Amy Schumer looks hotter than a lightsaber on the cover of GQ, posing as Return of the Jedi's captive Princess Leia whilst sucking suggestively on C-3PO's android finger. 

With her new movie Trainwreck coming out today and the success of her Peabody-winning sketch show, Inside Amy Schumer, the comedian is blowing up like a Death Star.

Everybody seems to love this rising talent, witch the exception of Lucasfilm and Disney. 

The Star Wars Twitter page is up in arms like a Tusken Raider over Ms. Schumer's unapproved use of the beloved and trademarked characters from a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

Lucasfilm has always been protective of their franchise as if it was their Padawan. 

They've sued everyone from Lt. Gen. Daniel O. Graham (for using the term "Star Wars" as a nickname for President Ronald Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative) to Dr. Dre (for using the iconic THX deep note for an intro to one of his songs).

There's a lesson to be learned—don't mess with Star Wars!

One fan tweeted a warning for Amy, "@starwars@slashfilm Someone's going to get Force choked..."
