I've been as critical of George Lucas in recent times as anyone else, but the entire concept of Star Wars is his, like it or not - Darth Vader, Stormtroopers, Yoda, R2, 3PO, Ben Kenobi, Luke, Leia, the Millennium Falcon, the Tie Fighters and X-Wings, the Death Star, Yavin, Dagobah, Tatooine, the Star Destroyers, et al. He commissioned many, many people for their artistic and technical talents to enable HIS vision to come to the screen, but they were PAID for their work, their talent, their contributions, and their artistic interpretations, and those works essentially became his property through remuneration. That a court in the U.K. has deemed the resulting work to have expired after a period of time seems no doubt to have been a boon to the enterprising likes of Andrew Ainsworth, with whatever axe he has to grind with GL, but it still strikes me as being very, very wrong, and contemptible to say the least...
