"The People Vs. George Lucas" documentary...
Time

The thing that was offputting in that io9 interview, is that the makers chose to highlight this particular trivial adywan amendment in the first place....rather than any of the more obviously appreciated ones that addressed some of the more dubious/controversial SE 'creative choices' that GL made!

Such as making Han shoot Greedo first once again for instance, along with improving the shoddy colour and sound treatment of the 2004 dvd release, never mind fixing numerous continuity and optical mistakes that went untouched before, that many fans would have been delighted to see attended to.

Now THOSE, I would have preferred to have been acknowledged.

At least the site itself (which is a good one), embedded a decent example of adywan's amazing efforts, thankfully.

vote_for_palpatine, the fact that they used the words 'The people vs' is the problem.

The makers have stated that there were some very interesting persons that were keen in participating too, but that had to rule themselves out due to the implication that 'everyone' in the documentary was 'against' GL....

I'm sure that with a little effort, that they could have come up with a slightly less inflammatory-sounding title (albeit they themselves looked on it as 'tongue-in-cheek') that would have been as equally attention-grabbing, but unlike yours, without the snark.

Maybe any additional links concerning that new documentary can be added to this particular thread about it from hereon.  I'm sure there'll be plenty more comments to come about it on there too, and I've added my own early thoughts - http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/The-People-Vs-George-Lucas-documentary/topic/8902/

Yeah I'm not sure what to make of it.  If the goal was to take the silliest bits and make us look stupid, then I'm not sure I would have participated.

This would be my fear too.  You never know how interviews will be edited.

That sure was a cautionary example you gave there about your wife's experience doubleofive.

Having read a few reviews of this new 'SW fans' documentary now, it seems that's it's turned out to be a very mixed bag with quite a few low points.

Not that I expected much to begin with, considering the makers admitted that quite a few potentially interesting interviewees were put off from participating due to the 'confrontational'-sounding title they came up with.  Fair enough if they didn't want to change it, but I'd personally rathered they had, if it meant certain other people would have participated....

Pity.

However, I'll catch it sometime to see the adywan/fanediting spot, if nothing else, although judging by the maker's comments during the latest io9 interview, it seems as if they've ended up trivialising the overall amazing enhancements he's made....and just concentrated on the number of 'Wamp-rats' he removed....  I'll be very disappointed in them and this documentary, if that's the case.
