RPG Post Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Striking Back At The EmpireThe BBC has an article up about the man who made the original plastic molds for the stormtrooper helmets. Andrew Ainsworth designed the prototype helmets, Lucas bought them. Then Mr. Ainsworth decided to start selling them. Lucas sued him for $20 million. Shots were fired, lawyers hired, and rights trampled. And now Mr. Ainsworth has the right to sell what he created. Meanwhile Hollywood predicts the end of the world and no more working with British people. Good luck with that.As a side question, can Tarik the black bear's owners file suit on his behalf for his voice being used to make Chewbacca's? Can Lucas sue the bear for making sounds in public?

Krugar Rockbiter Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 What days are these that bears are allowed to freely make sounds w/o paying royalties to those that rightfully own said emanations.Sad times. Sad times indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
