Michael Heilemann had a very in-depth Star Wars image gallery on Flickr and I had been enjoying seeing some hard to find images. Then, this week his image gallery was struck down like all the other Jedi and yours truly. With Lucasfilm going after image galleries these days, one can only hope they are putting together a comprehensive and quality gallery of their own. Here is some of what Mike had to say about the situation:

"Copyright laws protect Star Wars, but so far Lucas and Lucasfilm haven't been doing the best of jobs with it, so one can only wonder if it isn't in fact better left up to the fans?

Either way, those of you who joined because of my Star Wars addiction, I'm sorry, but there will be no more Star Wars on here from now on in. It's all out there on the net, but you will have to excavate it up on your own, until such a time that

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, I loved Star Wars. I still do, but I'm not sure the opposite is true any more.

It took me a couple of years to build the collection, to tag, organize and inter-link it. And it will take me a couple of years to get over the loss of it and the lack of any proper alternatives."

Be sure to go and read the entire rant/article. I know how he feels and I can't say I blame him.
