It's actually astonishing that the Jabba/Leia scenes in ROTJ didn't cause a scandal, back in 1983

Nope.
Obi-Wan killed the Jawas, or paid someone to do it, then he killed the Larses or paid someone to do it.
Luke couldn't be a Jedi if he still had love and family in his life.
Considering how tenuios the family connection, adult Owen's step mom for no longer than two years. Shmi didn't mother or Raise Owen, she was just some lady that gave his dad blow jobs briefly.
Obi-Wan was paying them a stipend to pretend to love luke, and that's why they wouldn't let him go to the academy.
Owen and Beru did not want to lose their meal ticket.

Eh, there are a lot of misses by the stormtroopers flying around the corridor of the Tantive IV.
But their weapons have a rate of fire that is more rapid than that of the defenders, and Imperials vastly outnumber the rebels. They basically blast their way aboard with overwhelming fire.
Tarkin Doctrine.
Sexual coercion or enslavement is not about physical attraction, it's about power and domination. Rapists and predators choose their targets based on vulnerability, not sexual attractiveness.
Also, in ANH, the Stormtroopers miss our heroes on purpose because Vader and Tarkin want them to escape and lead the Death Star to the rebel base. One of a number of things intended by ANH that the sequels forgot or abandoned. (Like how Han's Kessel Run line was meant to show that he was a blustering fool who didn't know what a parsec was, and that he wasn't really the hotshot genius pilot he claimed to be. Once Harrison Ford became a breakout star, they rewrote Han to be actually as cool as he thought he was.)
Yeah, and that's the harshest part of Solo's fame is how it basically rewrote this character to be the best, and the object of an interesting retroactive continuity, especially with the Special Edition, I think, and Han stepping on Jabba's tail.
It means there's no hiveminded, blanketing "controversy" about the slave Leia costume, unless one is confident in speaking for anyone who might have come across ROTJ. There was no outcry or protest about the costume in 1983, and in this era, the fact numerous women wear the costume, and promote themselves on social media platforms wearing the costume means this push to claim "controversy" is not based on a solid foundation of research. If it had, it would have been compromised by the lack of a historical record of "controversy" in '83, and the existence of women in this era actively cosplaying as slave Leia.
If rejecting / ignoring / minimalizing those significant facts is the only way to reach the conclusion of the dubious charge in question, then said charge was weak from the start.
A charge--of any kind--requires evidence, and again, it has not landed in this "controversy" discussion at all.

Yup. And were offended by it. That is not new.
It might not be controversial but there was offense. I find it disrespectful to say because it didn't hit large public outcry we can dismiss any feelings of offense as a result of 2015 moralizing.
And there really isn't anything that "some people" don't like. So, I'm sure we can all agree on that, at least. Right?*
* - Except of course for the some people who aren't going to like what I'm posting.
Some people are offended by an actor if they have a different political affiliation to them (either side)
So a question of.. At what point or what percentage does it cross a line to where people should listen ? A few morons from the perpetually offended Twitter? News organizations?

I have to admit, I never really gave much thought to what was going on there with Jabba's slave girls, until I had to research real sex trafficking while I was in college. After seeing the absolutely horrifying and disturbing way the real girls in that situation are treated, it really bothers me when any kind of sci-fi or fantasy franchise brings in "slave girls".
Honestly, the way the whole Star Wars franchise has made light of slavery in general has bothered me for a while now.
If the slave girl Leia persona was really that provocative, there would be a lot more slave girl Leia videos on Porn Hub.
There's only dozens, not 100s of thousands.

Jabba is showing off a trophy. The princess of alderain .. Leader of the rebellion.
Thats why she is chained up beside him and not some run of the mill dancer or sold off to whomever ..
Things could have gone worse for her, would have if she wasn't rescued/rescued herself.
And it is a modern problem.
Back a few months ago it was trafficking awareness month. I made a flyer saying it was modern day slavery (it is..) And my boss flipped and made me take out the word slavery. To strong a word.. .. Well yeah it is but it is a perfect word for it.

Princesses are democratically elected, according to the prequels.
Are senators appointed or elected?
Tarkin canceled the Senate under the Emperors orders in ANH.
Mon Mothma is the leader of the Resistance.
