This look at Star Wars fanatics and their love-hate relationship with George Lucas turns out to be more interesting than most fanboy docs because director Alexandre O. Philippe touches on some fairly knotty matters of film history and creative ownership.

It may seem like it’s taking a side, but if you look a little deeper under the surface I think you’ll find a much broader critique that makes for a very appealing film, especially for Star Wars fans.

Rated: 3.5/5

For disillusioned fans like myself, it's a unnecessary reminder of the things you hate about a thing you used to love.

An outstanding look at the enormously dysfunctional relationship between a creator and his adoring fans.

Rated: 9/10

It's a documentary made by angry Star Wars fans who wish the Prequel Trilogy was exactly like the Original Trilogy, and bashing the Special Edition of the OT. Moreover, these angry fanboys think they understand Star Wars better than George Lucas himself.

As a lover of Star Wars, I feel qualified to say that this was a pointless documentary. Largely repetitive and bitter interviews with fans who think Lucas should have done this or that differently. Lots of complaining about the prequels. Nothing new. A snooze-fest.

While it does a good job staying objective but in doing so it feels overly sterile, not offering enough interesting points for either side. Grade: C-
