Lucasfilm v. Gen Con Lawsuit Dismissed
The Lucasfilm lawsuit against the Gen Con gaming convention is no more! A dismissal notice, filed today with the US District Court and signed by the presiding judge, dismissed the lawsuit. The short version is that Lucasfilm expects to resolve their disputes during the bankruptcy proceedings. I previously reported on the Chapter 11 reorganization plan for Gen Con and how the filing had a hopeful tone regarding payment of outstanding debts. Apparently, Lucasfilm agrees.
The document is very brief, but you are welcome to check it out for yourself at the link below.
