A gimmick pretending to be a real film

As far as I am concerned, this sort of thing makes a fool out of the fanbase. It's embarrassing.

Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?

By the sounds of this, it's basically what it says on Star Wars fanboy message boards put up onscreen, I dont particularly like George Lucas these days for screwing up Star Wars with the (first two) prequels but this is just being extremley petty and pathetic, let's not forget that he's the reason for Star Wars existing in the first place.

Clarence, I like you. I always have. Always will.

Sounds like the people that are complaining are the ones who don't mind what Lucas has done.

I don't have any particularly negative feelings towards Lucas, but I think the idea for this documentary is interesting. What it boils down to is whether the documentary purely throws an argument up on the screen just to revel in it or whether it makes some kind of statement about the consequences of fandom these days or something along those lines.

If you saw the movie, as opposed to the trailer, you'd see it's more balanced than you think. I saw it at Hot Docs last night and found it to be pretty balanced.

I completely disagree with you. All three prequels were horrible. The storyline did not flow or make sense in any of the three films. They all seemed mish-mashed together revealing major plot holes.

It's pretty funny you criticize the film makers of TPvsGL for trying to earn a quick buck, cause these prequels were nothing more than a cash grab for Lucas. He is shown in bonus footage whining that TPM would never beat Titanic in revenue. Look at each prequel film and ask yourself how they contributed to the Saga. They did not add anything, they took away.

I also do not agree with you about the "brilliant writing" of the Jedi scenes. They come off clumsy and had the rehearsed feel to them leaving no tension.

Someone mentioned below the reviews of TPM & AOTC by Red Letter Media, which are spot on. Watch them and tell me exactly how RLM is incorrect.

Thanks.
