This is a cool documentary that serves as both a hate filled diatribe to the man many of us grew up loving,and still do even after all the hateful words have settled.GL is a man who sits atop the biggest franchise in history,yet feels that it is his and he can do what he wants and show it how he feels it should be shown.The question of when does art belong to the masses who embrace it is asked and it is a good question.If we all grew up loving what we saw,yet the creator was never truly happy poses the question is it alright to tinker,or is it now the masses property?
Well this film gives us many passionate nerds and their opinions and raises some interesting ideas.My personal opinion remains Lucas has always been more of a savvy businessman than storyteller,as cemented by the fact that two of the three original films were co written and directed by other people.Yet the entire new trilogy was all Lucas all the time,and was pretty terrible at best.GL will remain a subject of nerd fascination and repulsion for the rest of time,and this doc does a good job of explaining why.Check it out.
