Lucasfilm Slam Amy Schumer GQ Shoot As 'Inappropriate'

The Star Wars team aren't happy.

More Amy Schumer Amy Schumer Profile

She's quite possibly the hottest thing in comedy right now, but it seems not everyone is a fan of US stand-up Amy Schumer.

The 34-year-old comic recently appeared in a controversial GQ shoot in which she appears in a number of suggestive photos with characters from the Star Wars franchise. 

Among the shots include Schumer posing topless in bed with C-3P0 and R2-D2, standing between Stormtroopers in a can-can line and holding a lightsabre in her mouth.

In response to a fan who vented their outrage on Twitter, Lucasfilm announced that they, nor Disney authorised the risque photo shoot calling it "inappropriate". 

Check out the tweet below:
