From what I've read here briefly (I'll check out your website at a late date when I have more time) you seem to have the right idea with your documentary and I wish you the best of luck with it. As long as the focus is to convey to Lucas how much love/admiration there is for the OOT amongst the fanbase and beyond into the wider public. Not just a bunch of fanboys saying they've made George Lucas rich over the last 30 years and he owes them the OOT.

Agreed. I think that the focus should be on the respect that we have for him (in spite of the lack of respect that he has for us). No one is asking Lucas to stop the SEs or the PT. ALL that the fans want is for him to put out a high quality version of the OOT. That's ALL. WE NEED TO BE CIVIL, WE NEED TO NOT BE ANNOYING FANBOYS, WE NEED TO MAKE OUT POINT WELL IN A WAY THAT SOUNDS MATURE AND RESPECTFUL.
Here's Mr. English Major Writer's small example: A film can mean so many things. Consider, for example, that moment that a you person sees a certain movie and decides that they want to become a filmmaker. Or that movie that got someone through the hard times when they were in a hospital bed, or that was an instrumental part in forming a bond with a friend, or that they took their beloved to before asking for his or her hand in marriage. Consider the person interview on The Shawshank Redemption DVD who decided not to commit suicide because of the power of the film. A film is so much more than just a simple piece of entertainment sometimes. A film can change lives. A film can become something more than it was intended. A film can take on a life of its own and have meaning beyond anything that some people could ever imagine.
Does that mean that we're OWED the OOT? No, of course it doesn't. But at least it'll give some people and idea of how so many people feel. Not that George will care, but like I say, at least we should be respectful.
