Yeah, I'm not seeing this as a good thing either. I can't put my finger on it, but something about blurring the line between film designs and art doesn't sit right with me. Sure, the stormtrooper helmet design is a work of art, but its also immediately identified with a movie series which is under copyright. Does that mean that in the UK you can make a movie visually identical to an older movie, as long as you don't use any of the character names?
