Do You Really Like Star Wars? Introducing The PVGL Fan Video Contest

Hey, do you like Star Wars?

Of course you do, that’s why you’re here. You either love it, or you did love it until the prequels, anyway. They pretty much blow. And, as luck would have it, they’ve been the target of much fan mockery. Maybe even you’ve parodied the prequels, yourself.

Well, if you have, we want to know!

Let’s see it!

That’s right, we want to hear from you! If you’ve made a fan video that makes fun of the prequels, we want to see it. If we like it, we’ll feature it right here on the blog, and share it with Star Wars fans around the world. This is YOUR chance to show us how you feel about George Lucas’ attempts to continuously profit from our childhood love of Star Wars.

But there are some rules, naturally.

  1. First: It has to be your video. Don’t just send us some clip you found online. We want to feature YOUR work, so we can give credit where it’s due.
  2. Second: You can either post your video to our Fan page on Facebook, send a Youtube or Vimeo link to us at pvglextra[at]gmail.com or reply to our twitter account
  3. Third: Make sure it’s about the prequels. This isn’t The People vs. A New Hope. A New Hope may be one of the greatest science fiction films ever made, and is not to be subject to mockery. Even we have our limits. Unless it’s really good. Then we may reconsider.
  4. Fourth: If you want us to feature your film, make sure it’s good. And by good, it needs to be entertaining. Don’t send us a 10 minute rant about how “George Lucas is a sellout”. We debate that in the film already. We want prequel parodies. Fan vids that make fun of the prequels and are humorous and entertaining.

And that’s about it. Once we have a few submissions, we’ll be putting them up regularly each month. Once we’ve featured several, we’ll let the fans vote for the best one.

So keep checking back; you never know whose video will be up here next!

Exciting News About People Vs George Lucas in the US

Hey everyone! There are some great things happening! I know we haven’t updated the blog in a while, but your patience is about to be rewarded: The movie’s distribution has been kicked into high gear, and there are a whole slew of new cities and towns where it will be showing.

And to make sure everyone out there has the latest news about the release of The People Vs. George Lucas, we’re going to start interacting with fans a lot more!

The Fans Keep the Dream Alive

Fans are important. What makes Star Wars thrive is its community. Our dedication and willingness to spend money en masse every time a new Star Wars product is released is what made a 70’s science fiction saga blossom into the juggernaut that we now know and love.

We know we have a responsibility to our fans, and by extension, Star Wars fans everywhere. So we are going to continue our mission of reaching out to the Star Wars community and making sure they’re heard. We started with The People Vs. George Lucas, and now we’re reaching out online.

The most notable change will be the blog. We’re going to start updating it at least twice a week with different Star Wars debates. We’re also going to be reviewing fan made and public videos based on Star Wars. And each week we’ll feature a video chosen by you, the fans. So if you have a Star Wars video you want us to feature, fill us in.

Let’s Get Social

We’re going to start being a lot more active on Twitter and Facebook, updating and, more importantly, responding, every day. We’ll be talking with fans and we encourage you to talk back. We’ll also be holding contests and giving away prizes in the cities where the film is showing.

All in all, there are a lot of new things happening, and we’re really excited about it all!

How about you? Excited about the new US screening dates?
