you, George Lucas.

Star Wars saga returns to theatres in 3D

The studio announced plans to re-release the six live-action Star Wars films in 3D beginning in 2012.



"There are few movies that lend themselves more perfectly to 3D; from the Death Star trench run to the Tatooine Podrace, the Star Wars Saga has always delivered an entertainment experience that is completely immersive," the studio said in a statement issued Tuesday evening.

"The cutting edge conversion will take that immersion to the next thrilling level."

The 3D re-releases will begin with Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace and proceed chronologically through to the final film, Star Wars: Episode VI — The Return of the Jedi.

Industrial Light & Magic, which Star Wars creator George Lucas established to produce the special effects for his original 1977 film, Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope, will oversee the 3D conversion.

The announcement sparked divided reaction from fans online, with some expressing excitement at the prospect of the space adventure saga being translated into eye-popping 3D. Others, however, were more skeptical.

"Watching TPM [The Phantom Menace] in 3D would be like the car actually crashing into your face as opposed to just unfolding before your eyes," quipped British actor and comedian Simon Pegg via Twitter.

Correction: 50s.



I can't wait for South Park to do an episode about everything being 3D. It'll be great.

I don't see what the problem is. The movies are mostly already shite to average, with their CGI being the only redeeming factor in many cases, meaning a 3D version wouldn't be that bad just for the effects.

Of course since I have strabismus I can't see most 3D effects, so I won't be going.

Wish they'd stop Milking this franchise for all they can

LEAVE IT ALONE ALREADY!!!

George Lucas hates his fans more than any of you will ever love another person.

I don't mind, I'm going to watch it, I suggest you don't.... Just because they make more doesn't mean you have to go see it.

I would love to see epidsode III, IV and VI in 3D simply for them big space battles.

I'll most definitely not be seeing this. Kids will love it though...

you, George Lucas.

^This.

I hate 3D, and I hate Lucas milking the Star Wars franchise, so I will not go see it. Especially since the Star Wars films weren't filmed in stereo so the 3D conversion will be really crappy too.

Do you hear that? That's the sound of George Lucas getting richer.

I've always wanted to see the originals on the big screen though so I may go watch them...

you, Lucas. Heres an idea, make money by creating a new movie and not milking your old franchises for what little is left. They're drying up now and sooner or later you're going to have to show some more god damn creativity. Or you can just die. Either is fine with me.

4000th post!

Who cares. Don't go see it if you don't want to. I'm certainly going to go see at least one of them in 3d, and if the conversion is good I might go see the other two (the real ones).

Ah

i want episode 7 dammit

I will see Episode IV and Episode V. Episode VI maybe.

The prequels can go die in a fire.
