I think one of the real reasons they’re not advancing it is because the expected upgrades to digital projection have not occurred at the pace Lucas and others anticipated. Cameron’s Avatar may cause some ripples but right now there’s no real incentive for theaters to upgrade (even though, financially, they would turn more profits over the long haul) and so, if nobody can show your 3D movie on 3000-screen scale (and altering a live-action movie to this 3D style would need to be cost-effective in order to justify it)… why go through all the work to convert them?

Okay, I’ve changed my mind. I’m not saying Lucas should be killed, but he should be put in jail or something. He’s been messing with Star Wars way too much, and now he’s unleashing his fury on Indiana Jones, too. I’m sorry, but Indy 4 was lame. And this is coming from someone who actually hadn’t seen any of the movies until earlier this year, so don’t even tell be it’s because I’m too nostalgic or because my expectations were too high. Indy 4, while it had some good moments, was lame, boring, and just downright ridiculous.

I mean, I didn’t HATE it, but I wasn’t overjoyed, and I certainly won’t be shelling out $20 plus for the DVD.

Also, I actually saw the first two Star Wars prequels before I saw the OT. I remember being bored to death by Phantom Menace and AOTC. I saw the originals in 2005 before ROTS came out, and I loved them. It was really the original films that turned me into a Star Wars fan. Somebody should really put Lucas into his place and tell him that stories actually CAN finish.

No but we do want to kill him, its the only way to keep him from fucking shit up.

Lucas is a hack now. He’s lost all his creative passion and thinks only of building better toys to play with. Look at this clone wars shit he’s selling. Who the fuck cares about the clone wars anymore now that they’ve been made into a joke? Oh hey, what’s the point of building an army to eradicate the jedi if the robots would have worked just fine? Fool me once and all that George. I’m keeping my money. 3d’s just not going to sell especially for a conversion of a film never intended for the format.

A lot of the changes in the special edition releases are dumb (for me, the ones that bother me the most are Greedo getting to shoot and Boba Fett’s voice being redubbed). And the prequels (except Episode III) really suck. I mean, I find AOTC nearly unwatchable now, and I could watch it easily three years ago.

However, while Lucas may be doing some pretty dumb things (Indy 4 is another thing than comes to mind), cut the man some slack. I mean, we wouldn’t have Star Wars or Indy (the original movies) if it weren’t for him. Those who say he raped your childhood, what exactly was your childhood? From the way you make it sound, Lucas was the one who bought you your childhood.

I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m not crazy about what Lucas is doing either, he should just leave these things to rest. But we don’t want to kill the man…do we?

JJ….thanks for offering to rescue my childhood. i’ll pass on the freebie, though :-)

Captain Awesome…my thoughts exactly. He’ll be 80 years old re-vamping Stars Wars even more.

Hey Sean — the “raping my childhood” line was old 10 years ago. While your little childhood may be “raped,” it takes a lot more than altering a few seconds of a movie to change any memories I have. And apparently the hundreds of millions of people around the world who saw the prequels multiple times and bought the DVDs disagree with you. (And if you REALLY must, you can always go out and get the $15 two-disc editions of Episodes IV, V and VI, which contain the “original” versions — you know, the ones with astonishingly crappy effects, lousy grain throughout and three X-wings fighting in the Death Star trench.)

George Lucas continues to rape my childhood. I’m wishing I never sold those original VHS Star Wars movies. The Special Editions are a joke, Prequels making Darth Vader into Darth Pussy, and the new Clone Wars looks horrendous.

George…please…just leave Star Wars alone!!!!!!!!!!!!

go lucas! create a 3-D digital elvis swinging through the jungle on monkey vines! Have Indiana Jones chase My Little Pony (also made out of translucent plastic like a particular skull), and stand around yawning for the final act!

One, there isn’t enough weed on the planet that’d make me go see those recent films again. Second, even if they manage to show IV-V in 3D, if it’s the revised Greedo shoots first-Jabba’s in it, but on Jenny Craig-Falcon escaping the hangar-Boba Fett don’t sound right-Cloud city has a background-Jabba’s palace has a lounge act with back-up dancers/singers-galaxy in celebration-Hayden “Can’t Fraking Act” Christensen replacing Shakespearean trained actor Sir Sebastian Shaw-raping that is the “Special Editions” then no thank you.

Just Get SAMSUNG’S new 3D Plasma TV.
It converts anything into 3D.

Leave it to Mr. Babyman to know what’s actually going on.

I agree, the Nightmare 3D is way too subtle. And I can certainly see how it would be a much bigger choir to convert a Star Wars film. I do know that when talk of this first came about, they had converted a sequence to show exhibitors at Showest, so it is possible.

If anything, Lucas is a perfectionist in the R&D part of filmmaking. And if anyone will figure a better way to convert a film, it will be him. Besides, imagine all the money he could make with six 3D star wars films. That’s more than enough incentive right there.
