This is really funny and i thought i might share it with everyone.
I believe it was a project where people contributed 15 secs of video
footage to make this movie.
Wow…

It’s pretty impressive, but I wonder how long it’ll be before Lucasfilm
issues a DMCA takedown notice.

Not sure but that would be a shame. I mean its not stealing anything,
its more like a contribution and homage.

I don’t know, parody is fair use. With the time that went into this, I would think the producers would put up a challenge.

Fair use also typically involves a short segment. It might be argued
that it is entirely “short segments”, but Lucas has proven to be very
protective of the Star Wars brand. “Droid” is a registered trademark of
Lucasfilm - and they get a royalty for each Motorola Droid device sold
IIRC.

I know, and it would be a shame, but Lucasfilm have been very protective
of the brand over the years.
And he’s now announced he’s retiring without making the last 3 Star Wars
films, saying essentially “All the fans hate me anyways, so why would I
open myself to more of that?”
He seems to hold a lot of animosity towards the fanbase.

There are no time or length constraints for parody, but I’m sure Lucas is very aggressive and will make some noise.

Huh? He must be out of his mind.

Go figure.

It would be a bit rich if he did that, considering the number of
similarities [coincidental, of course] between Star Wars and Dune.

Both are a basic ‘messiah’ story. It’s a very common theme in literature.
That’s a bit different than reusing the music and the script…

It’s not new, that’s been going on for a long time. Motorola’s TV ads
note that “Droid is a trademark of Lucasfilm”, and AFAIK always have.

I think i never pay attention to any off that.
This world gets quiet complicated, doesn’t it.
Naturally i like LucasArts since they brought so nice adventure games to
the world unlike DOS which was quiet boring. 
But yes, business is business.
Still i think that there will nothing happen. I read lately another
story about ScummVM and it was basically a similar case. Was a nice
read. (see ArsTechnica)

I probably wouldn’t have noticed it if someone hadn’t pointed it out to
me, either.

It sure does.

Oh, I do as well - Lucas revolutionized a lot of filmmaking, and he
should get respect for that.

I’d be surprised if Lucas didn’t do something, unless they asked for
permission (which is entirely possible).
