Hi Shaun,
Yeah, it started off I got the run around trying to find the right 
department head to talk to. I emailed several with no responce, and when 
I did finally get any responce I was quoted what seamed like acanned 
message about Lucas Arts holding all legal rights to Star Wars games, 
and that to produce a game I'd have to pay upfront royalty fees, and so on.
Basically, they wanted more than I can afford, and as soon as they 
figured I am a one man show with little money to be earned off of my 
ideas, I basically was blown off as a fly on a giants butt.
In short if you are going to approach Paramount or Lucas you need to 
have a multimillion dollar idea like producing toys, games, etc that 
they can suck up a huge percentage of the proffets. Otherwise get lost.
Everyone in the accessible games business knows there is no gold mine, 
and what little money you made off of your Star wars or Trek idea would 
be gobbled up by the copyright holders leaving you with zip.
If you want to release it give it away for free. Worst they can do is 
say take it down.
