Review of The People vs. George Lucas (2010) by David U — 29 Oct 2012

Interesting and must see documentary for Star Wars fans that feel that George Lucas destroyed his masterwork by re editing his films and dumbing them down. This film looks at the cultural impact of Star Wars, the legacy it has created, the infamous prequels that don't hold a candle to the originals.

I grew a diehard Star Wars fan, and I remember when Phantom Menace came out, I was 14 at the time. I thought it was a decent film, but it didn't have that spark that the originals had. Also with the tweaked special editions, I felt it ruined the original experience of watching the original Star Wars trilogy, and made me ask the question, why fix something when it.
