Hi Shaun, Yeah, it started off I got the run around trying to find the right department head to talk to. I emailed several with no responce, and when I did finally get any responce I was quoted what seamed like acanned message about Lucas Arts holding all legal rights to Star Wars games, and that to produce a game I'd have to pay upfront royalty fees, and so on. Basically, they wanted more than I can afford, and as soon as they figured I am a one man show with little money to be earned off of my ideas, I basically was blown off as a fly on a giants butt. In short if you are going to approach Paramount or Lucas you need to have a multimillion dollar idea like producing toys, games, etc that they can suck up a huge percentage of the proffets. Otherwise get lost. Everyone in the accessible games business knows there is no gold mine, and what little money you made off of your Star wars or Trek idea would be gobbled up by the copyright holders leaving you with zip. If you want to release it give it away for free. Worst they can do is say take it down.
