Lucasfilm and Disney Decry Amy Schumer Star Wars Shoot
I believe this falls under fair use and parody realm.
A studio spokesperson told Variety, “It’s not surprising that GQ would want to capitalize on the cultural cachet of ‘Star Wars,’ but Lucasfilm and Disney did not authorize, participate in or condone the inappropriate use of our characters in this manner.”
GQ did not consult with Disney or Lucasfilm on the content of the shoot, a studio rep says, but because the photos are obviously parodying the iconic franchise, they’re covered under fair use. A source close to Disney admitted that there was no legal recourse for the parody — beyond social-media disapproval.
There is even a hardcore XXX Adult film parody of Star Wars using Star Wars props including R2D2 and C2PO and you never heard Lucas and Disney crying foul about it.
Even Luke Skywalker himself got all excited:
