"Star Wars" movies start 3D rollout in 2012

once again GL has ruined my memories

Word.

3d is a gimik for me. im perfectly happy watchiing 2d. but the times they are a changing. i would however go see them definatly just to see them on the big screen

3D gives me a headache. Why would I want to pay more money to get a headache.

I don't think we want Lucas making new movies

Yea, the last thing we need is GL making more SWs movies.
He should pass the torch to someone else like he did for Empire Strikes Back. He only jumped back on Empire because it went over Bidget towards the end, but look at the differance between all of GLs movies, and the Director of Empire. BIG AWESOME difference.

I'm still going. It will still be awesome. I have a 61" I normally watch it on which is great. To watch it once in a while on a giant movie screen even better. It's not like it gets released every year. I would love to see the trench run in 3D. I hope there are not too many changes if not at all personally. But, like someone else posted earlier. When it's over then we can pick it apart and start awarding the razzies. Or maybe most of us will just be happy. My biggest complaint is that they will only be released yearly (correct me if I am wrong but that is what I thought i understood). I don't remember the THX version taking that long to come out back to back. 6 years will take a long time. I will be in my early 40's when they finish.

Maybe they'll fix the cantina shoot out back to the RIGHT VERSION! It's important to the character development of Han Solo! How can he be scoundrel if he doesn't shoot someone in cold blood!?!

To all of you who think that money is the reason GL is doing this, I have to disagree because of a few points.

1. Seriously??? After decades of filling our homes with Star Wars toys/movies/video games/tshirts/bed sheets/umbrellas, etc, do you really think George sits around saying,"Wow, my coffers are running dry. I really need to beat this Star Wars horse some more so I can...what, buy a Hawaiian Island?" With the sheer amount of licensed products that have been on the shelves for decades, all of which GL gets a cut of, I don't think money will ever be an issue for him. Not to mention all of the stuff that hasn't been associated with SW that he's done, just with ILM alone.

2. Speaking of ILM, I think this goes to the core of why he's making these movies available in 3D. Look at the history of George Lucas. He has always been pushing the envelope of movie-making, to the point of doing things that others have thought impossible. Right now, the movie/television industry is moving towards 3D, whether we like it or not. Honestly, I think he's feeling kinda left out, like the industry is passing him by. This is a new feeling for him, and I think he wants to throw his hat into the ring. And besides, it will be something new. Now he gets to use the technology that others have created and he can adapt it to his movies for a change.

3. Whenever George has been interviewed, his answers are always about making these movies for kids. I mean, Jar Jar was wildly unpopular with the people who were his original target audience back in 1977, but he was the most popular among their kids. Nowadays it's a cliche, but kids do really understand technology pretty well, and are willing to adapt to it much more so than their parents in many cases. I think this is another step towards making these movies more accessible to kids, by re-making them in the most recent of technologies. Especially since he's about to become a grandfather, he's gonna want his grandkids to see it in the best/newest possible format.

Like them or not, I think it will be cool to see a Podrace in 3D, as well as lightsaber and space battles. I'm looking forward to it. At least for now. :)

umm by disrespecting a crime lord by stepping on his tail?
