What was the name of the REVENGE OF THE SITH documentary that got pulled at the last second from the DVD in favor of the WITHIN A MINUTE one?
Has it ever surfaced in any way?
I have no idea. But The Ending would have been the perfect title.
Since they're like poetry, what with the rhyming and all, I find that I only need to watch three out of the six films.
Huh? There was another doc that Within a Minute replaced?
“Grow up. These are my Disney's movies, not yours.”
Yeah, I am 100% positive I read that. It was a more comprehensive, behind the scenes of the whole movie. But it never got released, that I know of.
When do you remember hearing about the replacement. Before/After the DVD (late 2005)?
It was in 2006 shortly after the DVD came out, some site (probably theforce.net) had Rick McCallum talking about another documentary that got bumped in favor of WITHIN A MINUTE.
Was there any reason given?

Are you sure he [Rick] didn't just mean an idea for another documentary?

I'm not finding any posts similar to this. (but didnt' search too long) Rick did a Hyperspace chat during RotS, but after the Sith release most of the talk from him is about future projects, the Young Indy DVD, Indy script and SW3D. But haven't gone through the hyperspace chats at all, most of that discussion happens in boards.theforce.net.
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."

This sounds like an urban legend.

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 ;)

I love it for that, but I wanted more on, you know.... OTHER parts of the movie aside from that :53 second clip.
Between the DVD docs, the Web docs, the featurettes, The Legacy Revealed, The Journey Pt 1 and 2, and the interviews on the Blu-rays, a fan could probably put together some decent comprehensive documentaries for the prequels.

I just made my own documentary just from exclusive Laserdisc extras from the 1993 DEFINITIVE, 1995 Leonard Maltin interviews, and the Japanese 1997 Special Edition extended documentary.
That's the only original trilogy, though.
