Well, if the trailer for new documentary The People Vs. George Lucas, he's a little devil and an evil marketing genius. But surely there's more to the man that that?

The documentary, to be released next year, aims to investigate the tortured, contradictory feelings Star Wars fans have for Lucas in light of the prequel trilogy and subsequent spin-offs from the movies, using the power of the internet:

Paying tribute to the YouTube culture in unprecedented fashion, this groundbreaking documentary feature will utilize professional hi-definition footage and amateur homemade videos in equal amounts to craft one of the most original, entertaining, cinematic, and widely anticipated portraits in the history of the medium-the world's first digitally democratic documentary. Chock-full of impassioned interviews, powerful musical performances, never-before-seen polaroids from the original STAR WARS continuity script, stop-motion and 3D animation, Super 8 action figure films, puppet rants and many other surprises, THE PEOPLE vs. GEORGE LUCAS is slated for release in the Spring of 2010 at a theater not too far, far away from you..

Of course, there's a MySpace page for you to find out more.

<![CDATA[Tell George Lucas Why Star Wars Sucks]]> Back in 1983 we're sure George Lucas got plenty of snail mail from angry fans telling him how much they hated the Ewoks in Return of the Jedi, and asking him why he killed off Boba Fett in such a lame fashion. Now, 25 years later, he'll be getting another slew of berating fans, this time in the form of a documentary. The People Vs. George Lucas wants you to film interviews with yourself, or others, and send them in. They'll be compiled alongside interviews with "celebrities" where they hope it will end up in theaters. So if you've been posting on message boards for years, seething at Lucas, the prequels, and the special editions, this is your chance to let him have it. [Obsessed With Film]
