IANAL, but I think you'll be okay going the independent route as long as no money whatsoever is made. Don't even accept donations. I've seen a number of small independent Star Wars games that were freeware.

Scope may have something to do with it too. If you have a small game that feels small, with a limited number of levels, I think that'd be okay. But if you have a huge game with awesome, professional-looking graphics, you might have some problems as you'd be seen as competing with Lucasarts.

I doubt Lucasarts would accept any contributions from a "nobody". That's not an insult to you, but reflects the way they would see anyone not established in the game industry.
