This most excellent presentation explores the Star Wars prequels in a light that makes one understand the necessity of these films as well as the reality that many fans of the original Star Wars trilogy were expecting something that their imagination had hyped up way too much. This film is a necessary result of too much criticism that lashed out towards very successful yet critically bashed movies that are in fact very very entertaining stand alone projects that ultimately are just as beloved as the original trilogy only by different minded individuals. A great and well executed idea for a film about a popular film series. Weatherholt has hit a nostalgic note that should resonate a revolution of re-visiting certain films over the last 15 years and not just the prequels. Thank you for this film Bradley!

Not sure a set of good movies need a doc to defend them but this film is very good. Exploring multiple angles on the arguments (including unfair trivial pt jabs that can equally be directed at the ot) it covers lots of ground. As a fan of the 6 original Lucas star wars films I'm already aware of all the themes and meanings presented in the prequel trilogy but here they are presented with great clarity additionally exploring the fascinating ring theory and Lucas's artistic influences. Bottom line, Lucas is a genius, everyone should know that. Again no one should have to create a doc to defend a set of films that someone has put their heart and soul into but in this rapid internet age certain people could do with being re educated and take a look at this film. And Yoda said it best "you must unlearn what you have learned" Great job to the people involved in making this! Would love an extended version!
