Quote of today
"Look sir -- droids."
The stormtrooper got a clue.
A New Hope
Andrew Ainsworth designed the storm-trooper helmets and was paid $70 (GBP35) each for 50 helmets made for the 1977 film. But he says he owns the merchandising rights and is entitled to a multi-million dollar pay off.
In 2004 he sold copies of the outfits for $3,600 (GBP1,800) each - but was stopped by George Lucas who claims he owns the copyright. But Ainsworth is claiming the copyright has expired because the uniforms were industrial design, not art.
