Considering most of the cast members are known primarily for their attachment to Star Wars (and thus those events are pretty important to them today), that seems a little extreme to me, like it's a personal feud (see Shatner and Takei).
It must have been something more recent that triggered this. But yes, it does seem like a personal feud.

Surely he can't have been totally banned from conventions; Lucasfilm might be rich, but they're not the people running them. I mean, he might be banned from appearances at Lucasfilm panels and whatnot, but surely he could buy a ticket to ComiCon or whatever just like anyone else. :|
