Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/5 --
There's a lot of anger floating around in "The People vs.," but Mr. Philippe somehow manages to make the overall tone good-hearted, and he ends on a sentimental note of exasperated love for the man frequently referred to as "the creator."

'The People vs. George Lucas" is an open- and-shut case, but that doesn't mean it can't also be an entertaining one.

Rating: 3.5 --
A surprisingly level headed exploration into the revolt of a fanatical fan base towards their messiah that is funny, insightful and just a tad silly.

The visionary behind 'Star Wars' could learn a thing or two from the smart, and richly comic, documentary The People vs. George Lucas

What Would Toto Watch?
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.

If you're a Force completist, this is as crucial as a bootleg of 1978's "Star Wars Holiday Special." Which, by the way, was awesome.

Product Description:
You'd be hard-pressed to find a filmmaker as loved and as hated as George Lucas. As the creator of the STAR WARS franchise, Lucas created three of the most popular and profitable films of all time and a generation of film buffs grew up on his sweeping tales of sci-fi adventure. However, when Lucas re-edited STARS WARS, THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK and RETURN OF THE JEDI and added new special effects for a 1997 re-release program, many fans were outraged, especially when Lucas announced that the original versions would be withdrawn from circulation. And his once-loyal followers weren't any happier when Lucas returned to directing after a twenty-two year layoff with the first STAR WARS prequel, STAR WARS: EPISODE ONE -- THE PHANTOM MENACE; the film severely disappointed many STAR WARS enthusiasts, and the two films that followed fared only slightly better with audiences despite their box office success. Filmmaker Alexandre O. Philippe takes a long look at the world of STAR WARS fandom and the quixotic relationship of George Lucas and his admirers/detractors (who are sometimes one in the same) in THE PEOPLE VS. GEORGE LUCAS, in which filmmakers, critics, musicians, comedians and fanboys share their vehemently held opinions about Lucas, his body of work and his attitude about the fantasy world he created. THE PEOPLE VS. GEORGE LUCAS was an official selection at the 2010 South by Southwest Film Festival.
