  • Summary: They gave him their love, their money and their obsessive online parodies. He gave them ... the prequels. An innovative feature doc that explores the love/hate relationship that fans have with filmmaker George Lucas, as well as the bigger question of whether or not filmmakers can own and control their own work in the digital age.

    An open- and-shut case, but that doesn't mean it can't also be an entertaining one.
