There's a moment where they perfectly capture the first day I saw Phantom Menace in the theaters. There really is a shared culture of that moment when you saw "A Long Time Ago," followed by "STAR WARS" and you felt like you were being sucked off by an angel. Then that anticipate scroll text rolls along with nonsensical jabbering and we all feel like that angel just stopped sucking and denied you release. This documentary captures what it's been like since. Highly Recommended.

Star Wars fans are the most annoying, ignorant, arrogant, melodramatic, self-entitled little fucks. 90 minutes of whiny little bitches complaining that they don't like kids movies when they're 40 like they did when they were 10. Who would have thought? The whole movie is completely repetitive. You could watch any 5 minutes of this, and understand the entire movie.

I was hoping for at least one well-constructed attack on the prequels, but Red Letter Media still has the best one. The rants were repetitive and they didn't critique the films overall (just specific scenes and marketing). However, there were some very good quips I will share with the one friend I have that liked the prequels and "fridge incident". The discussion of the cultural impact of "Star Wars" was also insightful.

Nice job getting Kurtz on camera...the rest was just an overview of the various debates without bringing much to the table.

I came for the subject, I stayed for the frantic, light pace and satisfying touches on every divisive Star Wars aspect. The Originals are my favorite films ever and while I also love the Prequels, they can't hold a candle to the first (last?) three. I have the same conflict many fans feel and I do sympathize with Lucas as a Darth Vader figure. He deserves the utmost respect for his contributions to the world, but God... Han shot first. He fucking shot first. Give me that movie and I'll shut up.

Highly entertaining documentary which excels at funny talking heads and an absolutely outstanding objectivity. Very rarely do you watch a documentary and feel like the full story is told completely with both sides given an equal weight. The People vs. George Lucas is is born out of a love for Star Wars, for the arts and for pop culture.

It is not such a strong documentary, especially the beginning feels rather rushed and if you are a little interested in the whole story you will not hear a lot of new facts as most of them were already discussed to death (Who shot first?, Midichlorians, etc.). But I still give it points for showing a fair image of both sides and for capturing the enthusiasm that the people feel for the films, especially the shots before the release of Episode I were fascinating.

A documentary exploring the love-hate relationship fans have with George Lucas. Instead of just a bunch of talking heads, this is full of clips from Star Wars fan films.

It's a big circle jerk about Star Wars fans made by Star Wars fans. But I mean, it's Star Wars, and I'm a fan, so...just show me where to stand.

They're children's movies about space-wizards! Relax.

Frustratingly reminds you about everything that went wrong with Star Wars and George Lucas - but in a mostly entertaining and passionate way.
