In any single case, If any number of us wound up making the fan made yet screen used pieces I think that we should wait to confer with them before assuming a new run. Again, the belt hanger may fall under a specific Efx license and as ‘cool’ as Disney has been to leave prop makers more or less alone I think that is one step too close for comfort with an actual license holder who would 100% have a vested interest and claim.
I assume this is mostly directed at my post, if so... You have missed my point entirely. Allow me to clarify.
I actually read this post and thought it was in this thread, this is directly what I was trying to discuss. A quote from Anakin Starkiller. “Actually, I probably won't be able to work on a Mando replica, since as of now it looks like they might have used a Rylo saber in production and
Rylo has stated that he doesn't want anyone making a replica of his piece. So, that project might be DOA for me.”
Let’s remove Rylo specifically from this convo
and just talk in general. If a fan prop is purchased from these boards and used on screen, it is improper for said maker to call “dibs” and say replicas are off the table. Once it is on screen, it is now screenused, (duh) it should be, and IMO *IS* fair game to replicate, that is my point.
I was not assuming a new run would be made and I don’t particularly care either way if one was done. I was just sharing my opinion in that I think being nice, being honorable, we would allow the original maker space to produce a run
if they wanted to, but if they *can’t* or *don’t* want to, they should
not be able to lay claim to the prop.
Something we need to understand as a group.. These shows are going to continue to pull from fan sources. Some much more heavily than others. If we start marking arbitrary rules about what can and can’t be replicated and why, we are going to have a very bad time in the years to come.
Am I the only one thinking this? Am I crazy here? We need to think this stuff through before turning makers away.
