I don't know, I just watched it the other day and while I liked some parts, I have a feeling that it doesn't help our cause at all, because I think that to an outsider, it really makes us look like whiny fanboys.
Because instead of showing someone calmly stating what the problem is and why we're so upset about it, it shows a bunch of nerds ranting very loudly about Han shooting first.
I agree that some things were excessive, like that home video of the woman yelling at George and making him write a new script. Yet, the director seemed to balance the fanboy rage with other opinions of people explaining why all the changes make the films worse, change the characters, and basically make no sense. There were even a couple people saying the "r'ed my childhood" analogy was nonsense, which I liked since that's a foolish thing to say.
I liked everyone's responses to The Phantom Menace. They all kind of sat there recalling their first viewing experience how shortly into the movie they began to feel intense disappointment.
I rewatched the first TPM trailer after the documentary, and I had a rush of nostalgia for being 14 years old, seeing that trailer, and being blown away. Watching it now, I saw elements that looked interesting if done correctly and others that looked stupid (Binks).
There's a good interview with the documentary director at RedLetterMedia, but I'm guessing everyone here has seen it.
