Lucasfilm is demanding that popular photo-sharing site ImageShack ( https://imageshack.com ) cough up the identity of one of its users the studio says uploaded an infringing photograph connected to its upcoming Star Wars movie.
ImageShack has already deleted the picture from user "Darth-Simi" whose account was used to post a picture that was described as a villain from the upcoming "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" movie. The image included a glimpse of a red crossguard lightsaber like the one shown in a teaser trailer officially released in November. Lucasfilm's parent company, Disney, is seeking a San Francisco federal court to order California-based ImageShack to turn over Darth-Simi's personal information.
