Watch The People take on George Lucas in this new trailer | Movie News
Since I started writing here at JoBlo a few months ago, one of my biggest surprises has been seeing how most of you guys are quite adamant about defending George Lucas and his decision making process behind “enhancing” the original trilogy and creating three poorly received new installments. The general consensus I hear is “it’s his series, let him do what he wants, he doesn’t owe us anything.”
Well, I’m interested to hear your take on this film project then, THE PEOPLE VS. GEORGE LUCAS, which chronicles the nerd rage against Lucas and what he’s done to their beloved STAR WARS universe. The trailer is below and it features people taking the thing way too seriously, but sometimes raising valid points.
My own opinion? I’m used to being flamed for it at this point, but I think Lucas does owe the fans his best effort to make films worthy of the universe he’s created, and things like re-releases and toy-friendly new movies just seem like cash grabs. I think Lucas has some great ideas, but needs creative control which everyone is too afraid to give him. I think on the inevitable next STAR WARS trilogy, he should consult and advise, but not write or direct, as those duties seem to be beyond him these days.

Extra Tidbit: Our own JoBlo has a cameo appearance in this documentary, woo-hoo!

Now, you are wrong. Yes, E.IV is the only one that lucas wrote and directed, but why in the fucking hell does that negate the other two films in the origin...

Finally, sure, the kids now growing up with the new SW (TV shows, prequels, etc) may enjoy them, but when you look at each of the three new films objectively and take them out of the SW universe, you can't call them good, in any fashion, so, the imagination may be igniting a new generation, but as movies, they are terrible.
Finally, it's his vision, but without the fans, there wouldn't be a "George Lucas", so he does owe us, and we owe him.

umm...what? i hope not. let it end where it ended and be done with it! (read that in the same voice of the guy that fussed at george costanza about double dipping)
2. "Hayden Christensen as Anakin might be one of the worst casting decisions of all time"
what other douche could they have casted?

Lucas gets way too much credit for basically coming up with a knight rescuing a princess from an evil emperor and putting it in space. The last 4 movies he was involved in were viewed as failures from an audience's viewpoint

As for this documentary, it looks very good, and I intend to see it with as much objectivity as possible.

I think this new documentary is kinda dumb to be honest cause George can't satisfy everyone, that's impossible. Even if he did listen to what the fans wanted, people would still find some reason to complain or say that he "trampled on their childhoods". Bull!
