In Reply to: Is Wested producing jackets currently for the new film? posted by Ravenwood from dynb72.aca.oakland.edu (141.210.173.72) on Tuesday, October 05, 2004 at 4:19pm :

If Wested did get the contract, they'd be sworn to secrecy prior to the release of the movie as part of it. If Lucas is involved in the movie, he'd probably keep the rights to the jacket design and mass market some mall quality krappo knock offs. My guess is Wested will not be allowed to make/sell them, unless Wested wants to pay some outrageous licensing fee to Lucas. The reason Wested gets away with making the 3 jacket versions now is Lucas didn't have the foresight back then to keep the design rights, it was all before the internet.
