None of the variant covers include the ships’ names in print, which makes it seem intentional to specify in promotional material. While it had previously been speculated that Lucasfilm might drop "Slave I,” there were no signs of a new name altogether.
Although each bounty hunter’s vehicle is referred to by its traditional name in a press release, Boba Fett’s Slave I is called “Firespray." Some fans might recognize the term “Firespray,” as it is the class of Boba Fett’s ship, Firespray-31-class. In a new preview for upcoming War of the Bounty Hunters variant covers illustrated by Paolo Villanelli, bounty hunters are positioned beside their signature ships.

However, some fans pointed out that this is common, and many Star Wars Lego sets have been referred to as simply belonging to various characters. At the time, such theories were based on merchandising as Lego had unveiled a Slave I set labeled “Boba Fett’s Starship,” omitting its official name. Last month, it was speculated whether Lucasfilm and Disney are currently moving away from “Slave I” as a name for Boba Fett’s vessel. Although the ship was never named in the films, fans have known Boba Fett’s ship as “Slave I” since the original Kenner toy.
As the comics event War of the Bounty Hunters continues to shake up established canon, this could be the most significant change for the Star Wars galaxy.
Boba Fett’siconic ship, Slave I, might have a new name going forward.
