Considering how much that outfit has been fetishized, I imagine it will have a similar fate as Halle Berry’s Storm outfit…
I love that the original name of this outfit (“Slave Leia Costume”) has been officially updated to “Huttslayer Leia Costume.”

Neat, but I would have loved a screen used ship model. Oh man.
In other news, I am THIS close to finishing arranging my displayed Boba Fett collection.

I like Carrie Fisher’s summary of the history of that costume:
“… a giant slug captured me and forced me to wear that stupid outfit, and then I killed him because I didn’t like it. And then I took it off. Backstage.”
