Straight from the horse’s mouth – the mass removal of fan and parody vids at Youtube was a mistake. Lucasfilm did ask Youtube to remove video containing ‘material taken from starwars.com’ (probably the Force-powers game concept vid, which was only released to Hyperspace members) and Youtube misunderstood. LFL has asked the site to restore the deleted videos.

Hooray for LFL! I was wondering why they were getting so persnickety, all of a sudden.

I figured it was their lawyers gone nuts – glad to see I was wrong. :)
