Hi all, thought I would share this project here. The creator has had a previous successful project (The Dark Lords of the Sith, http://kck.st/2K29HJY) but I couldn't find any posts about it.
Personally, I like the theme and that the creator has done custom art for every card, but the rest seems a bit underdeveloped. The printer (PrinterStudio.com) and tuckbox weren't added until I PM'd him.
sinjin and magistrate probably have a more nuanced opinion, but you can't copyright a single world like "Jedi" and "Old Republic" is a common term.
Now, if the deck was called Knights of the Old Republic, you might have Bioware and Disney dogpiling you.
Also, I think EA and Disney have done something with the licensing, where a lot of the old Extended Universe stuff is now "Legends" and not canon, so I don't know if they mean to relegate that to the public domain or what. I would think Bioware still holds license to the logos and stuff used, though. The problem is that he's specifically naming characters and stuff, and I believe Bioware owns those since they created them.
I like the theme, but I don't like they way it is executed in this deck, or his previous sith deck. So, it's a solid pass for me, regardless of legality.
It doesn’t have to be made-up word. Yes, George Lucas repurposed several Jewish words, including Yoda (to know). Heck, so did the US government with NASA, which means “to lift up”.
