We chat with IconsUnearthedStarWars creator Brian Volk-Weiss about working on the new docuseries from VICETV & nacellecompany, getting Martha Lucas to open up about her Star Wars experience, and unearthing TheSimpsons next:

Icons Unearthed: Star Wars, the new six-part documentary series presented by Vice TV and the Nacelle Company, tells the story of Star Wars in a brand-new way. The series covers Star Wars episodes I-VI, shedding light in equal part on the struggles and successes of the films.

The guy at Netflix, whose name is Devin... I had done almost all of my standup comedy deals with him for years, and then one day he calls me and says, "Hey man, Netflix just put me in charge of unscripted, do you have anything?" So, of course, the first and only thing I brought to him was this show about toys I had been trying to sell for 70% of a decade. He gave some great notes, we shot a tape, and we redid the entire show. His notes...

Number two, most people that make documentaries about these things fall into two categories. One, they're working for the rights holder. So our Star Trek show, or our Star Wars show - we didn't make that with Viacom. We didn't make that for Disney. We made it for ourselves, so we were able to put in whatever we wanted, and there was no like, "Oh, no, no, no. You can't talk about Lucille Ball. It has to be about only Gene Roddenberry." So that's part of it.

After the interview, and to the best of my knowledge, I had never, ever done this before, but I asked her, "Why? Why did you say yes?" And I could have guessed her answer because I'd figured it out, but it's all about timing with someone like her. Six months earlier, she may have said no, six months later she may have said no. And, she did not say this, but it was a six-hour interview... Listening to her, I think it was two things.
