead of Ballfoss What did you expect? I'm half the man I used to be. Better yet, if I had to watch your children, I would show them a sweet little adorable show called Boku no Pico and then have them play a really fun wrestling game called Dramatical murder. I heard there is a lot of wrestling and it's quite fun :3
Okay. Argh! I read the comments! What an idiot.
Right, I'm a feminist and I see nothing anti-feminist in this video. The other feminists commenting here seem to also have no problem with this video.
The anti-feminists seem to be creating a strawman trope of this angry feminist and then arguing against it because it fits their world view. …and then they go one to criticise feminists for not "embracing reality".
To be fair, i've scrolled down a good 30 comments, and yet to see an angry feminist? Plenty of angry anti-feminists mad at these non-existent angry feminists though. All a bit strange.
+I hate unicorns.
So you are criticizing people without linking to their comments because they are criticizing people without linking to their comments. You seem to be doing what you are accusing them of.
+Bluelloydpugh.
Well (assuming) that the anti-feminists are responding to feminists then logically the feminist comments would be further down than the anti-feminist comments being that the feminists would be the instigating force in this scenario. But like you I can't be bothered scrolling that far down so I won't assert what is going on. Instead I'll just keep my comments neutralish.
To remain neutral in the face of bigotry is to support the bigotry. Inaction is in itself an action.
The angry/humourless feminist is a tired and untrue trope used insidiously to discredit feminist discourse via a faux-intellectualising of hatred.
Thems the facts.
+I hate unicorns. So out of all the billions of Feminists who live and have lived every single one of them has had an outstanding sense of humor and has never been angry about anything. Every last one.
A more believable assertion would be to claim that the Feminists who get referred to as Social Justice Warriors are in the minority. But they certainly are not fictional. By sheer accident I stumble onto paranoid articles where they chase windmills in the same style as Don Quixote, all the time. h t t p : / / s c r e e n c r u s h . c o m / r e e l - w o m e n - k i c k - a s s - 2 /
I love how charming and genuine this is! xD
You can't make this kind of stuff up!
Welp, now i feel sexist for thinking that making Leia wear that was sexist.
Have you taken a shit today?
I'm no feminist but isn't feminism equality for all genders, and all these people claiming to be a feminist when they are picking on Adam Buxton calling him a pedophile because of something that he didn't make then calling him a rubbish parent for letting his little girl read a Star Wars annual. Also people claiming that the girls outfit from starwars is rude to women I thought u wanted people to dress like that, to show that women can wear what they want without being judged, but then u go and judge Adam Buxton and call him a horrible parent after one super cute video is let out on youtube? I think that hating on this video, is disgusting because it's just a little girl talking about a dress somebody wore in a movie. Just my opinion.
What I liked most about your comment is that you are aware that your opinion is not law and not what everyone sees. I am also not a feminist, but I do know of that feminism has sub groups within it, each in someway different yet somewhat similar to the last. And this group can get (at least from my point of view) mad at just about anything and wish to hate anything and anyone who does not fall in line, I could be dead wrong, or not.
+Evan DaBoss If it was about equality for all genders, it wouldn't be called FEMinism.
Nope. EGALITARIANISM is equality for all genders. Dont let feminists try to convince you otherwise.
but her tiny voice is so cute ^_^

Great! We can all take that advice. just escape and keep wearing the clothes if we like them.
The only thing that would make that demeaning is being forced to wear it. Wearing what you want to wear isn't demeaning - it's personal choice, and THAT'S what empowerment is. Empowerment is NOT "You can't wear that because I think it's too sexy (and therefore demeaning, as if expression of sexuality is a bad thing)"
Yess thank you.
Move on people it's about aesthetics, gays guys and girls understand this, it's straight men that turn it into something else.
Yet women don't listen when men tell them they look better with zero makeup.
And if you tell a woman she that she reminds you of actress, she'll think you're talking about the roles the actress played, rather than their facial structure.
Women and gay men don't share an interest in aesthetics, they just share the delusion that crafting a "look" is a meaningful skill.
Maybe woman don't listen because they don't care what men think? Perhaps they wear make up to make themselves feel good.
Every thing is the straight white male's fault isn't it?
Nope. It's straight guys who admit it's about sex and power. Sex IS a woman's power over men.
M1s7erH "Yet women don't listen when men tell them they look better with zero makeup"
Again you don't understand, it's a not about sex appeal it's about aesthetics.
I think people are missing the point entirely. Yes, the outfit is demeaning in the sense that Jabba's forcing Leia to wear a skimpy outfit for eye candy, especially when it's not something Leia's character would likely choose to wear. But his daughter is looking at it from a purely aesthetic view. She thinks it's pretty. Nothing more, nothing less. She likes it no matter what anyone tells her. And as her her dad "brainwashing" her, it's pretty obvious he's trying to tell her it's not a "nice" outfit, but he's unsure how to brooch the subject in a way she can understand.
well, her role was as a decorative object; she hadnt exactly been enslaved to work in the coal mines, so it makes sense that she was given something nice to wear.
whats odd is that jabba would have such a human sense of aesthetics. youd think that, to him, a human would look more or less like a giant slug looks to us. he probably had a xenofashion adviser.
Maybe Jabba himself didn't choose the outfit. It makes sense that his other slaves would do the "dirty work" as it were, capturing Leia and gives her the slave clothes. Then Jabba would just have her as a decoration, on display like Han was.
I think the way this Dad approaches the topic is excellent. He doesn't tell her what to think but he points out the role that is being portrayed in the clothing. Then she finds a way to like the outfit and not be demeaned by it. It's a way to help her think critically about what clothes represent when he's not around.
I agree, it is a really nice look for her.
I don't even think the outfit is even bad looking to be honest xD It just looks like a bikini to me. Anyway the lil girl is sooo cuuuute
When I have a child I'm going to record everything he/she says and hope it's as golden as this!
KID SMART #kids
little girl thinking for herself nice to see and not caring what other people think good on her
An amazing piece of commentary, how a child can filter the connotations of the prejudice of slavery and discrimination against gender to remain with something that is "really nice". So wonderful that children are so good at avoiding jadedness!
Truly wonderful the mind of a child is.
This is hilarious and adorable. Great job with the animation :D "It's actually a pretty good look for her" lol.
I agree with your daughter. Leia's slave outfit is some cute beachwear.
This was such a cute video! ^.^ I just feel sorry for they guy being attacked by femanatzis ;/
Ugh can someone put some subtitles in the video next time? I can hardly understand a word of what they are saying. As a native English speaker of American I have to say the rest of the world needs to get with the program here. Take some English classes please thank you.
Poor redditor, you know don't fill bad you just fail again, but I give to you a thumb up.
The misericourdios men.
Maybe you should not be closed minded? I've never been out of America and understood every single word. He doesn't need to put subtitles to aid those who cannot understand--it's his video. I don't see any Americans putting subtitles, so why should he feel obligated to?
Amelia Potato I always wonder what goes through the minds of people like you when you give comments like this a genuine reply. Here: www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/the-science-of-sarcasm-yeah-right-25038/?no-ist
“People who don’t understand sarcasm are immediately noticed. They’re not getting it. They’re not socially adept.”
'MURICA!!!!!!!!!
No wonder the rest of the world sees you guys as idiots.
I'm sorry, okay, I am just tired of everyone saying crap like that and then the rest of the world adding it to the list of the reasons they hate America. I was just trying to halt that lol. Sorry!
Okay, okay, let's get something straight. Both all of the anti-feminists in the comments AND Berta Lovejoy are wrong. Lemme explain:
Anti-feminists: They're wrong just because they're anti-feminism, which means they're anti equality for everyone.
Berta Lovejoy: Although she is trying to come off as a feminist, she is missing the mark completely. Here's what I mean:
The ORIGINAL concept of Leia being put into a bikini and such as a slave woman working for Jabba could be taken as "Oh so what, of course she would be wearing that as a slave", but in actuality it probably was a marketing ploy and something for male audiences because we don't see any of the men striped down to their tighty whities or flaunting sex appeal.
HOWEVER, this is all moot. The little girl liked the outfit itself, and said she would like to wear it and that Leia was pretty in it. Feminism is certainly not about being a prude and not wanting to show skin. Heck, a large argument of feminism is fighting for the right for women/girls to wear what they want and what makes them happy, without getting judged by people who say that women should be covered up because they'll be a distraction to men/ "be targets" for assault.
The father even TRIED to talk with her about how it was seen as demeaning/objectifying, which originally it was, but the little girl just liked the outfit in general, and said if she were in that scenario she would flee the oppression and rock the outfit.
Berta Lovejoy I'm sorry, but you are completely off the mark and giving feminists a horrid name on a site that barely respects them as is. I am a fellow feminist, but you are trying to insinuate the idea that nudity=sex, which is a rather dated and harmful line of thinking. Additionally, this line of thinking feeds into the idea of forcing women to cover up, which is a misogynistic line of thinking itself for it teaches women to be afraid of their sexuality to boot.
PS. The child was only looking through an ENCYCLOPEDIA of Star Wars, which half contains aliens and robots. If she happened to turn upon the Leia page, then she happened to turn upon the Leia page. It's not like he gave her a copy of Playboy.
LoneCommenter, Feminist, Basher of Ignorance
An non-inflammatory comment on UA-cam. God bless you, man.
I happen to agree with your statement. I think the reason for attacks such as the ones you've described are due to the fact the sex-negative feminism is just more widely accepted than sex-positive feminism. Of course, they're both incorrect.
Watchingyew I'm looking for something in your comment, but I'm not seeing it... That's right! There's no argument!
Berta Lovejoy is a troll. One of the many annoying trolls that follow any video that's linked to reddit. It's not worth replying to it.
Being Anti-Feminist doesn't make you Anti-Equality.
Wow, you should write a book.
It is actually a pretty good look for her
I loved Star Wars and when I saw it and Return of the Jedi as a little girl, I thought the same way. I remember thinking how beautiful Princess Leia was and how lucky she was to have those kinds of clothes. My mind had yet to be conditioned by society. This child is precious.
i love that girl she is awesome
I love the innocence of this little girl. She likes what she likes for reasons which are TOTALLY lacking in adult rhetoric be it for or against that type of clothing for whatever reason adults go on about. She hasn't yet been taught by the world to see herself as anything but who she is as a person, as an individual apart from her gender. She hasn't taken onto herself shame or embarrassment for being female or the negativity that brings both to women AND men via values judgments of their choices in things like clothing, hairstyles, makeup use, etc which can clearly be seen by the horrid comments made by some "feminists" here. (As a side note, REAL feminism fosters equality of both sexes in all areas and is especially about freeing females and men from the shackles of personal judgments about a person based on clothing choices etc so people are free to be who they are and like what they like. Real feminists don't teach shame but the opposite.) Please foster this sense of self as she grows older so she is free to like what she likes regardless of what others tell her she should like based on their own need to control others' ideals.
New drinking game:
Scroll through the comments and take a drink every time you see the word "feminist".
But I would like to live past the next two hours.
This is adorable, i love to see that she has her own opinions. Even though her dad tries to explain it might look "embarrassing" and "demeaning" she still likes the dress.
Also her voice is adorable.
Though people see that this is "sad" or "disgusting"
I see this as an honest and innocent opinion.
This girl doesn't see the Princess' outfit as "slutty" or "horrible" because her mind doesn't think of gross things like that. People (*women AND men*) should be able to wear what they want without being criticized just because *people can't control their owns thoughts*.
Now in this situation the Princess is *forced to wear the outfit* which is bad, but the outfit itself and the act of wearing it out of personal choice is not.
I felt the exact same when I watched that movie as a six year old
Your daughter is intelligent!
I don't mind that so much that the girl likes the outfit. I'm more concerned that she wants to "be rescued". Overall, she is looking at the outfit in a manner consistent with how media treats women -- the princess looks pretty and her hair is nice. However, in fairness, the girl is quite small and probably doesn't grasp the concept of "slave".
Moral of the Story: It's demeaning, unless she wants to dress up that way. :D
This is really cute Adam, I've missed you on the UA-cams
This comment section is pure gold. I haven't laughed this hard in a while. Oh well, tell your kid to keep being awesome! :D
This was funny. I feel the same way the dad feels when my daughter asks me something that's difficult to explain. She's too cute.
Somehow kids want to get really freaking real. I've been asked some heavy questions and I immediately did the simple vague answers and then felt bad about it. Questioning when they are ready for truth. How to explain the truth. It keeps you up man.
Watching Janna's eyes follow the kid as she walks to Leia to point out what she likes about the outfit, and watching his eyes move to the parts as she he describes each then goes on smoking the pipe is killing me. I kept rewinding it over and over and couldn't stop laughing.
It _was_ meant to be demeaning…
BUT, Princess Leia was such a strong character she didn’t let that effect her. She didn’t complain about the patriarchy or even deign to acknowledge it. That’s what makes her the most powerful and courageous woman in Star Wars.
@CillyHoney youre adorable too!! I like the way you think. Totally refreshing among all these other comments! :)
The outfit is demeaning. Not because it's skimpy, but because she was forced to wear it.
Is Berta Lovejoy a parody account? I mean it looks exactly like satire, but it might be real.
sTEPHEN! CAPS LOCK FOR COMEDIC VALUE... Why be Denny different?
I find it hilarious how people are posting comments as if they lost their shit.
The girl simply stated Leia looks pretty; does not understand the context of the situation.
Like look at it from a Child's perspective. And don't go "Movie is graphic" because it is PG; and I watched the damn movies at the age of 4. Didn't care much for Disney; I was about the Sci-fi.
Lol, I'm sorry what?
The girl was questioning what she saw as elegant; her father was trying to state it would be seen as deming on a girl due to the fact how it was forced onto the character. This in no way was violating rights considering they were discussing an outfit from a fictional universe.
Hell, the girl expressed that she'd wear what she'd want to wear. How is that sexist viewers?
I recall thinking how nice her outfit was when I was around her age too. I didn't have a care (or knowledge) that it was sexual, revealing or demeaning to be forced to wear. 5 year olds do not comprehend that stuff, typically. They see it as no different to the bikinis they've seen women wear plenty of times at the beach or pool or in stores and catalogues. Children have a tenuous grasp of context, to the point of disregarding it only to focus on the singular thing in a vacuum.
It actually is kinda messed up, that Jabba takes interest in completely different species dressed in weird clothing. To his species, walking is probably stupid, and things that walk don't make slime, utterly nonsense.
I've never thought about that. I suppose Jabba's a good businessman though, so he knows it's all about the image he gives off to other species.
There are a million comments about the outfit, but no one mentioned the CHAIN. I would have thought the dad would say something about that. Like "Leia wasn't just 'pretending to be a slave.' Jabba the Hutt was a bad guy because he put Leia in chains & made her really a slave."
Wonderful
This is beginning to take the piss. I mean, really, really take the piss.
Is this vid really so contentious that people are still arguing about it? Apparently.
This sort of thing is one of the main causes of my misanthropy.
He's back! Great story, great animation. Please let this be a new series!
Omg PERFECT NOSTALGIA! I distinctly remember owning a Star Wars book just like this, and, no bullshit, I saw the photos of Leia in the slavegirl outfit, and I was also a little girl somewhere between ages 3-6, and I thought the SAME THING! I thought she looked so pretty! Nearly 30 years later, I still think this. lol I just admired how beautiful Leia looked. Kind of like Princess Jasmine looked in Aladdin, in that red slavegirl costume, she looked gorgeous, and I wanted to dress up like her. xD
Dear Adam (without Joe), your daughter's ability to converse directly with you her father so eloquently and openly is a credit to you. Brilliant English humour and strong willed. She will go far. Oh Merry boring bit between Xmas Day and New Years Eve.
The worst part about this is her last comment, if she were an unwilling slave, what would she do about that, she "would be rescued". This is what the media has taught her.
All the anti-feminist comments on this have really missed the point.
Jay Torres Huh?
I can't answer for everyone who calls themselves a feminist (since anyone can call themselves anything), but as a feminist, I would never tell a woman (or a man for that matter) not to dress a certain way if they really wanted to. It's a major difference between an individual woman making a choice to dress a certain way because she wants to and a corporation or something dressing a woman up a certain way to objectify women in general.
MasterOfTheChainsaw We need more feminists like you out there
I thought I was going to watch a cute cartoon and read some entertaining comments. There is something wrong with the comments here. Where have all these strange people come from?
Yeah, bikinis do look nice.
yeah ''bikini's''
The problem isn't the outfit, it's that she was forced to do it.
"I would escape and then keep on wearing that" hahah
1304 angry feminists are mad about reality.
I was waiting for her theme music to start.
Britney Spears- I'm A Slave For You
Wonderful to see a female stick up for what she feels. All these femenazis trying to tell us we cant dress awesome because it makes THEM uncomfortable. heh Brilliant, little girl. Stay true to yourself. :)
LOL - UA-cam, where everyone is offended. If not but the video, by comments to the video. And if people aren't offended, they're annoyed with everyone being so stupid. Accept themselves. It's all beyond ridiculous. :D
You see, he could have given her a really ugly or unflattering outfit to wear. This one looks fitted and expensive and looks good. Not such a bad guy after all!
Did he just happen to have a closet full of outfits for his slaves to wear, or was that one left over from the last slave girl who displeased him? Did he have only outfits for humanoid species, such as homo sapiens and Twi'leks, or for other species, as well? Who makes these outfits? Like, is there a garment factory on Tatooine that manufactures them, or do they have to be imported, at great expense, from another planet because Tatooine sucks too much to have any kind of industry? I think I'm putting way too much thought into this.
Obviously it looks custom made to her and had slaves and other workers, metal workers, leather workers sandal makers, jewelers, weavers, tailors make it especially for her. You can't get that stuff off the rack!
The daughter likes the outfit based on the way it looks. The father knows that the context of her wearing is it as a slave and for male pleasure. The daughter can't fully grasp the context, she just thinks it's pretty. Simple as that.
Haha, brilliant!
"i know jaba is a baddie...." :) lol i almost pissed myself
I came here from a music video about sushi...
It seems pretty simple to me to just explain to the girl that it was bad by Jabba to force Leia to wear that outfit, because _Leia_ didn't like that outfit, and Jabba didn't care about that and made her wear it against her will.
***** Bullcrap? Teaching kids to consider the feelings and opinions of others?
If you're not gonna start teaching kids to act morally at age 5, when are you gonna do it?
Empathy is one the absolute most fundamental skills of all social interaction, and something kids NEED to learn.
It's not like we're talking about talking to kids about the arguments for and against euthanasia.
***** *sigh*
> Morality can be taught by actions.
It could and should also be taught by talking to the child. Do you seriously expect children to become moral individuals if you don't ever _tell_ them what is right or wrong? A five year old is prone to do all kinds of actions it shouldn't do. Do you seriously expect a five year old to be able to pick up on those actions being bad simply because its parents don't do those actions?
> Not by painting a child’s perceptions of things with the parent’s BIAS.
Bias? Towards what? Bias towards empathic thought and moral actions? Wat? There is no "bias" here, or at least there is no need for bias. This is not (contrary to what the father in the video thinks) about what kind of clothes it's proper to wear. This is about EMPATHY.
> There is absolutely NO NEED to ruin the child’s enjoyment of that scene with adult morality drama.
What if she was unironically cheering and laughing at the sight of Luke writhing in pain while being zapped by the Emperor?
> If parenting is done well the child will be taught Empathy during her day to day interactions with people and the world.
Again, I have no idea how you got the idea that children are able to learn to behave morally if their parents never put into words how they expect them to behave. Children absolutely do not have the ability to read so well between the lines, to infer how to act simply from their parents' actions. Words should always be followed by example, but exemplary behavior *cannot* stand alone either.
> Not forced by twisting her innocent view of a scene in her favorite movie. If the child only sees the cute outfit, allow her to enjoy the cute outfit for what it is. As she grows older she will start understanding the more complicated implications of that scene.
5 years is a completely appropriate age to start teaching kids about how other people have feelings too, and another person's feelings about a situation might be different from your own, and should be taken into consideration. Obviously, it's too early to expect kids to master these concepts, but it's certainly not to early start teaching. And one might as well engage the child by using her favorite movie as a case study.
> My parents didn't shove such bullcrap into my mind as I was growing up. They allowed me to develop my own morality and guided me when I needed guidance.
I am feeling sorely tempted, but I'll refrain from commenting on this.
> That is the job of a parent. TO GUIDE the development of their children and their morals, not to shove their adult views and biases into the mind of a 5 year old.
It bears repeating: a parent necessarily has to put into words to their child what they need to learn to function in the world. If a child tramples another child's sand castle should its parents just drop subtle hints that that was wrong? NO. They should explain it to the child in no uncertain terms. In the same way empathy should be _explained_ to a child. They should not just be expected to figure it out completely on their own.
And I _REALLY_ wonder how you get the idea that empathy is a "bias". It is an utterly fundamental key to all human interaction.
***** I'm gonna assume, you've just been trolling me this entire time. Hope you've had fun.
I love the comments on this. Everyone is mad about the Human dressed all skimpy. As I can recall George Lucas put that fat lady in a skimpy outfit as well. Also the singing slug-lady-singer was also skimpy naked. Where are our Feminist comments on those two? Or do we not include aliens and fat ladies in the Feminist world... :/ Poor fat lady and femail-slug-alien-singer Princess Lea is getting all the hot attention. Question: was the Rancor Male or Femail? I know the answer, but I bet the feminists out there have no idea. ;3 Enjoy!
I can think of way too many woman-slave jokes to go with this. I'll let my girlfriend decide when shes finished with the dishes...
*kids make the best voice actors wouldnt u say?*
If she doesn't learn about this stuff from her parents, she'll learn about it from a Miley Cyrus or Nicki Minaj music video. Which would you prefer?
LOL
Are you going to put Shed of Christmas up on your YT channel? Surely you can do so since you put up the entire series of Bug!
(Plus, I'm American & I really want to see it now after watching this clip)
Dad: "But you wouldn't want to be a slave, right?"
Daughter: "No. I will just escape and keep wearing that. Because it looks really nice."
Pure Epic!!
#starwars #kids #awsome #epicfail
If you hate men just because they are men, please stop calling yourself a feminist; you're just ignorant. A true feminist is one who views men and women as equals and wishes to be treated as such; not just spouting hatred with no means to an end.
Brilliant animation (well done Brothers McLeod!) and brilliant child (well done Doctor Buccules!)
So you believe thoughts of a 5 year old hold any weight on a topic outside of her scope?
I've seen a lot of sick things but using your daughter to manipulate your views is up there.
And I've seen a lot of dumb people. And you sir are one of them

Welcome to the internet.
Man, this is awesome. Kids are awesome. They don't care about what's "offensive" or being "offended". If something looks cool, it's cool. Simple as that.
This is cute why do you people always have to turn UA-cam videos into a huge arena of troolls vs idiots who fall for them just sit back lay down and appreciate the video. :/
I can't believe all the stupid comments on such a nice video!
SO CUTE! I'd be more worried that her response would be 'to be rescued' rather than to rescue herself, but I can understand her not wanting to mess up that carefully plaited hair. Unless she plans to free Jabba's hairdressers and make-up team too.
WHAY DOES THE TITLE SCREAM!!?
wow i was SHOCKED when i read the responses to this cartoon. i thought it was hilarious. i understand that feminist point here and i agree with that, but this is a little girl here... it doesn't seem like a scripted thing. and even if it were, THIS IS A CARTOON! Everything is fair game in ART, i don't believe in CENSORSHIP in any of the arts. How many terrible/senitive/touchy issues have been explored on Monty Python sketches/movies??????? I think Monty Python is creativity gone wild... it's silly and humorous. It's the same with this cartoon. The day we start censoring art/cartoons is the day this civilization will be near the end. once again, i agree with the feminist view point, but this is ART, HUMOR,ANIMATION... there should never be any taboos in the arts. this is just my opinion. i respect the opinions posted here, i'm just not sure if some people understand the role of art in the world. cheers
This kid at five years old already has a better vocabulary than most American college students. And the fact that the father was able to educate his daughter by explaining what demeaning means shows that he may be more dedicated to her Growth then most of the American fathers that I've ever seen.
You’re criticizing Americans for not having a good vocabulary, and yet you spelled “demeaning” as “the meaning”
@@shizaanimations7634 well, probably Siri. And I’m also actually blind. So I didn’t actually see the misspelling. I’ll fix
Aww. Cutest little girl ever.
