Lucas and Ainsworth - Light Sabers meet over costumes
Andrew Ainsworth is the orginal designer of Stormtrooper outfits for the orginal Star Wars movie - A new hope in 1976. Not a bad outfit for £30,000.
In 2004, Andrew Ainsworth claims he found a helmet in a cupboard of his and since then, he has been making replica helmets and selling them to fans for about £1500 a piece!.
Now, Lucas finds out about this and sets his lawyers loose on Ainsworth. Lucasfilm is suing Andrew Ainworth for £10 million for copyright infringement.
Andrew Ainsworth on the other hand, is counter suing Lucasfilm claiming that he has the right to every dollar of Lucasfilm’s merchandising revenue for the outfits as he is the original designer.
