George Lucas Contemplates Lawsuit Against Chewy

With the election in full swing, candidate Jason “Chewy” Cohen may find himself needing to make a stop at the local courthouse. Producer George Lucas has stated publicly that he resents Cohen’s consistent utilization of Chewbacca, a character developed in Lucas’s “Star Wars.”
“Due to the stringent international property laws in our country, this could certainly end up in front of a judge,” comments attorney Sean Collin.

In 1992, rapper Luther Campbell and Lucas were involved in a similar type of litigation over Campbell’s use of the name “Luke Skywalker.” As a result, Campbell and Lucas were able to settle out of court with terms that remain private.

Due to its political implications, this particular lawsuit may become much more complicated. “I’ve met Jason Cohen” Lucas recently said publicly, “I believe that he has none of the characteristics of Chewbacca. He reminds me more of a short-circuited C-3PO. He’s much more Android than Wookie.”

Wookie or not, with a heated election and a lawsuit happening simultaneously, for Jason “Chewy” Cohen things certainly may be ‘getting hairy’.
