Just when I started feeling some nostalgia for the Star Wars franchise, I'm IMMEDIATELY reminded of what's become of LucasFilm. And now I'm back to thinking about Jar-Jar. What a joke.

You were essentially parodying the Star Wars crawl. Parody is a legal form of expression. Also, someone overseas will probably just recreate what you did and do out of the reach of Lucasfilm lawyers. It is in this way that lawyers do not serve their client's interests as they are ethically supposed to do. But, anyway, fuck you Lucasfilm.

I'm not angry at Lucasfilm and hope you all aren't either. I think it would have been in their interest to let it stay, as it did generate fan interest in the franchise. But I'm still a Star Wars fan. Maybe in the future, I could pull off a 'generic' crawl, but for now, the site will remain closed. Thanks guys for your words..

It's very disconcerting to see them be little bitches about this, after all, what you did was something to honour their creation.
