    Really, I love Star Wars, but what is the point of this, besides making money I mean?

    Hopefully the prequels don't get this treatment...i.e: Attack of the Clones.

    Everything else in 3D doesn't mean shit to me. This seems like the only thing worthy of it...even if it's clearly Lucas's cash cow.

    my thinking too. i do think 3D is ruining movies, but this has bad ass potential.

    With Star Wars on it (the original trilogy), what doesn't?

    Recently they had the Salt Lake symphony play Star Wars music at the Jazz's stadium....you bet your ass if I had the money I would've been there.

    Vader costume and all. I would've brought a joint too.

    I remember hearing months ago that if it costs 50 million dollars to upgrade an existing movie to being 3D, that the hundreds of millions it would bring in make it worth it.

    I hope it doesn't look like layered-flat 3D. I'll check it out, but they better do it right.

    ...and if they put real lasers or something coming out of the screen, then that would be really cool :D

    I contend that George's earlier films (Raiders, Star Wars, etc) are FAR superior to his later films (Crystal Skull, Phantom Menace) because he had technological and financial limitations when filming. Once he had all the means in the world, he took a winning formula and thought overhauling it would be best. Instead, he's destroying his own art. He's so focused on trees, he doesn't see the forest.

    ...the sad part, some kids down the road who first see Phantom Menace and Crystal Skull, and going to prefer his later stuff over his earlier stuff.

    But as far as 3D goes, if it's done right, I wouldn't mind it at all. But I don't trust George to make the right call anymore.
