I'm no fan of suppression by copyright, but this guy's going a little far. I mean, Ainsworth had to have known that by designing the costumes for Lucas, the rights to said costumes (made from the original moulds) wouldn't be his. That said, I have no problem with people making stormtrooper costumes for personal use, enjoyment, etc. I think the main issue here is the fact that Ainsworth's were from the original moulds. Oh, and that is one of the most awesome pictures I've ever seen. =D I think I would agree with Lucas and the US courts on this one.

Praise to Lucas Sticky-Drawers, the representitive of, true Americanism. This must be admitted to, when something from the body needs release, barriers must be planned for.
