The People vs. George Lucas
They gave him their love, their money and their online parodies. He gave them... the prequels.
Directed by Alexandre O. Philippe
Produced by Exhibit A Pictures, Quark Films
A playful, affectionate documentary that mines the tension between creator and fandom, celebrating fan devotion while gently interrogating ownership and artistic legacy.
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?
