Certain rules regarding posting stories
posted on: 2/7/2002 2:27:56 PM

OK - I have begun writing a novel for mos strahteks (a city spawned from the posters at swg.stratics.com - check out the site @ mosstrahteks.ultrastore.com - it's currently undergoing a rehaul, but the site is still up and running and the message board is up) - anyhooooo - I was wondering if anyone could tell me the copyright rules concerning Lucasarts etc when coming to characters in my story. I shall be mentioning certain Star Wars planets and characters including Palpatine, Vader and Yoda - can I copyright my story by mentioning the copyrights of Lucasarts' planets, characters and Star Wars or am I not allowed to mention them?

Thanks

As long as you don't treat their characters in an "undesirable" way (sex acts, gratuitous violence, etc), and as long as you are not selling the stories, LucasFilm probably won't care.

Thanks guys - I'll prety much be portraying the characters in my little novel like they are in the films.

Any idea if I can hold the general copyright of the story?
