...words in a new pro-SDI television commercial. George Lucas, creator of the Star Wars movie trilogy, hates the usage most of all. His company, Lucasfilm, asked a Washington federal district court to enjoin the TV spot on the ground that it damages a valuable trademark (film revenues to date: $1.3 billion) by taking Star Wars out of "the congenial realm of fantasy and entertainment" and associating it with "the frightening world of nuclear holocaust and death." When Judge Gerhard Gesell refused to issue an immediate restraining order last week, Graham crowed, "The empire struck back, but the empire struck...
