Okay, not saying that he's actually evil for seeking to enforce his copyright here (just very rich, doesn't necessarily make him evil, right?) but it just cracked me up that the stormtrooper suits are in the courtroom menacing the judge.

quote:
Any extra security the Stormtroopers might provide wasn't sitting well with Judge Anthony Mann, who cast a glance at the silent props standing beside him.

"Are they going to stay there for the entire trial?" he asked.

I don't know how much security they'd be, they seem to have some difficulty landing a shot and their armour has this a major vulnerability to not just lasers, but also apparently rocks and sticks. I'd feel pretty confident taking them on with a '45.

How's Lucas going to afford a 10th Solid Gold mansion if that thief gets to make a living?

The trick is, we all need to learn to master the force. Then we can rob and not get caught. If everybody steals, nobody loses anything and the world is a perfect utopia. On the other hand... Lightsabers are pretty dangerous and when there are people like Keith Richards in this world I dont think the force would be wise... Changed my mind...
