Do Star Wars parody t-shirts suck?
I had an idea for a star wars parody tee which I think could be quite good, however do you think that all star wars parody stuff is just a bit crap now? Or is it just a bit of a cop out as people would really just vote based on whether they are fans of the film rather than fans of your shirt? The only one I've seen printed on threadless was 'Darkside of the Garden' which I thought was pretty ace!:

I think george lucas gets pretty protective about his characters being used.

well that's the other thing isn't it - surely there's some sort of copyright, although maybe not as the one above wouldn't have been printed?

Well Parody is protected under fair use. And if GL was that protective there would be a lot less star wars shit out there. I dare say only half the stuff is licensed.
