Prince Andrew’s ex Koo Stark sues Stars Wars for huge sum after cut scenes appear online

PRINCE Andrew’s ex Koo Stark is suing Star Wars producers for £190million.

The US actress, 68, who dated the Duke of York in the 1980s, played Luke Skywalker’s pal Camie Marstrap for the 1977 movie A New Hope — but her scenes were cut.

They have since been made available online and on DVD and her character was revived in Disney’s 2021 Book of Boba Fett spin-off TV show, but with a different actress.

Now litigation filed in an LA court claims Star Wars creator George Lucas’ production company and others profited off Ms Stark’s likeness when it revived the character.

The legal action was brought by British actor Anthony Forrest, 73, who played her boyfriend Fixer — also cut from the 1977 film and played by another actor in 2021.

Court documents say that Stark and Forrest’s intellectual property rights were exploited when cut scenes were released on DVD.

Their characters appeared on trading cards, in books, as action figures and in promotional material for The Book of Boba Fett.

Forrest, of Hastings, East Sussex, also played the Stormtrooper who delivered the line: “These aren’t the droids we’re looking for” in 1977, and claims he was never compensated.

He is also claiming £190million.
