I was pretty pissed off myself that Episode II and III did not get the all access fly on the wall documentary as did episode I.

That put you in the mind of Lucas and his crazyness, like"Jar Jar is the key to this thing".  And "i made more American graffiti and it made ten cents", "you can destroy these things it is possible."

LOL, No chance of that happening.

A lot of people believe "The Beginning" was this hard-hitting no-holds barred type of documentary but i didn't see it that way.  One thing, it would be totally out-of-character for LFL to have something that wasn't completely sanitzed and fluff.  another thing is that TPM was such a train-wreck FUBAR that there was no way to cover it up or spin it. 

For jar Jar - at one point lucas and mccallum talk about how cool it would be to have a full CGI character.  So they admit to just wanting a full CGI character, just for the sake of having one. 

I heard a rumor that natalie was injured during this movie - fat chance of any documentary having footage of that!! lol

That scene with lucas talking about "poems and stanzas" was so hilarious.  and they was he rolls his eyes you can just see he's full of shit.  of course he couldn't just say "im gonna repeat and rehash stuff cuz im running out of ideas and never had this saga planned out, so im resorting to gimmickry and redundancy".  But because he used "poems, verses", people bought into it and you heard crap like "oh look! AOTC has asteroid battle!!  like in ESB!! lucas says he likes recurring themes!! this is absolute genius!!!"  :(

anyway,  I thought the within a minute was a good idea for documentary -  it just got a little out-of-scope when talking about the caterer (!) and the payroll department ;)
