I mean, everything worked out great for The Last Jedi and it is a triumph. Likely the best made Star Wars film in fact.
I did not compare TPM doc to Hearts of Darkness, I used the latter example of a more "raw" documentary while noting that the TPM doc reflected more truth and nitty gritty of filmmaking to it. TLJ documentary doesn't really show script disputes with Mark only interviews after the fact, it doesn't show Boyega possibly protesting Finn's role, it doesn't show any real meeting with Kathleen or discussions with the Story Group. There's a crucial point where George Lucas calls Rian, a call he's been waiting on, and yet we never get to hear what George had to say.
TPM documentary is a far more "honest" documentary as it's a far more "boring" documentary as we watch the minutiae of film-making, it's not really creating a narrative as much as showing the BTS of making TPM. TLJ documentary is specifically edited towards a certain narrative and thus isn't interested in minutiae or conflict in filmmaking that doesn't fit this narrative.
Just because something turned out great doesn't mean there wasn't conflict or disagreement on set or adversity or challenges that had to be overcome to achieve it. Apocalypse Now is one of the greatest films of all time, but its making nearly drove Coppola mad.
All documentaries are edited around a certain narrative, and I don't see how The Director and the Jedi delves any less into the minutiae or conflict in filmmaking than the TPM doc does. If anything, it delves into it even more simply by virtue of being 30 or 40 minutes longer.
In any event, the art book will be in out in two months. So if it turns out that the artwork in the South Korean version potentially linking TROS to Trevorrow's Duel of the Fates (something Trevorrow himself has denied even being in the book anyway) ends up getting removed in the released version, in order to suppress any hint of there being (quoting Keywork's original post that I responded to) "different versions that existed before [they] settled on the final product", then hey I owe you a Coke. But I would be surprised by that since the artwork is already out there anyway, and as I mentioned, TFA's artbook already included concept art for different versions of the film that preceded the final product.
Because the narrative being spun right now from leaks from South Korea is fueling the belief that it and the leaked early draft would've give us a far more satisfying story. Whether that hypothetical is true or not, it's not the narrative Disney wants out there right now with the movie still in theaters.
Will be interesting to see what they change since copies are already out there.
Some weird shit.
Some weird shit.
Probably. It's the only thing I can think of.
I'm sure they will lie to us in the future about why they did it.
Trevorrow stated that the art book (at least what was posted in an article online) didn't contain anything from his cut, right? That makes this weirder. Maybe they'll get rid of some stuff like the (seemingly) actual screenshot of the filmed scene where Kylo approaches the Oracle.
The Last Jedi art book also has art from the Lucas treatment. Specifically art of an ancient Jedi planet/temple that would essentially evolve into Ahch-To in the produced films.
So much confusion due to this bad OP. And just bad discourse around Star Wars online. The copies being destroyed are early drafts of the book that were accidentally printed
The Art of TROS was delayed last month, from the day of the movie's release to March 2020. It was announced before the movie's release and way before the leaks of the supposed Trevorrow script, which both him and other sources have confirmnever got to the point of having any concept art that made it to the book.
The delay is most likely being done so as to add art and info about the final act of the film, which most Art of books avoid because they are delivered or released the same day as the movie.

No he didn't. See this post: https://www.resetera.com/threads/th...epublished-with-changes.166014/#post-28446757
Disney has nothing to do with this. Lucasfilm is run as an independent company. Also, it's hilarious that of all the things that's happened an art book is the straw that broke your back.
Yea. Doesn't seem like the OP was made in good faith given the lack of context and title.

Pay the OP no mind. The book was delayed *BEFORE* the movie came out. South Korea just missed the hold and they leaked.
This is fandom menace made up bullshit.

Don't just threadmark. Edit your OP, the OP is blatantly misleading.
