Provocative comedian Amy Schumer got a bunch of attention for dressing like Pricess Leia from "Star Wars" in a racy cover shoot for GQ magazine.
Disney, which owns Star Wars, doesn't seem to be thrilled with that attention.
After people on Twitter were crying out that Disney let this happen, the official Star Wars account scrambled to say it thought the cover was inappropriate.
It doesn't look like it's going to amount to much, but the company is trying to distance itself from the GQ shoot. Starting Thursday night, the official "Star Wars" Twitter account sent a series of tweets stating it was not involved in the shoot.
