Does a director have any obligation to his fans?
3 December 2022
"The People vs. George Lucas" focuses on overzealous fans of the Star Wars franchise and poses the question of whether or not the creator of a franchise should have the right to change his productions. In George Lucas's case, he altered scenes in the original "Star Wars" and then angered fans with "The Phantom Menace".

We've occasionally heard of toxic fandom. What we see here isn't exactly that, but borders on it. Personally, I don't have much opinion on what Lucas did with his movies - I've only seen each movie once all the way through - but the documentary does force us to ask where fandom ends and fanaticism (or cultism) begins. Worth seeing.

As for Jar Jar Binks, I thought that he sounded more Cajun than Jamaican.
