It was so perfect... Why would they do this?

Typical Lucasfilms attitude.

[MachiniOs]

Aww this would've been awesome.

[OrionChronicles]

lucasfilm should've let them do it, good advertising

[BmB]

Pretty cool rejection letter though. :D

[Fangz]

Disney has lend their characters for spots teams in the past and made profit off of it. Lucas is an idiot for not doing this.

My cousin is the one who came up with the idea for Admiral Ackbar as the mascot. It started out as a joke. I can't believe it's come so far. Haha.

I voted for it when it first came around but I had a feeling it wouldn't work. So much potential... it seemed too perfect.

lucasarts/lucasfilm or whatever they are have an incredibly tight grip on their IP rights, they'll sue at virtually nothing

Lucas is so dumb. For the usual reasons, AND because he's passing up free advertising and endorsement.
