'Star Wars' saga set for 3D release starting 2012

[Darth Biscuit]

Big news on the 3D front.

Sources indicate that George Lucas is set on rereleasing the "Star Wars" franchise in new 3D conversions beginning in 2012. Although 3D versions have been rumored for some time, Lucas purportedly was waiting until there were enough screens available to make the release a sizable event.

Fox, which released all six original "Star Wars" films, also would release the 3D versions.

Episode I, "The Phantom Menace," would be first out of star-dock during early 2012. After that, each film would be released in order at the same time in consecutive years, depending on how well the first rerelease does.

Will never happen.

And if it did we would all go watch it twice then one year later hate it.

My guess is that even in 3D, hayden christensen's acting will still be flat as ever.

Bazinga.

How many versions will this be?

[Delhommey]

We should get free admission to make up for Attack of the Clones.

Not if Lucas let someone else make it.

I know that Lucas has publicly said he doesn't plan on doing a 7/8/9, but that's a lie. Successful franchises don't like to die and SW is one of the most successful of all time. People are more likely to go spend money on what's familiar to them and I guarantee you that there will be a 7/8/9 within 40 years. Lucas might not helm it, but it will happen.

[Jangler]

40 years....

[Razzy]

40 years....

Well it took about 20 to get 1/2/3 out, and Lucas supposedly already had those planned when he made 4/5/6. 40 years is a conservative estimate.

What ever happened to the supposed Star Wars tv series?

Apparently they are having issues trying to figure out how to shoot a Star Wars TV show without a Star Wars movie budget.
