Beating the film mogul George Lucas wasn't enough for porn filmmakers Market Media Group. The company filed a counter lawsuit this week, trying to squeeze $140 million out of Lucas for slander.

In November, Lucas Films filed a cease-and-desist order to stop Media Market Group from releasing a porn parody of Star Wars called 'Starballz.' The courts ruled against Lucas, stating there was "little likelihood of confusion."

MMG should just sit tight. The Jedis aren't finished with their appeals from the January ruling.
