Hi Bryan, Yeah, I know. I've been wavering on releasing my own Star Wars games for that very reason. Lucas has some extremely restrictive licensing on that particular trademark and even releasing a game as open source wouldn't necessarily exempt someone from a lawsuit. It would only make it less likely do to the fact no money was made off of it. However, the same could be said for Fan Fiction, and there have been cases were Fan Fiction authors have been dragged into court for even writing about Star Wars and other trademarked materials for free. So it is definitely a serious issue to take into account.
