Leia's Metal Bikini was a Star Wars website dedicated to a specific costume worn by Leia Organa in Return of the Jedi, commonly referred to as a "metal bikini" or "Slave Leia." It was founded by "Jack," then turned over to Jamin Fite in May 2002.[1]
The site was last updated sometime in 2014 before ultimately going offline.[2] Fite's cosplay sales moved to Facebook.[3] In 2016[4] and 2017, reports alleged that Fite was a Holocaust denier. One item cited as evidence was Fite's use of an anti-Semitic meme when asked what had happened to the site.[5]
Wookieepedia, the unofficial Star Wars wiki, formerly hosted an article dedicated to the site until the community voted to delete it in May 2021.[6]
