Lucas Sues Stormtrooper Creator

Stormtrooper

Terrible opening paragraph: It’s a storm in a Stormtrooper’s helmet. Lawyers for George Lucas’ Lucasfilm Ltd. and a British prop designer faced off in London’s High Court Tuesday over rights to the molded white Stormtrooper uniforms from the “Star Wars” films.

On the one hand, Lucas has enough money, right? But on the other hand you have to enforce your copyright/trademark/whatever everywhere or you risk losing it.

But can’t we all just get along?
