Star Wars Getting 3D Re-release Starting 2012

[jgab]

Yes... now is the chance... Kill Jar Jar... or at least give him muscles... electric goo orbs wtf...

Get rid of that crappy little Anakin... acting lessons for the big Anakin...

Ewoks magically become Wookies...and so so much more...

Save us Obi-George you are our only hope...

3D.. who cares... but touch up a classic... again... do it!

I think there should be a law, whenever a film maker or a studio updates and re-releases a film, they are required to include the original movie without all the additions for free.

Star Wars was amazing, because the story and visual effects were wonderful for that time period. It's not meant to be updated in 3D CGI, because it loses something in the translation.

Well... Actually, if they really do take the time and effort to do this carefully and correctly, by 2012 3D theaters should have improved and as long as it is less like Clash of the Titans and more like Avatar quality I wouldn't mind seeing them. PodRacing, Speeder Chase, Spacebattles, Geonosis, I think would look cool in 3D. ( and do you actually want George Lucas working on new stuff after how bad the prequels were?) and people who never saw the prequels shouldn't even be talking crap on here, they have absolutely no authority on the matter LOL.

Can't help wondering: why waste money on re-doing a classic? George, why don't you invest in episodes 7, 8 & 9? You could do those with all the CGI, 3D, and photo realistic rendering effects you could ever want...

In other news, George Lucas plans to buy Facebook, Apple, Google, and Microsoft with the expected 100 trillion dollars he'll rake in over the next 6 years.

the smell-o-vision didnt work to well. I wouldnt look forward to certain parts of the movie.

3D is such crap. Such a waste of time. BD is cool though, until 2K or 4K resolution media becomes available.

I don't care about the 3D. I just want them to re-do the voice acting on some of the characters to get rid of the terrible accents and terrible lines.

Make Jar-Jar sound non-Jamaican (nothing against Jamaicans, just seems so wildly out of place) and get rid of his stupid lingo. "Meessah?" Awful and borderline rascist.

Dub over those 2 Neimoidians too. (The ones that sound asian in the US film, French or Russian in other countries)

The original films had no accents. Just a mix of american actors and alien sounds. Whats wrong with that formula?

Hell, if they just dubbed over them with sounds and grunts with sub-titles I'd be thrilled!

God, they plan on milking Star Wars until I turn old and die, don't they?

The funny thing is that all you people bashing it will still make the purchase when it comes out.

 

[captaincharisma]

says who?
never bought any starwars merchandise, never will. 3d wont make me enjoy it anymore less or more than before.

Just because you may be of the mentality "it sucks, but im getting it anyway" do not apply that logic to others.

nah after the last remake they put in theaters and the other 3 star wars movies i am done with the franchise

 

[Azimuth01]

I'm done with star wars. I got the plot the first time I saw it. Everything else is just a cash grab. 3D just makes me want to see it less. I wish this fad would hurry up and die....AGAIN..

 

[teknomedic]

OMG!!!! the super awesome re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-release of Star Wars!!!!.... Oh man, I'm gonna buy.

/joy

 

[therabiddeer]

Well, at least Lucas doesn't have to worry about osteoporosis with all that milk.

 

[Gin Fushicho]

Seriously? Why not make a new Star-wars series? Like you know, after Luke died in the comics. Mark Hammel isn't exactly around to play him any way.

 

[magicandy]

Seriously? None of the original series until 2015? You honestly think you can milk this in the same way you did the special editions, George, after it's already been beaten to death over the past decade and half?

If you absolutely must do a yearly thing, make it a two-year run. 2012 for I, II, and III. 2013 for IV, V, and VI. Better yet, don't even bother with the first three movies.

The more I see what he does with this series, the more that documentary makes sense - the one that quotes him in saying he intentionally created Star Wars to massively market it and make money off toys and such rather than it being all about passion for making movies. "I like to be thought of a toymaker who makes films" - Lucas in 1971.

Makes me sort of look back at my Star Wars-loving childhood in disgust.

George Lucas is a hack. Always has been, always will be.

 

[kastraelie]

Wait, they are STARTING with the Phantom Menace? Seriously?
