Responses:

The plaintiff is also suing the late executors of Cushing's estate, and Cushing's agency Associated International Management. - JD Sep 11, 16:00 2
- The judge said in the ruling the other day that he’s skeptical, but he allowed it to proceed. -- nm - David Sep 11, 16:04 1
  - It's one overall suit? So one can sue dead people? - JD Sep 11, 16:09
(given that Rogue One came out eight years ago, might have a statute of limitations issue tho) -- nm - mr mooch Sep 11, 15:55
