I loved the Pink Five series and it always made me sad the saga wasn't finished. I'm really looking forward to the last part of Episode VI.

Thank god that they don't let the fear of bullying prevent them from doing something that is perfectly legal and appropriate.
If they would have knuckled under to the possibility of a letter from a lawyer, they would have let assholes win and sometimes, that's all the reason you need.
Whenever I see a "fan" movie, I think of the mind-warping "Karen Carpenter Story" made by the great Todd Haynes. No Hollywood studio was going to touch such an unauthorized biopic, so the guy ended up making it with barbie dolls and cheap video at his house, even in the face of threats (empty) from the Carpenter estate and legal trolls and it ended up being something wonderful (though not for everyone's taste).
Not everything has to cater to the expectations of Hollywood norms. Not everything has to satisfy everyone. I could give a shit about Star Wars, but I salute anyone who puts that kind of work into their vision of something, not because it's great art, but because they followed through on something that wasn't easy and almost certainly was a lot of fun to make. Who knows, maybe the next "fan" movie will be something great and enduring, or at least inspiring.
I really, really don't want to think that there's some artist out there, or even hobbyist who will hesitate or not do some work, even something as trivial as "Star Wars fan fiction", because legal industry trolls have stifled them.
