Okay, there's a lot to unpack here, so let's take it step-by-step:
 * 1) First, Fair Use and public domain are mutually exclusive—an image can be, at most, one of those two, not both. Public domain applies very narrowly—mostly to images which were never subject to copyright in the first place (e.g. U.S. government images) or for which copyright has expired (to summarize a complex subject, after the life of the author + 95 years).  Fair Use is a doctrine which allows the use of currently copyrighted images under certain circumstances; the tutorial covers the Fair Use analysis and links to offsite resources on the subject.
 * 2) The fact that other users have uploaded or used images has no bearing on your compliance or non-compliance with the Image Policy.
 * 3) If you created an image such that you have copyright in the image, you can choose any licensing template which applies, including usercopyright, the various Creative Commons licenses, and even release into the public domain.
 * 4) Turning to specifics, this image has a license, but no source and no use of the Information template.
 * This image has a few issues:
 * 1) When you find an image online, you must link to the specific webpage on which it appears; in this case, linking to the Wookieepedia page for StarWars.com is not correct, because you must link to www.starwars.com itself. Incidentally, that image does not appear on the main www.starwars.com page, so the source is incorrect.
 * 2) Admins generally don't advise on the legal propriety of licenses users select unless they're transparently wrong. Here, however, the license you've selected is transparently wrong.  Because this is an official Star Wars image, I'm confident LucasFilm and/or Disney have not given you permission to use this image.  As such, the license is wrong.
 * 3) You also didn't use the Information template, although you have all the relevant fields.

Let me know if you have further questions; I'll give you a 24-hour extension on the deadline.
