There are passionate Star Wars super fans who meet, dress up as Jedi or Sith, and attend classes that teach them how to fight with lightsabers, but now the company behind the Star Wars-themed lightsaber classes, Lightsaber Academy, are being sued by Disney, who owns the Star Wars franchise.
A segement that originally aired on December 21 on VICE News Tonight on HBO was recently uploaded online.
In the video, Lightsaber Academy Founder Flynn Michael told VICE News correspondent, "Unfortunately, we're all afraid of being sued by Disney and Lucasfilm."
The super fan is being sued for $2 million in damages for his logo, using terms like "lightsaber" and "Jedi", and for giving out Jedi teaching certificates. You can check out the details about the lawsuit here.
