I severly doubt that, since I can think of several sci-fi series which steal heavily from Star Wars. Not to mention several fantasy series.
Quote:It doesn't even matter if our hypothetical star wars author avoids the
use of the trademarked starwars and no jedi or sith show up, derived can
stretch quite a bit. Add to that the insane cost of a copyright
lawsuit, and the even more insane cost of losing such a suit and few
would be willing to risk it.
Overzealous copyright enforcement of this type can bite copyright holders in the ass as well. Remember the scifi/fantasy author who was forced to pay out to a fanfiction writer for stealing ideas from the fanfic writer?
It's basically an area that is very poorly covered in law at the moment.
