Hi Robin, Yes, Star Trek and Star Wars have rather strict copyrights attached to them. Lucas Film Limited has an extremely strict copyright polacy regarding the use of Star Wars and its characters. However, that mainly applies to products being sold using the copyrighted material. Which I am not planning to sell those games for that reason. What I will be doing with Star Wars is releasing it as freeware as fan fiction. Generally, if you aren't selling the product, give it away as free fan fiction, announce Lucas Film as the original copyright holder, announce to your users Lucas Film is not responcible for any problems encountered by this product, etc they will generally leave you alone.
