Star Wars in 3-D?
Well, I don't have any depth perception.
So, I can only wonder why.

He wants to make as much money as he can on SW, he just doesn't want to spend any on 7,8,9. He knows he would just be slashing up what the EU authors have done if he made them, so he's just milking originals and prequels.

If you figure it takes 5 to 6 years from conception to the screen per film ... and GL is now 61 that means he would be 76 + when 7, 8 and 9 were completed ... Frankly I do not think it is very practical.

You don't have depth perception? Me either, but mine is due to having an artifical eye. Can't play any of the video games and I really felt like suing Disney after I went to Disney World and got sick from all the 3-D movies they have there (maybe I should have sued them LOL).
So no 3-D Star Wars for me...
and I can't think this is real

i agree Mon Jas...
But he could base 7,8,9 on the trilogy of books that came out after ROTJ........Thrawn trilogy and so forth... so he would not butcher up the author's timeline or EU characters.

Yeah, I can totally envision the first scene of A New Hope in 3D! That would be awesome.!

I'm wondering what this 3-D technology is? If you have a film that's already digital, I can see how it could be done, separating the film into two perspectives and modifying things a little here and there. Yeah, that's the sort of hi-tech thing that Lucas would go for. At least it's not one of those double image things with one blue frame offset from one red frame that you need special glasses to "see" the effect? Yech! Those things NEVER work on me! My brain don't do that. What is completely unclear to me is what kind of "glasses" this brand of 3-D requires. That's always been the Achilles' heel of 3-D, special glasses required.
Years ago, a really bad scifi flick was released where the 3-D effect was done with polarized glasses. One frame was polarized one way, and the other perpendicular to that. Since everything was the same color I could sort of could "see" the 3-D effect with the disposable glasses you got with it by just switching from one eye to the other. Even with one eye, you could still have the option of just watching the film in 2-D.
The Reuters article implied that Peter Jackson might like to do "Lord of the Rings" in 3-D, too, so Lucas wouldn't been the only one jumping into that pool. And James Cameron doing all of his films in 3-D from now on? What's up with these guys?

Or think of it as 22 years between trilogies, so Lucas would be 83...92 by the end of the trilogy. Hmmm...maybe he will become old and senile and hand it over to someone else in a bout of insanity. Then the madness can start ALL over again.

He knows he would just be slashing up what the EU authors have done if he made them, so he's just milking originals and prequels. So the deathstar being created by bugs, clone stromtroopers and other such facets haven't been against what the EU did/says? GL owns his franchise and can really do what he wants, if he made 7 - 9 I would be happy and wouldn;t concern myself with EU at all. As for making money I diagree. Lucas LOVES technology and most likely he wants to apply it to his stuff which will be fantastic  |

Kevin Smith should take over Star Wars. I really hope he gets the TV show.

If you've read stuff on AICN then you know he's the most likely candidate. If the TV show takes place after ROTJ then Mark Hamill might pop up once in a while for a mentoring role. I'm excited.
