Star Wars 3D is Coming

Rodney 26 Comments

There are two hot buttons that will get polarized results from any avid movie fan. Any talk of 3D, and George Lucas re-releasing Star Wars. So of course, Lucas is re-releasing them in 3D. Just to piss you off.

With the current trend of 3D showing no signs of going away, Lucas is jumping on the bandwagon to bring you his Star Wars films in 3D.

IGN Reports:

Lucasfilm and 20th Century Fox are planning a relaunch of the six Star Wars films beginning in early 2012. One film would be released in that same timeframe per year, starting with The Phantom Menace.

It is a solid business plan. They intend to release the movies in theaters for 3D audiences, and then take the profits from each of those films to convert the next one.

So from 2012 through approximately 2018 we will get 3D versions of the two Trilogies.

George Lucas re-releasing his films has pretty much become a tradition now. It’s no longer a question of “if” he will bring them back out again, but a question of when. As a Star Wars fan (yes, I still love them despite the flaws) I am really eager to see each of these in 3D. I do think that the Prequel Trilogy will lend itself better to 3D, but they will all look incredible. Maybe Han will shoot first in 3d.

Now I know there will be groans and complaints about 3D in general, and continued crying about Lucas re-re-re-re-releasing his films. But I guarantee these movies will do well at the Boxoffice, and sell tons on retail shelves.

If these things are so hated, then why do they perform so well? Who is buying these if no one wants them?

    Thanks for posting! I will see them all no problem - the only tough thing I see about all this is the LONE WAIT for Episode VI and the famous run of the Millennium Falcon through the Death Star! That will be worth the wait!

    “I don’t blame him for wanting to be that involved with his own franchises, but he had to recognize his limitations.”

    This got me thinking, maybe its very far-fetched (is that how you pronounce it?) but what would be better if the prequels where re-done? with another writer and director, GL would still produce it.

    its just wishful thinking i know

    I will not be going back to watch them in the theatre in 3D, nor will i buy them on DVD. I’ll keep my money, thank you very much.

    Clash of the Titans was not only a bad 3D conversion, it was a Bad movie! I’d rather watch the original with all its faults over that waste of 2 hours I saw.

    They chopped that thing up so bad it made “Wolfman”(2009) look like a good movie!

    As for this, You guys know your gonna see it anyways like all of us.

    so stop it already.

    Lucas has limitations like everybody else, BUT the dude created StarWars and that shit will live on forever, Just like Stan Lee’s Spiderman!……..Thank God for that!

    Will he resist tinkering with the effects again though. I doubt he will convert the 2004 versions without altering the effect to be more 3D friendly, like yet another update of CGI jabba that will date badly in two years. I can already see a new meme called ‘Greedo shoots the audience first’.

    unlike everyone else in this world…i am holding off judgement on this until i see something…if it is a good quality conversion then im fine with it but if it ends up being Clash of the Titans all over again than i will watch the first one and be done with it.
