Plot

Fans of the original Star Wars trilogy harbor an unmatched passion, but their feelings toward George Lucas have shifted into a complex love-hate dynamic. This insightful and humorous documentary explores Lucas’s cultural impact and raises provocative questions about his relationship with his own creation. Did he betray the original films? Should he have left them untouched? Is The Phantom Menace truly that flawed? Featuring interviews from over 600 hours of footage and showcasing unique reenactments through song, puppetry, and more, the film ultimately probes who really possesses that iconic galaxy: the creator or the devoted fans.
