The People vs. George Lucas

Revered by some, feared and demonized by others, George Lucas is undoubtly the most talked about and criticized filmmaker in movie history. Why have so many Star Wars fans turned against him to decry the release of the Special Editions and the Prequel Trilogy? Why is George Lucas the constant target of bloggers, critics and self-proclaimed devotees? And why are millions of others staunchly prepared to defend him in the face of innumerable accusations? The People vs. George Lucas aims to answer these questions, and to impartially deconstruct the cultural legacy of a man whose life, feelings and creative impulses remain largely shrouded in mystery. Paying tribute to the YouTube culture in unprecendented fashion, this groundbreaking documentary film features professional HD footage and amateur homemade videos in equal amounts to craft one of the most original, entertaining, cinematic and widely anticipated portraits in the history of the medium - the world's first digitally democratic documentary. Chock-full of impassioned interviews, powerful musical performances, never-before-seen polaroids from the original Star Wars continuity script, stop-motion and 3D animation, Super 8 action figure films, puppet rants and many other surprises.
