Lucasfilm Sues Porn Producers

As if the title of the upcoming Star Wars: Episode II movie, Attack of the Clones, wasn\'t hilarious enough, we get yet another piece of humor: According to a news report from the Montreal Gazette, Lucasfilm is suing the producers of a pornographic version of Star Wars, alleging that it\'s too similar to the scifi epic. George Lucas\' production company filed a federal lawsuit against Media Market Group Ltd., the New York producers of Star Ballz, claiming copyright and trademark infringement.

The suit argues that consumers could be confused into thinking that Lucasfilm sponsored or produced the X-rated movie. But Linda Wildblood, a partner at Media Market Group, told the Gazette that her company\'s movie is an animation parody. \"Just like Scary Movie is a spoof of horror movies, Star Ballz parodies many different movies and themes,\" she said. \"No one in their right mind could look at it and say this is Star Wars.\"
