Well, George Lucas has been talking about 3-D converting and re-releasing the entire Star Wars saga for quite a number of years. Now comes word that he's finally going ahead with it. Here we go AGAIN!Sources indicate that George Lucas is set to re-release the entire "Star Wars" franchise in new 3D conversions beginning in 2012. Though the 3D versions have been rumored for some time, Lucas was purportedly waiting until there were enough 3D screens available to make the release a sizable enough event.Fox, which released all six of the original "Star Wars" films, would also release the 3D versions.Part 1, "The Phantom Menace," would be first out of star-dock in the early months of 2012. After that, each of the films would be released in order at the same time each consecutive year, depending on how well the first re-release does.Each conversion takes at least a year to complete, with Lucas p! ersonally overseeing the process to make sure each one is as perfected as possible. Lucas has said that the "Avatar" experience convinced him that "Star Wars" was ready for the state-of-the-art 3D treatment.
So lemme get this straight? After announcing at Star Wars Celebration V last month that the entire saga would be coming to home video on Blu-Ray in 2011, (with an expensive price tag no doubt) the bearded one expects us to pay yet again to see the films in 3D the following year? “He's more machine now than man, twisted and evil."Apparently Lucas was “convinced†by “the Avatar experienceâ€. For some reason, Lucas thinks the Star Wars saga are “event†films like they were thirty years ago. Thirty years ago, the power to watch movies in a home theater wasn't available, there was no internet and a tri! p to the cinema was a helluva lot cheaper. Times have changed ! and even though there are plenty of blockbusters at the box-office today, there will never again be event films like the original Star Wars. Even though Avatar made over a billion dollars, it's success took place over a brief period and adjusted for inflation, it did not have the same numbers like Lucas did decades ago.
Once again George Lucas has proven how far he's fallen towards the Dark Side and is clearly out of touch with his fans. I'm sure those die-hard obsessed fans with absolutely no lives will give Lucas their life savings just to watch these new versions, but there has to be at least a handful of them who share my reluctance. Didn't he recently say that the movie business as we know it would be dead in a few short years? Is Lucas even aware of the current state of our economy and how expensive it has become just to se! e a movie, let alone a 3D movie? Does he actually believe audiences will shell out millions and stay committed for a yearly basis to see 3D conversions of old movies they can already watch at home? When he first brought this up around the release of Revenge of the Sith, I wondered if he would actually release one episode a year in 3D or over the course of several months. Looks like he's going with the former. I don't care if Lucas is personally supervising the conversion process, the Star Wars movies are done. Finished. Lucas is milking his franchise so hard, in every medium that he's starting to make me hate Star Wars, a series I grew up with, loved and worshipped. The films were never intended to be seen in 3D and by the time he releases the re-vamped 3D version of the sixth episode, Return of the Jedi in 2017, seven years from now, 3D will be a thing of the past. We'll all either be watching holographic movies or jacked into them virutally ala The Matrix. Get a grip Ge! orge you've lost it.Source: The Hollywood Reporter
