How Jedi Knights’ remix for Depeche Mode failed in US

Who would think that Tom Middleton and Mark Pritchard had problems with licensing the coolest techstep remix of Depeche Mode across the ocean? When their British label sent all the versions to the US, the Americans got nervous—Mark and Tom released their works as Jedi Knights, so Lucas’ company could easily sue them for using “Jedi” from Star Wars. Mark and Tom allegedly decided to release their remix as Global Communication alias but it didn’t go any further than promos in US. They didn’t need to worry!
