A documentary would be interesting. At the moment though, I kind of picture a book that tries to collect as many sources as possible and try to put them in a relevant order, either when the information was spoken/written chronologically, and then relevant by subject. Kind of picture multiple quotes and quotations put in an order as if it was telling a story about a certain subject, with minimal interruptions by the editors of the book in order to avoid as much subjective framing as possible.

Then, at the end of each section or chapter, each editor could write their own summary of the information where they interpret it as they see it. But, let each editor share their own interpretation in order to keep primary sources, like interviews, tweets, book passages, somewhat separate from the editors’ subjective influence. That way reader’s can come to their own conclusions rather than the whole book being framed in a pro or anti-Disney/Lucasfilm light.

Sure, journalists are expected to be somewhat unbiased, but even professional journalists can be biased. Almost every article or news headline has been framed in some shape or form. And for something like this hypothetical Star Wars book, if it was being written/edited by amateurs, then showing some extra effort to keep the objective and subjective separate might lend a little credibility to the whole thing, rather than it being perceived as a project with ulterior motive to paint the new movies in a certain light.
