The offline image still shows illegal non-LEGO part being used for hinges on
the top. I would suggest using
 
Part No: 60478  Name: Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Bar Handle on End
* 
60478 Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Bar Handle on End
Parts: Plate, Modified
and
 
Part No: 63868  Name: Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Clip on End (Horizontal Grip)
* 
63868 Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Clip on End (Horizontal Grip)
Parts: Plate, Modified

they can form equivalent 2x2 to 2x2 hinge plates and is 100% legal LEGO build.

I would also suggest not using copyrighted material if BrickLink does not have
permission from the copyright holder (Disney).

Where does it say the picture is Star Wars themed? It's just mere coincidence
that the 2 minifigs look like copyrighted character from the movie. The rest
of the moc doesn't have any Disney look or feel.

I just know Disney is not an entity you want to get a lawsuit from.

On one side, this is fanart and therefor ok. On the other side this is a Commercial
side. But what about all those minifig Images in the catalog?
There are arguments for both side here.

Yeah :/ if I tried to sell a set of 3 circles, 2 small and one large they'd
probably claim I am ripping off the silhouette of a certain mouse. They are a
tad touchy about copyright issues.

Why did I see this Topic comming? After every downtime the same complaints Keep
coming up.

PS: My Suggestion would be an original MOC-Picture, not just a SW moc.

They cannot replace the hinges because they did not make the MOC.
They would have to build something new (and yes, only LEGO please).

I wonder if it is used with permission, or if they just removed the photographers
mark.

Because sadly nobody cared enough to actually change the image.

Yes please!
