Lucasfilms Asks YouTube To Put Fan Flicks Back Up

by Piers Fawkes

A couple of days after YouTube removed fan-made films about Star Wars, Lucasfilms has asked YouTube to put them back up. The Starwars blog says:

Lucasfilm has been informed that YouTube recently removed from its site several fan-made Star Wars spoofs and parodies. We would like the fan film community to know that this was not done at our request.

Apparently the action was taken by YouTube as a result of a misunderstanding of a request to remove an item containing material taken from starwars.com without our permission. We have asked YouTube to restore any works that they inadvertently removed.
