Hi Michael, The sword of Damoclese. is a wonderful expression of what us game developers face. Everyone and his uncle seams to want a Herry Potter game, a Star Wars game, this or that Star Trek game, and as a developer I have the skills but a dangerous position to proceed with it. I do think a Star Wars game would or could be quite lucretive, but I have chosen to proceeed with freeware to avoid copyright issues with the clame you sould this without our permission.
