He asserts that the damages sought by Lucasfilm are closer to $800,000 though that may go higher. I don't think this will kill off Gen Con, by any means. But a dispute of this nature probably makes another Star Wars Celebration unlikely - or unlikely that Gen Con LLC will be asked to run it. Adam Jury has taken a closer look at this on his blog, here.

If this is true and LucasArts chooses to litigate, we can kiss GenCon goodbye. Holy Crap! If this is true and LucasArts chooses to litigate, we can kiss GenCon goodbye.
