- Synopsis
- They gave him their love, their money and their online parodies. He gave them…the prequels. 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. Utilizing interviews taken from over 600 hours of footage, and peppered with extraordinary Star Wars and Indiana Jones re-creations lovingly immortalized in song, needlepoint, Lego, claymation, puppets and papier-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?

-
-
"Entertaining if mildly worrisome."
-
"You'll wish you could escape to a galaxy far, far away."
-
"A devastating indictment of our modern geek culture of entitlement."
-
"If you're a Force completist, this is as crucial as a bootleg of 1978's 'Star Wars Holiday Special' Which, by the way, was awesome."
-
"It's an exhausting airing of nerd grievances, the monolithic arguments leavened only slightly by counterpoints seemingly inserted for comic relief."
