> They make fan games.

This is the subject at hand. Got any examples?

Absolutely. That is a great question, and I am glad that you asked.

I have lots of examples.

Here you go:

https://www.google.com/search?q=play+star+wars+fan+game+onli...

https://www.google.com/search?q=star+wars+fan+mod

https://www.google.com/search?q=star+wars+conversion+mods

Just go to those links, and then at those links start clicking at random anywhere on the page. I'm sure you'll find some.

That's about what I'd expected: Mods and flash-tier free web games.

It gets to the core of my concern: OpenAI API calls aint cheap, and Disney has not made a habit of letting others profit from their IP.

Thats nice and all.

But if you read my original post, you will see that I said:

"I am not saying that there isn't a line. There clearly is."

So the point stands. Go to any of the links that I posted, and you will find many many many examples of infringing content that disney doesn't go after.

It is also funny to me that you had to go all the way back to 2018 to find 1 example of a large fan game being shut down.
