Template:Infobox episode The Eddsworld Legacy (also known as the Eddsworld Documentary) is a 40-minute long documentary covering the history of Eddsworld and the Eddsworld: Legacy season. It features interviews with many of the cast and crew, including archival footage of Edd Gould. It was released to the public on Tom's secondary channel, DarkSquidge.
The documentary was written and edited by Elliot Gough, and was produced in conjunction with the Eddsworld: Legacy season. Those who donated to the fundraiser would be able to watch it a week before it was officially released.

Production
On 29 January 2014, Tom stated on Twitter a picture of projects he is currently focused on [1]. The list states a documentary along with other episodes of 2014.
On 18 July 2014, Tom stated on his Tumblr that the Eddsworld documentary was near completion but the project was recently restarted. He also stated that they may start a side channel to upload the original version for fun until the official release.
Trivia
- According to Tom Ridgewell in the comments on the video: "This was originally a perk for the IndieGoGo donators promising to give a small behind-the-scenes look into how we ran Eddsworld: Legacy and kept the show going after Edd passed away. Over time it grew into this 40-minute-marathon and I decided it'd be cool to release it to the public too. But since it's all about us and what we've done I figured it would be better suited on my channel instead of Edd's."
- It's revealed that Tom's favorite line in Eddsworld is what he says to Eduardo when on his doorstep in Hammer & Fail (Part 2).
- The clip of Edd's Lost Lines (when he pulls the shark out of the tank) is animated by Billy Crinion, one of the animators and producers of The Eddsworld Fan Movie.
- Tom reveals that the voice changer gag in Space Face (Part 2) was thought of by him and Paul the day before Edd died.
- The original title for Fun Dead was Deadsworld, which was changed for "obvious reasons".
- Tom said he had approached fellow YouTuber Khyan Mansley to voice Edd after his death, but he turned down the offer, saying that he didn't want the responsibility.
- Tom got upset with Edd for animating his character having a boner in Tom's Tales of Brilliance and still remains annoyed by it to this day.
