It’s easy to laugh at George Lucas for suing people left right and center, but when his latest target is a company calling itself “Jedi Mind Inc.” you can’t help side with the bearded movie maker. They’re asking for it.

Jedi Mind Inc. makes a range of “thought-controlled” technologies, including a wireless headset supposed to let users play games and operate their computers without touching anything if they think hard enough about, along with a $99 “Jedi Mouse”. Lucas previously cease & desist-ed the company back in 2009—but claims it never went through with its promise to stop using the Jedi name to sell its stuff. Hence a new suit for $5m. [Reuters]
