I just watched it finally.

I think the one major point that the documentary fails on is that it seems to really lack clarification of the "Bonus Disk" issue. No real time is spent clarifying to the average person why the 2006 DVD is an insufficient release. So the ill-informed who watch the documentary will still look at it and say "why are they still complaining, they have the original versions to watch if they want." They do touch upon the issue, but not nearly enough considering how critical the issue is to the whole argument.

i haven't seen this yet but if thats true, then its a huge dissapointment. that 2006 debacle - and the MTV interview - was the greatest indictment of lucas' childishness and fraudulence.

Also disappointing that Dale Pollack doesn't have much coverage. When he came out with that book, lucas screamed bloody murder and claimed it was all full of lies. It basically tells us what we all now know: lucas cannot write, cannot direct, storytelling and editing skills are ridiculously overblown, thin-skinned, didn't care if ESB ended up being a lousy movie(even before it went over-budget), craves merchandising revenue streams above everything else. Problem was, this was 25 years ago and lucas still needed to cultivate a sycophantic fan-base and personality cult. So the truth about him (and the PT) needed to be kept secret. Hence all the subsequent propaganda that followed. There's a good reason why almost no one from the OT cast and crew was surprised at how the PT turned out. dismayed, perhaps - but not surprised.

then again, this doc is supposed to be more about the fans, so maybe it would have digressed.
