star wars in 3D

As just about everyone saw coming, Lucasfilm is going to convert all six "Star Wars" films into 3D format. (George Lucas himself told "Access Hollywood" that after years of tinkering with the idea of 3D conversion and not being a fan of the format thus far, the success of "Avatar" was "a new impetus to make that happen.")

The films, starting with "The Phantom Menace," are expected to come out every year starting in 2012 and ending in 2017, which will be the 40th anniversary of the original "Star Wars" release. Though Lucasfilm says it hasn't set exact dates for each release), we suppose it's important that they're shown in chronological order, because the movies are such cliffhangers now, decades later.

But will they be worth the two-to-seven-year wait?


cue creepy moan!

*sees Star Wars* INSTANT CLICK!

Yeah, word of this came out a while ago.

After they come out, every real Star Wars fan (AKA, me!) will have 3 copies of the original trilogy on DVD. Awesome sauce

2013 is the 30th anniversary of Episode VI, by the way

I'll deal with that when the DVDs come out

But my brother says that there are already 3D glasses that are actually not uncomfortable to wear, even for people who already wear glasses. So, who knows?

Yeah I've got glasses too so I avoid going to 3D movies, because frankly, movie theater 3D glasses suck at the moment

What I want the most technology-wise from Star Wars are the lightsabers, holocrons, comlinks and bacta tanks Let's get George Lucas and Steve Jobs on that right away... XD

But still, uber excited for Star Wars 3D Of course a video game will probably come before the movies

Stupid. Seriously your a one trick...seven tricky pony even stop **** whoring it out.

Maybe it's just me. I've yet to see a 3D film because I've yet to see how **** popping out at me is adding anything to the film. It's more distracting if anything.

Am i right or am i right? That is the question.

The live action TV show is more exciting than this dribble.

Meh. I think 3D is more of a passive experience if anything. When I watched Avatar, it's not like the screen is actually popping out of you, but the details come out better and feel a little closer. But really, you're only going to notice if you are paying attention. If you just watch the movie and don't think about the 3D, it's hardly noticeable. So, I'll agree that it really is hype over nothing until they actually make 3D awesomely real to the point things actually pop off the screen. When people start having heart attacks, that's when I'll start believing that 3D is actually pretty good.

Anyways, back on topic, re-releasing the movies is probably a good move financially. I think there is a big enough following/interest that they'll make a decent amount of money out of it. Lucas should have been like Cameron and made the movies now rather than way back in the day. Could you imagine how much better the CGI would have been. I'd be more up for them remaking the movies entirely than just making them 3D. Wonder how they'll turn out?

Lucas DID remake the original trilogy when he started doing the sequel trilogy. That's the 2nd version of the prequel trilogy I was talking about in my first post.
