Matt Singer Time Out Chicago A devastating indictment of our modern geek culture of entitlement. Rated: 3/5 Sep 14, 2011 Full Review Lisa Kennedy Denver Post Eentertaining if mildly worrisome. Rated: 3/4 Jun 17, 2011 Full Review J. R. Jones Chicago Reader 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. May 27, 2011 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies 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 Aug 24, 2022 Full Review John Gholson Cinematical For disillusioned fans like myself, it's a unnecessary reminder of the things you hate about a thing you used to love. Feb 10, 2012 Full Review R.L. Shaffer IGN DVD An outstanding look at the enormously dysfunctional relationship between a creator and his adoring fans. Rated: 9/10 Jan 29, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

Rami A 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. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/07/24 Full Review joey v A very well made Documentary which explains why George Lucas has become one of the most Hated Directors In Hollywood and how he nearly Ruined the Star Wars franchise with his universally despised prequel trilogy this is something Hardcore Star Wars fans should get a kick out of looking back it might even give them a new appreciation for the Prequels ever since Disney took over Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member manbabys who had their fan theories destroyed. its truly an embarrassment how these people are so offended i hope they enjoy the mess disney put out you want your ot you got it a complete soft reboot of the same story taking place. congrats you ruined star wars Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member This is the most insulting thing against George Lucas. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review s r Not bad to see the raving and unique compilation of fan films. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
