Star Wars flicks to see 3D re-release, starting with Episode 1 in 2012

Originally posted by engadget.com
The Star Wars series hasn't even hit Blu-ray yet, but The Hollywood Reporter reports sources are saying George Lucas definitely intends to refill his money pit in 2012 by bringing out the movies, one each year, in 3D.

Talk about the ultimate money grab. I guess George wasn't getting enough royalties from video games, comics, books, and toys to support his ranch anymore. I like the guy, after all he did create this universe we all love so dearly. But I mean come on, another re-release just because 3D is so popular now?

That being said, I'll be in line a week in advance to get tickets... I'm a Star Wars freak

Yep, I'd see it.

Hopefully they'll be able to do all six in 3D.

This definitely looks more interesting than the shitty Social Network movie. I couldn't possible elaborate on how much of a Star Wars fan I am... you really have no idea, so bring it on even if it is one episode per year! I'm really excited about this.

Damnit. As much as I hate George Lucas and his constant attempts to ruin Star Wars, I keep coming back for more.

Awesome... I've always been a big fan of Star Wars for the longest time. Now I really want to see the 3D movies. =D

Side note, I remember when there was a Star Wars Telnet thing years ago... I remember watching it on my old Windows 98 machine =P

I'll probably go see SW/ESW/RotJ again, just like I did with the previous 'updated' versions... but I'm still glad I have the Limited Edition DVDs with the original versions on them.

(...waiting for the technology that actually projects the movie in 3D around you (not interactive, though...). Probably be fun, with the original trilogy. )

I didn't think the telnet version ever went away, but I keep forgetting the command. You could always try using VLC to view the DVDs in ASCII mode, too, I suppose.

I'm not really all that surprised at all, honestly. I can see it being a big draw, as it's still a tried-and-true classic series.

And we have a date for Episode I - February 10th, 2012!

People will talk shit as much as they want about Lucas milking these films for all their worth, but every single one of them will be there in line at the midnight showing.

I imagine that the lightsaber fights are going to be much more exciting when you are trying to not get cut when they come flying out of your screen.

Not for the prequels, I won't.

Paulguy's Post configuration
It's the telnet server at towel.blinkenlights.nl.

I also captured the stream with time codes once before but it was lagging so there was tearing.

edit: typo in the url

edit 2. IPv6 doesn't get you anything special, other than a different message.

Orlandu, you should use separated CSS thingys when changing your layout, if you look back at the first post it's kinda hard reading the link and the quote box sticks out. :<

Also, I don't get why they remake the Star Wars movies all the time, sure, they are great films but, yeah, I don't know.

They're not remakes, they're just slight retellings.

Really, they're mostly just edited rereleases; they know there are fans out there that'll buy the releases, so...

Disney does something similar, though they don't alter the content of their movies as much - they'll just pull the old movies from the vault, re-master them for the new media of the day, and loose them onto the market for a limited time.

They're going in sequential episode order, starting with #1, one being released each year. Attack of the Clones will be 2013, Revenge in 2014, etc etc.
