    Re: space legends and the SW licence —Fredrik Glöckner
   (...) This rumour has been repeated many times on LUGNET and RTL, but I can't remember that I have seen an actual confirmation of it. Do you have any real evidence that this is so, or are you just basing your above sentence on the said rumour? I (...) (23 years ago, 14-Aug-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space)
   
        Re: space legends and the SW licence —John Gerlach
   (...) The way I heard it - from a friend who worked at LEGO Futura on several of the Star Wars models: The license with Lucas specifies 'no flying spaceships' - or words to that effect. So the 'Life on Mars' sets are ok, since they are strictly (...) (23 years ago, 14-Aug-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space)
   
        Re: space legends and the SW licence —Fredrik Glöckner
   (...) I realize that most vehicles in the LoM-series are ground vehicles, but there is the 7315 Solar Explorer, which is clearly a flying space ship. I also seem to recall that some of the alternate models in the LoM-series are flying space ships, (...) (23 years ago, 14-Aug-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space)

        Re: space legends and the SW licence —Jason Spears
     (...) It was my impression that Life on Mars was supposed to be a supliment to the town theme. To interact with the Space Port sub-theme. (URL) I think the intent was that it wouldn't be a "full fledged space theme". Just a bunch of normal (...) (23 years ago, 14-Aug-01, to lugnet.space)

        Re: space legends and the SW licence —Kyle D. Jackson
   (...) Well, if you look closely at the box front of set 7315, you will see that the ship is not actually flying. It's crashing. It's always baffled me why LEGO would market a crashing spaceship, but now I understand that it's a legal thing with (...) (23 years ago, 15-Aug-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space)
