Certainly not....
Exactly! If I had your skills I'd be trying to make everything ( Vader/storm-trooper helmet..AT-AT Walker perhaps?! )
I also vote yes for platinum card.
Certainly not....
Interesting. From the limited research that I've done, there is also a medium scope of involvement. As far as I know, Disney does not have anyone producing massive silver statues. If you make ripoff posters or other things that they are selling, it can more easily be construed as you taking sales away from them. Based on the etsy answers that I found, the deal is that if you don't make so many of them that Disney cares, you are fine. Stop when the C&D letter comes though...
These statues are pretty hard to make and time consuming at that. I can't really see making more than a few for just the handful of forum fans out there.

Yes, that is another of the few scenarios. I have all sorts of Disney silver (although no statues, but I'd be surprised if they didn't make them). In any event, you would certainly get a cease and desist letter from their legal team long before any action was taken so I don't think it's a major concern.
I did quite a bit of research on this topic before releasing some of my custom engraved silver rounds. It was a while ago, but there are a few situations when it is acceptable to do what you're doing. However, in all those situations while it is legal for you to sell these items as 1-off products, it is NOT legal for them to be resold by the buyers. For example, I would only buy this product from you with the understanding that 1) I'm buying it to educate myself on either the process of creating this silver object, or adding private keys to a physical object, 2) That it would be illegal for me to resell it.

Where are the X-wing fighters? 
God... I'd give it a shot, but I wonder how far is too far before Disney comes after me for Intellectual property infringement. I mean, people make Star Wars stuff and sell it on etsy and such without a problem, but I wonder what the threshold is for requiring license to make stuff is.

*edit* Eh, for as few as I'd make, it doesn't seem to be an issue. I'll play around with it, but I have a feeling it wouldn't turn out as well.

Just so I understand, the hologram came off in the washer/dryer? And you couldn't find the little piece of paper?
No idea, it was just gone when I pulled my jeans out of the dryer.
I've accidentally run something around that size through the wash & dry and when I found the paper it was crumpled in a ball and all color/text was gone. Completely destroyed and it was a lump of dried paper although it wasn't anything of value, I believe a post it with sharpie written on it.
In regards to the auction, the piece looks awesome Salty!
