The Prequels Strike Back: A Fan's Journey

An official trailer was released earlier this month for a documentary titled The Prequels Strike Back: A Fan’s Journey.

The documentary revisits Star Wars creator George Lucas’s critically bombarded prequel trilogy, and follows a fan boldly seeking to answer one big question: are the prequels REALLY as bad as many fans think they are? To answer this—or attempt to—he talks to fans of the franchise and others to collect their present day perspectives on the prequels.

Continue below to read more about The Prequels Strike Back and check out the trailer.

Nearly two decades after the release of Star Wars: Episode I, Star Wars fans still heatedly debate the merits and the shortcomings of the controversial prequel films that brought to the world Jar Jar Binks, Darth Maul, midichlorians, and a purple lightsaber.

Unsure what to make of the films, a Star Wars fan treks across country interviewing dozens in search of answers. Are the prequel films masterpiece or disaster? Is George Lucas an inconsistent hack or a champion of a singular vision? And most important of all, is there a way to bring balance to the dark and light sides of fandom? As our hero discovers, much to learn, he still has.

The Prequels Strike Back was made possible through the generous contributions of time and money from fans all across the world. What resulted was a documentary that Star Wars fans deserved.

The Prequels Strike Back: A Fan’s Journey will be released digitally on September 14th, and will be available on Amazon, YouTube, and VHX. There will also eventually be a disc version, which can be pre-ordered right here. If you happen to be in the Austin, TX area, there will be a screening of the movie in early October.

Filled with commentary from passionate fans and scholars of cinema, “The Prequels Strike Back” follows the travels of a bewildered fan as he attempts to unlock the method behind cinema’s most controversial trilogy and George Lucas, the even more controversial man behind them. He must unlearn what he has learned and look at the polarizing saga like never before.
