Did Ole Miss ask permission and for a freebie or were they willing to give them a % of merch sales?
I know this is some off season stuff

okay let me try this again.
Ole Miss obviously ask Lucas film if they could use a star wars character (I thought Ackbar; frankly no fricks are given who). Lucas film denied the request.
What I am asking is if Ole Miss was to use this as a mascot they would obviously want to sale merchandise using the image. When the asked to use this Lucas property did they offer them a cut of merchandise sales/ royalty?
I know the story is extremely old, but was just curious. Specifically about the offer of royalty to use the lucas films property.

Lucas is known for suing the hell out of anyone that uses his stuff. He told Ole Miss no (according to the ESPN commercial anyway) and that was that.
I do not know if we offered him a cut. Not to sure how much support that idea had from our admin. That being said, Lucas would have still said no based on his track record.

Han Solo should be one of our many "Rebel" mascots. I say bring about a dozen Rebel mascots to the games.
James Dean dude on a harley
Han Solo with Chewy as a sidekick
A Landshark.
The Bear.
Col Reb
William Wallace
George Washington dude
Possibilities are nearly endless.

Thanks for response- my guess is the admin didn't actively seek to make it happen (aka offer a cut). The response was funny Admin and Lucas people probably worked together to make it not happen.

I helped shoot the ESPN short a while back

Lucas said that Ackbar was "not available, since he was busy fighting evil in a galaxy far, far away."
