I think the current message at the website answers your question!
"This site has been closed. LucasFilm has asked us to remove this site, as they felt it infringed on their properties."
Looks like Sluggo was one of the last... Too bad the 'text' field was missing when i tried to make one yesterday. Oh well.

Because the old Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers serials did it first!

Doubtful, still there were many other crawls created about how shitty the special editions and prequels were.
A guy even made a crawl about killing george lucas in the middle of the night with a shovel, that is way too overboard. LOL
Still how different was this site than star wars mashups at the original site and the slew of material on youtube?
Now if Universal Pictures and King Features should sue Lucasfilm for using the roll up in the first and subsequent star wars movies. God knows GL lucas never did hundreds of copyright infringement and plagiarism in creating star wars.
Some of the works he swiped from may be in the public domain now but not in 1973 when he wrote that first screen treatment.
Never mind that the treatment is almost word for word taken verbatim from lucas friend Michael Ritchie's book on the films of kurosawa. The synopsis Ritchie wrote for the hidden fortress.
In the third draft script he even stole lines verbatim from Gandalf in the Hobbit, even the kiber crystal the numinous object was stolen from tolkien's lord of the rings.
Get this both the estate of Frank Herbert and Edger Rice Burroughs wanted to sue Lucas for stealing. Neither case ever made it to court, on the one hand because Herbert died before he could pursue a case and Lucas removed the deliberate burroughs borrowings from the final draft script.
According to some Lucas is the biggest hack plagiarist there ever was.
I would not go that far, i think the original star wars tried to put Lucas boyhood daydreaming on film.
Sure he got away with what would be unthinkable today because of the tightening and extra strict laws now put into place, i don't think you could write a film today with so many homages to your favorite classical music, books, comics and films without being sued.
The other problem being Now in Literature and Film you have copies of copies of derivative works. Whatever resonance or originality was to be found in the star wars oot is noticeably absent in the copies other filmakers have made. It does no one any good when three of the bad copies out there happen to be the prequels written by the same author of the originals.

Since they practically stole the "Han Shot First" t-shirt idea, I would not put it past them. ;)
