Topic: Star Wars Copyright

My friend is making a Star Wars game(indie type), and he is asking about the copyright stuff. He needs to know where did you guys ask about the copyright. If you want to talk to him, his Xfire is "Skydiver", his in Europe but he know english.

Re: Star Wars Copyright

As far as I know, characters such as Leia, Luke, Vader, etc. can't be added, nor can copyrighted stuff such as the Star Wars theme ripped straight from the movies, but anything else can. So you can't rip the Battle of Endor from the movies and include it in a cutscene, but you can perfectly well recreate it from scratch using 3D models, as long as you don't include hero characters.
