Cease and desist letter from Disney Legal Dept in 3...2...1...

Agreed.

Looked at the project LICENSE and saw no character licensing waiver from Disney. This not a case of fair use, The package is both branded kenobi and uses copyrighted imagery. Removing all doubt. The image most likely is not in the public domain. But if that is, this should be clearly documented and isn't.

My first impression is, what a noob move.

Taking a step back, lets keep in mind, software is Intellectual Property. All our licenses are meaningless, if coders disregard copyright law.

There is nothing wrong with the software as long as it's fork'ed away. The package name, the main script file name, and entrypoint name should be renamed. The imagery should be deleted.

Send a letter to Disney saying, stay away from our kids then kick them out of the Western world. Then take a shower. Maybe burn our clothes just be sure.

Disney is guilty of mixing good and evil and calling it good. They propagandize your women projecting imagery that men should be rejected. They project themselves as priests seeking to supplant culture and society with their own set of morality and ethics.

We are a separate group, we are priests of technology. And don't want to be stuck in the dark ages forever cuz a group of pervs discovered they can get little girls to pose for the camera and then feed the girls princess fantasies.

BUT that doesn't excuse our actions. If we disregard copyright law.
