Oh, and also this one:
Well, as it turns out, neither Lucasfilm nor Disney approved any of that, and the official Star Wars twitter account made that incredibly clear:
@patr1ckw @GQMagazine Lucasfilm & Disney did not authorize, participate in or condone the inappropriate use of our characters in this manner

There are a few more, you get the general idea.
Schemer did the GQ spread ahead of the debut of her movie Trainwreck, which hit theaters on Friday.
