Sounds like an HK of some sort.

This is going to be a travesty on all fronts.

You do have a point, the description of the project is a little "cryptic".

The actual DVD is just as strange. From the moment the opening crawl ends, you get assaulted by a barrage of media clips, as if a kid with ADD has grabbed your remote and started flipping through the news channels.

However, it makes for strangely compulsive viewing. Before I knew it I had watched the first half an hour, covering topics such as the "Tool of Satan" hoax and fan-hatred of Jar Jar Binks.

I didn't get to the stuff about the leaked workprint, the take-down of elitetorrents and the "Backstroke" bootleg, which was the main reason I downloaded this documentary (sorry, "documediamentary"). I certainly don't think anyone could watch the whole 3 hours in one sitting!

Technically, the disc is very well put together - the intros and animated menus look professional and polished, and the editing is flawless. AV quality is variable, due to the different sources used, but all credit to the creator for the painstaking amount of time it must have taken to splice this together from the hundreds of different sources used.

I want a copy even more than I want a Nick Cave Doll.

Thanks, Moth3r.  I came to this thread intending to ask if anyone HAD seen it, and from what you've said it's certainly worth at least a look.  The NFO has an impressive pedigree....and it's also amazingly uninformative.

[For some reason I can't get edit to work.]

Strange, disturbing, fascinating.  Compulsive, as Moth3r said.  I've only watched scattered bits, but the frequent cuts DO keep one watching.  The endless stream of 181st members gets a bit old, line after line of stormtroopers marching, but for the most part it's definitely designed for a channel-flipping world.

I doubt that I'll ever watch it all at once, three and a half hours is a bit much to take in one go, but I am definitely glad that I downloaded it.  The creator(s) definitely did much research, and it shows.  And there are even subtitles!

Thanks again for your comments.  They convinced me to look into it.  And I appreciate it.

Is....is that the framework of a graboid in your avatar there Matt?

I watched about half of this. Very interesting collection of Star Wars being used by the media. Even listened to bits and pieces of the commentary. It's uses some synthesized voice, so it's difficult to listen to for too long. I noticed during the long capture of the stormtroopers walking in, the commentary was counting off each seperate trooper. It's also pretty vulgar and is usually talking about something completely unrelated to what is happening on the screen, but it's nonetheless interesting to listen to for at least brief periods.

As much as I want to see this you may want to take your links down and give them out to people via PMs to keep within the forum rules.

It certainly looks like it makes for a feast for the eyes.

Actually that might not be an issue if the DVD is public domain like it states.  From what I gather none of the footage used is really copywrited, though honestly I'm not going to go through all those sources to double check....

This is utterly unwatchable.  I feels like the creator of this DVD just learned Final Cut Pro and thinks more editing = good editing.  It's the worst kind of ADD cutting.  I watched about 3 minutes before shutting it off and throwing the disc away.  Avoid.

That quote alone makes me want to see it. I am a fan of Mr. Bungle, after all.
