Underground filmmaker Damon Packard took the behind-the-scenes footage from the making of the Star Wars prequels - and a lot of other stuff, too - and turned it into a hilarious (and very copyright-infringing) film called UNTITLED STAR WARS MOCKUMENTARY (2003). In the process, he reclaimed one of the biggest entertainment franchises for the audience. PLUS: Our old friend Joe Lieberman is at it again.

JJ Abrams is so much worse than Lucas. He’s already had a foot in the door thanks to his dad being a longtime TV producer, and his kids are already getting jobs writing comics, presumably so that they can someday helm franchise movies or third rate HBO dramas. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/06/20/jj-abrams-pens-spider-man-comic-with-son-will-introduce-new-villain.html Its also telling to look at Rise of Skywalker with that in mind, because the movie's message is that the only path to power is being part of the right lineage. EDIT: This was a good compromise for not doing the prequels.

On the subject of Star Wars, I still think that Luke and Will can wring a lit more blood from this stone, flog that dead horse a little more. The points Luke made about the confused politics of ‘Attack of the Clones’ were to my mind insufficiently mined. Given how finely balanced the responses were I am really kicking myself for not commenting in favour of a Star Wars prequel episode. Never doubt that your vote counts kids! No shade however on the episode itself. I always enjoy it when Will and Luke talk trash about trash, however tangentially, and they deserve to watch films they enjoy from time to time. However, in following with 'Untitled Star Wars Mockumentary' so soon after 'Bring Me the Head of Tim Horton, I was reminded of a third entry to this very particular genre of documentary filmmaking: 'Cuadecuc-Vampir' (1970), directed by Pere Portabella. Friend of the podcast Jonathan Rosenbaum wrote an effusive review in praise of 'Cuadecuc-Vampir', but his final words I believe could be equally applicable to all three films: 'A black-and-white silent about the shooting of a Dracula film… that becomes much more than a documentary. It glides effortlessly between telling parts of the Dracula story... to providing a personal and ironic commentary on [the] production... ‘It all adds up to a kind of poetic alchemy in which Portabella converts one of the world’s worst horror films into one of the most beautiful movies ever made about anything.’

Note: The film described by Rosenbaum as 'the world's worst horror' was 'Count Dracula' directed by Jess Franco, which I know Will has seen. So maybe he's seen Cuadecuc as well ?
