George Lucas Sues Gen Con
 

http://reporter.blogs.com/thresq/200...film-sues.html

Thoughts on how a ruling against Gen Con would affect them? Would the future of Gen Con be in jeopardy, or is a million to them just a drop in the bucket? And even if the money wasn't an issue, would the negative press impact anyone? If true, it seems a little skeevy stealing money from charity, but then again most cons seem to be run by less-than-reputable individuals anyway.

You can't get much lower than stealing from Make-A-Wish.

I have to concur with Annette.

I hope the case is expedited, and doesn't drag on.

And hot on the heels of Lucas suing Gen Con comes news that they just filed for bankruptcy...

"Gen Con LLC announced today that it has filed for Chapter 11 protection in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the State of Washington. This action became necessary as a result of significant unforeseen expenses associated with attempts to expand its core business to encompass externally licensed events."

Like, oh, defending against a lawsuit from a guy who has more money than God?
