Star Wars being reworked for re-release in three dimensions

Of course it is. I'm surprised it took so long. 3D is obviously how Lucas originally wanted to make Star Wars - he just didn't have the budget at the time.
 
I wish they wouldn't butcher Star Wars every time a new fad comes along. We love it for what it is, not for what it could be. It is enough of a tragedy that no original master exists due to such greed by Lucas.
 
FFS.. make new movies, dont rework the old ones over and over and over and over and over again.
 
I love Star Wars so much.

Episode 4-5-6, and Episode 1 are BRILLIANT.

Episode 2 and 3 are crap though.

that's wrong assumption because when GL made sw originally there was no thought of 3D and how it wanted to be, no he just simply struggled with the technology present at that time. this is why we got the cleaned and then later on the special additions. he literally made some of the technology to make shoot the damned flicks. sw ep 1 was also first flicks to be shot 100% digitally.

i wish we could have more normal 2D movies again over this obsession with 3D. some are horrible adoptions, especially if it's shot post 3D and not 3D from that start. SW imho was quite perfect as it was in it's original form as it's a cult classic of that time and don't need the DNF treatment each time a new technology or fad comes along.

the new prequels are all nice and shiny but that doesn't mean we also need the originals to be shiny too to enjoy them. seriously can't he just be content in the way they was as ...classics ?

Oh great. This time Greedo and Han will shoot at the exact same time and the kiss will never happen because if Leia knew from the beginning in her heart they were related then she's really messed up.
 
probably won't bother with this... even though I am a huge star wars fan.

Movies that were not originally filmed in 3D look crap when converted to 3D.
 
This will only work if anything not human is redone in CG....
 
Its become obvious that filmmakers are running out of ideas and will now only do a remake,sequel or 3d conversion.The George Lucas produced Red Tails is already running into problems

Exactly.

And the remakes is not even the same as the original movie.

Example - War of the Worlds... the 1953 version is MUCH better than the 2005 version.

The time will come when new movies will be exactly the same as old movies, except that they changed the characters names, and is portrayed by different actors.
 
I actually look forward to the potential of the 3D releases. The asteroid field shot from Empire would be brilliant in 3D!

What I am worried about is further script / plot changes. We all know that Han shot first .

ja.. they already took out, "Luke, I am your father!" :mad:
 
Let's face it... we'll all go watch it at the movies when they come out in 3-D!

I'm griping over the SE versions... as well as the silly super-sub with Papa Skywalker at the end of Jedi... but I'll still go watch em... I have to... it's like... UUURRRGGGHHHH!



I think Episode 1 and 2 will benefit most from 3D... thinking Pod Race, Jango Fet asteroid hunt, Darth Fancy Face fight scene, Epic battle scenes with the mechs... I'm just not looking forward to "Meesa Ears floppin around in 3D".
I think I'll get heartburn as soon as I hear the first "Meesa"

I guess I'll also have to buy the Blu-Ray set when it comes out in 2011... I didn't like the sound in Ep 3 and 4 although I got the 4,5,6 boxset, I didn't buy the first 3 eps because I got 1 and 2 as gifts and I couldn't bring myself to part with R120 for 3.

When we gonna see a re-worked Indie? Looking forward to that on Blu-Ray. 3D Nazi's FTW!
The transfers to Blu-Ray will be awesome coz they GL and SS used proper film (except for SW 4)... and IL&M are top drawer with re-mastering.
