File:Star Wars Miniatures figures.jpg

Summary[edit]

Figures from the Star Wars Miniatures game, posed on top of a game board for the same game.

I, User:Alan De Smet took this photograph. I dual license it under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 and Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 licenses. (That is, someone reusing the image is free to reuse it under either license, as they wish.)

The components portrayed are protected by copyright (probably by Wizards of the Coast and Lucasfilm, but I don't know). Fair use of the image can be made because: 1. They are not a reasonable replacement for the actual miniature figures, so there can be no realistic impact on the sales of the figures. 2. They are for illustrative use in the Star Wars Miniatures article. It is not possible to portray the game's components using free replacements of the game components.
