"Even though I may give permission for people to use the models in their images, permission is needed from LucasFilm to use the vehicles in a commercial project." Hoag, just to clear up any misconceptions here: 1. We need LucasFilm's and/or LucasArts' permission to distribute (free or for sale) any of their trademarked or copyrighted items 2. We need LucasFilm's and/or LucasArts' permission to post public images using any of their trademarked or copyrighted items We can't use the fact that they haven't yet sued us (or sent us a cease-and-desist letter) as evidence that distribution is legal or allowed in any way. The reason they haven't sued us is that we're too low under the radar, beneath notice as it were, and they have much bigger fish to fry. They tolerate fan art and fan activities because they know that exercising their rights in that regard is not worth the time and money it would require. Going after bootleg CDs, DVDs, merchandise et al. (usually emanating from PRC) is more than enough work for their legal department.
