George Lucas and his team of lawyer-stormtroopers make GW's thugs look like the Lollipop guild ;)

Georgie Porgy sold it all to Disney remember.
I foresee Mickey-Mouse-ears wearing lawyers busting down the doors on these guys before the weekend's out.

I completely forgot about that actually.

Disney will have them bent over and grabbing their ankles by the week's end.

Captain Blackadder, I have to say I must admire your balls.

So to speak...

Fair play, they aren't mucking about. Taking on GW and Disney's lawyers in one fell swoop. Gosh.

Good luck wi' that, lads. You're gonna need it...

Is this based on your degree in law and vast experience working as a lawyer? Or just an opinion?

I think he's referring to Hustler Magazine vs. Falwell and/or Wierd Al' Yankovich and his various parodies.
Legitimate parody doesn't constitute libel or infringe copyright.
Could be their only hope of avoiding an ankle-grabbing this weekend ;)

Someone posted something similar on Frothers;
Not sure about the American legal system, but this seems just about daft enough to fit under the 'parody' umbrella.
Looks the Admiral is more in the know than I.

I hope they do get away with it.
