This is about the fan film 'Vader: Shards of the Past', which actually has become a little jewel. Disney and Warner Chappell made a copyright claim to monetize the fan film THEMSELVES.

This is the fan film page. Check the comments. And I agree with the praise:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8918876/

Now they have threaten the Star Wars Theory youtube channel (who made that short) to take down the entire channel if they fight back Disney and Warner monetizing his fan film (after asking him not to monetize it).

I've been posting about this here as well. Lucas film intervened and now the video is back to non monetized for all.parties👍

That's good news.

George Lucas has always treated fans extremely well. There's a big difference between executives who just got there through some MBA or Ivy League degree, and the ones that worked that industry from the bottom.

Very well! I remember contests for best fan films held at celebration😲 George was/is an extremely generous man in many ways👍

If dumb liberals weren't crying about how "piracy is theft", anyone could make a Star Wars movie, and Disney wouldn't have billions of dollars to push social justice messages anymore.
