The People vs. George Lucas

Documentary
The passion the original Star Wars trilogy inspires in its fans is unparalleled; but when it comes to George Lucas himself, many have found their ardor has cooled into a complicated love-hate relationship. This hilarious, heartfelt documentary delves deep into Lucas’s cultural legacy, asking all the tough questions. Has Lucas betrayed his masterwork? Should he just have left the original trilogy alone? Is The Phantom Menace so bad it should carry a health warning? Utilizing interviews taken from over 600 hours of footage, and peppered with extraordinary Star Wars and Indiana Jones recreations lovingly immortalized in song, needlepoint, Lego, claymation, puppets and paper-mâché, above all this film asks the question: who truly owns that galaxy far, far away—the man who created it, or the fans who worship it?

Smart and informative, The People vs. George Lucas examines the controversy within the Star Wars fan community over George Lucas. The film provides a revealing look at the eccentricities of Star Wars fans, and the effect that the series has had on their lives. However, the majority of the film focuses on the backlash against Lucas's special edition cuts of the original Star Wars films and the prequel trilogy. Numerous fans and filmmakers discuss these issues, and the impact that it has had on the legacy of the franchise. Entertaining and provocative, The People vs. George Lucas is a fascinating and eye-opening documentary.
