The idea here is to make a documentary...I'm trying to say from experience that "release the originals" isn't enough material to make a decent documentary. That will also make us sound like whiney star wars geeks.
A documentary that only asks for the OT will get the attention of other Star Wars fans...but in this article Lucas directly admits that he doesn't care what the fans think. If he's not changing his mind about the OT from the number of signatures on this petition, a documentary about it won't change his mind either. If we have something that gets the attention of other directors...maybe we'll have more luck. And if we can show that Lucas has taken too much credit, that will get the attention of the other directors.
I'm going to wait and see if anyone agrees with me before I discuss this any more...if no one else agrees with me, I'll just drop the "lucas took too much credit" aspect of it, and I'll help you guys do whatever you want to do.
So everyone who wants to take part in this, or anyone who's just browsing through, what do you think? Should we A) Do a documentary that only asks for the original trilogy; or B) Do a documentary that asks that same question, but also points out that Lucas may have taken too much credit. Everybody who's reading this please tell us what you think...and read what we've both been saying before you vote
I'll be happy to help out in any way I can, whichever way we decide to do this.
By the way, This was posted recently by Jay. Let's make sure we keep that in mind while we talk about this, it's started to get just a *little* heated, and that's the last thing we want.
