HBO Original Documentary Series Stax: Soulsville U.S.A. Debuts May 20
Even if you don't subscribe to HBO (and I don't), this news release gives an overview of Stax's history that may be of interest.

It will be interesting to see if the doc mentions anything about Big Star, Alex Chilton's great power pop band, in the fourth installment. Stax was the distributor of Big Star's 1972 debut album, #1 Record, but because of the label's problems, the record never saw wide-scale release.

They feature 36 pages for artists on the website, with Big Star being one of them. So like you, I would hope that they would be included even though their time with the label was relatively brief, given that it was still quite significant.
