Koo Stark's Lawsuit
Prince Andrew's ex-girlfriend, Koo Stark, is taking legal action against Star Wars producers for a whopping £190 million. The US actress, known for her role as Camie Marstrap in the 1977 movie "A New Hope," had her scenes cut from the film.
Exploitation of Intellectual Property
Stark's character, Camie Marstrap, was recently revived in Disney's 2021 show "The Book of Boba Fett" with a different actress. The lawsuit claims that Star Wars creators profited from Stark's likeness when they brought back the character.
Legal Battle
The legal action was initiated by British actor Anthony Forrest, who played Stark's boyfriend in the film. He alleges that their intellectual property rights were exploited when cut scenes were released on DVD, leading to their characters appearing on various merchandise without compensation.
