[QUOTE="SAVORY100, post: 439378, member: 5830"] When I first watched it I thought how good it was, really showing how a film giant can control the world they deliver to their audience and how Prowse was beaten down and effectively silenced for something he never did... However, having taken the time to watch it a second time its very clear that its really just a pro-Prowse propaganda vlog. It's a shame really, they had an opportunity to tell both sides of the story but failed. Claiming (or stating) that Lucas declined comment etc. is not an excuse at all, real documentary journalists would have either not completed/released the film as it only has one single angle with very little substance behind it or would have kept pushing to find the truth... or at the very least a few alternate versions of the truth. I guess the Disney release schedule and the halo of cash it attracts was too big a draw for the filmmaker to resist so they preferred to release a part-baked effort that would cash in than actually delivering the job as advertsised... Its a very one sided vehicle, an OK watch, but I think a little caution should be applied to what you see and hear. [/QUOTE]
