A NEW DOPE

Having set about with a Revenge of the Sith unleashing the Phantom Menace and DMCA'd Potholer54 and WildwoodClare1's videos, claiming copyright on materials that they used in their videos that prompted a unholy Attack of the Clones or at least a blizzard of mirror videos over the weekend, a small aspect of all of this appears to have been overlooked, in the same way that a small exhaust port at the end of a very long trench was overlooked by the designers of the death star

Many people have picked up on the fact that Amena's channel is full of videos that are used to review and promote products on her commercial website that she links in her videos and that is linked on her channel. Her videos are in effect advertisements.

Nobody seems to have picked up on the fact that the title sequence that she uses that shows the lightsabre and her name in a Starwarsesque font is in direct breach of Lucasfilms copyright and that where as Potholer and WildwoodClaire's videos were non-commercial, not for profit works used to critique Amenakin's stated views and opinions and so were covered by fair use, Amenakin appears to use Lucasfilm's imagery in commercial advertisements.

What are the chances that the purple lightsabre in her intro is officially licenced from Lucasfilm to be used for promoting her business interests?

No I didn't think so either

It looks like the lady throwing stones is living in one hell of a big glass house and while Potholer and WildwoodClaire may get a strike and lose a video, Amenakin and her online business could potentially get sued by Lucasfilm
