New Teaser Trailer for The People vs. George Lucas

The People vs. George Lucas is a new Star Wars fan documentary, which, it’s just been announced, will be premiering at the SXSW film festival.  It was directed by Alexandre O. Philippe.  This new teaser trailer makes the film look like an exceptionally interesting take on not only what Star Wars is to our culture, but what art is and who owns it after its made.  Here’s the official information from the film’s producers (via /film):

THE PEOPLE vs. GEORGE LUCAS explores the titanic struggle between a Godlike filmmaker and his legions of fans over the most popular franchise in movie history. “At its core, PvsG is the examination of a high-profile, dysfunctional love story”, says Philippe. “George created this humongous and intricate sandbox for us to play in; but is he the sole owner of it, or does it now belong to the ages? And what happens to your role as a creator when your audience claims it owns your art? We basically looked at the conflicted dynamic between George and his fans from a cultural perspective, and asked ourselves those questions.”
