Star Wars Stormtrooper Design Lawsuit Comes to an End

Following up from a story we reported on back in early April, it looks like the copyright fortress that keeps George Lucas as its king is impenetrable after all. As you might recall, Andrew Ainsworth, who designed the Stormtrooper costumes for the original Star Wars film, had run afoul with Lucas by selling replicas of the costumes using the original molds. But after months and months in court, the final decision has come down and it’s sort of a win/loss for both sides.
