Lucas Re-Releasing Star Wars Movies in 3D

I may have no interest in seeing it in theaters, but that doesn't mean I can't give my opinion on it. And just scanning through most of the other comments here, I am not alone in my Lucas/3D-bashing opinion.Jaded Scribe said:
Also, not everyone will have this so-called "magical" movie-going experience. There will always be something shitty that will ruin the moment. And don't argue that I'm saying it will ruin the overall experience. That's not what I'm saying. What I am saying is it will happen, you'll get mad or irritated and then you'll get over it because there's the rest of the movie to watch.
In my experience, it's always within the first 30-45 minutes of a film that something happens where no one can sit quietly. Granted, this doesn't happen every time I watch a movie in the theater, but I can count on both hands how many times it happened.
i must say i enjoyed the phantom menace and it will be cool to see the galactic senate scenes in 3d
but how will they do this effectively without it looking crappy
model every character in 3d. model every environment. redo all the blaster shots and lightsabers. not worth it, i say.
this my official opinion the matter:
george should do a new weird movie like THX 1138. with everything he has at his disposal and all the power he has, he could do anything.
something funny bizarre and strange.
thats my opinion
i think everyone will welcome it with open arms and wallets

Two problems with this.
1. I can't see the advantage 3D will bring to the films, with the exception of the opening shot of A New Hope. Seeing the Star Destroyer fly over your head in 3D should be fantastic.
2. They're coming out a year after the Blu-ray release. Which means, shortly after buying the whole saga for the fifth time to have the high-definition version, people are going to have to buy them again to watch the 3D versions at home. I know Lucas has always been a fan of the double-dip, but this is ridiculous. I assumed that, if he was going to convert them to 3D, he would only release the 3D version on Blu-ray, instead of releasing the 2D versions on it first. Turns out he doesn't have enough money yet.

I have no issue with you chiming in on the Lucas bashing. I think it's pointless, but to each his own.Jbird said:
the part I quoted gave the impression you were making a blanket statement of "If you have a decent home theater system, why would you go to a movie theater?" which I find more than a little ridiculous.
I'm surprised no one mentioned it was also announced that there will be a Copper Edition of the prequels released to commemorate the 1 1/2 year anniversary of the Jar-Jar Bink's nose redesign. It said this edition will include a Sarlacc tentacle figure and one of Jake Loyd's socks. Supposedly it will come in an aluminum plated package in the shape of Yoda's bawl-sack. Rumor has it there have been 6 million pre-orders.
Oh thank goodness. I was hoping George Lucas butcher the last shred of his franchises' dignity by redoing them in fucking 3D.
I'd prefer that they weren't released in 3D, but I will still see all of them. And I will love it. Maybe it's because I'm only 18, but I don't mind the CGI added into IV-V-VI and, while I much prefer the OT, I like the prequels. I don't get why people are so angry about it, though I can easily understand skepticism. The best thing to do, angry haters, is to not go, convince people not to go, and maybe, just maybe, Lucas wills stop.
Well, I'm actually excited about seeing the original trilogy in theaters for the first time, but why didn't we start with those?
Because some of us find it fun to go to movie theaters. Some of us have children that we want to take so they can have the experience of seeing it on the big screen. Instead of bitching and moaning about how other people spend their time and money, why don't you get off your high horse, say that you won't be going, and just leave it at that? Why do you feel the need to sneer at those eager to see it?Jbird said:
If it was any other movie and any other director, I'd agree with you. But it's George Lucas! One of our (once) great-GREAT movie minds! The guy had a could create whatever he wanted to, but instead he chooses to milk a dead cow. Once upon a time, Cameron probably looked up to George. No, this isn't Jame Camerons fault. Cameron is probably face palming as much as any of us.rockyoumonkeys said:
