I'm working on a novel where one of my main characters is young, and supposed to be obsessed with anything under the brand name "Star Wars"(Especially pertaining to the movie.) When talking with friends, they often bring up that I could get sued for using the "big brand name" in my work. I personally believe that there should be a way for me to include it in my own world building without claiming it as my own, right? One friend of mine said that he thinks it would fall under fair use, however now I'm trying to check every copyright policy under a .gov site I can get my hands on. I don't have much money, time, or experience in court, so if I want to try and put in the extra work to publish my book, I'd like to avoid any possible legal trouble WITHOUT compromising my characters if I don't have to. Anyone have any resources I can look at that pertains to my situation? It'd really help.
