LucasFilm is Suing

The Disney-owned LucasFilm is suing two different programs, New York Jedi School & Lightsaber Academy and the San Francisco Based Lightsaber Academy, for their Star Wars Themed classes.

The New York Jedi School promises to offers the best light saber classes while the Lightsaber Academy in San Francisco offers certificates for lightsaber Instructors.

Not only does Disney feel these programs do not compare to the real Star Wars programs but they are also using the Star Wars trademarks without permission.


The complaint was filed Friday in a California federal court, LucasFilm is suing the defendants for using the company’s trademark and because the New York Jedi School applied for the trademark “New York Jedi”, also their Light Saber Academy logo too closely resembles Lucasfilm’s logo. They are requesting the defendants withdraw all trademark requests, stop using their trademarks and destroy all related materials, transfer all URLs to Lucasfilm and they are seeking $2 million dollars in statutory damages for each trademark used.

The defendants say they have tried numerous times to get Lucasfilm’s permission to use the trade mark but have been denied. In response to this Lucasfilm said that they have sent cease and desist to the New York Jedi School. In both lawsuits, it is made clear the attempts for permission was requested after the cease and desist.

So now that these schools will have to stop teaching how to be a Jedi where can you go to learn all about this? Well, “Jedi Training” is available for preschoolers, kids and young adults at Walt Disney World. Older fans will just have to wait for the much anticipated Star Wars land to receive their training!
