  • Harsher in Hindsight: The documentary's ending of celebrating George Lucas' well-earned independence from the Hollywood studio system is sadly undermined now in light of Lucas selling off his company and the Star Wars franchise to Disney in 2012. This is made worse when you consider that one of Lucas' stated reasons for selling the studio was that he was essentially bullied by his own fans (or rather, an extremely toxic minority thereof) into doing so. However, he gave 1/4th of the $4,000,000,000 he earned from the sale to charity and is sinking more of it into his self-run Museum of Narrative Art, so it could come off as Heartwarming in Hindsight as well.
  • Memetic Mutation: The documentary helped popularize "faster and more intense!", which was George Lucas's only feedback after a shot.
