LEGO had to Rename The Mandalorian's Razor Crest Because of Copyright Infringement

One of the most anticipated LEGO sets incoming this year is that of the Razor Crest from The Mandalorian, but as it turns out, LEGO had to pull that name because of a copyright kerfuffle.

According to Brickset, LEGO had to rename their Razor Crest set (75292) after it was discovered that Lucasfilm did not own the trademark for the name, which allowed a LEGO-compatible toy company Modbrix to claim the copyright back in January, releasing their own version of the ship. While this problem looked like it was only going to affect the copyright in Europe, LEGO has apparently modified their US and Canadian shops to have the name changed. Now set 75292 is being dubbed as The Mandalorian Bounty Hunter Transport.

We don't really know what's going to go down for this copyright infringement problem, but I don't think that Disney, LEGO, or Lucasfilm are too worried about it. I'm pretty sure fans will still be lining up to get the Mando's ship, whatever name they decided to slap on it.

There is actually a theory going around that the Razor Crest in not the actual name of the ship, but the type. It's kind of like how the Millennium Falcon is actually a YT-1300 freighter or the Slave I is a Firespray-31-class patrol and attack craft. If anything, The Mandalorian can just remedy this and have Din Djarin name the Razor Crest something else. Does the Bounty Boat sound good? How about Slave III?

For now, fans wait for the release of The Mandalorian Season 2 on Disney+ this coming Oct. 30.
