Disney has forced a costume shop to hand over a handful of domain names which were using the Star Wars name after a legal battle ruled in their favour.

The domains all redirected people to a section of the Jokers’ Masquerade web store, hosted at joke.co.uk, where the company sells Star Wars-themed costumes.
