Binnenkort komt de film The People vs George Lucas uit, een documentaire waar al jaren aan wordt gewerkt. De film speelt in op het feit dat Star Wars bedenker George Lucas vaak ervan beschuldigd wordt zijn 'kindje' misbruikt te hebben voor het verdienen van zoveel mogelijk geld.
De officiële synopsis luidt als volgt. "The passion the originalStar 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 Warsand 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?"
