Ewok Trial Update: A Portland, Ore., woman testified Wednesday that she sent “Star Wars” creator George Lucas an unsolicited plot line five years before a similar idea appeared in his movie “Return of the Jedi.” Jenny Rothschild, 23, said outside a Calgary, Canada, court where Lucas is facing a $129-million suit, that when she was 12 she suggested that “Star Wars” hero Luke Skywalker have a long-lost sister named Lori with a fighting spirit and a taste for action. In “Return of the Jedi,” the third “Star Wars” movie, it is revealed Princess Leia is Luke’s long-lost sister.
