Lucas To Redo Star Wars In 3-D
Warlock7 writes "You might have thought that it was going to all be over on May 19 with the release of Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Well, not so fast. It seems that George Lucas is planning to re-re-release the Star Wars films in a new 3-D format. There are also several other directors that are interested in this new technology and they are trying to get theaters to install new technology to allow the showing of their films in the new 3-D format [req free reg]."
What does Lucas do anyway, just wake up every now and then and think "in what new ways can I rape the fond memories of a younger generation"?
This guy's gone totally batshit insane. I think the best thing anyone could do for the franchise at this point is put the man in a damned straighjacket and throw him off the brooklyn bridge with a lead weight in a backpack on his back.
I can respect that some people may have liked the first two pieces (even if it wasn't my cup of tea, so to speak), and this third one might be okay, but this is a little ridiculous.
PLEASE GEORGE JUST STOP. It was a great idea the first time through with episodes 4-6, and I understand that you had to round it out with the first three parts of the series, but you're just hurting us now. Please.... please stop hurting us.

It continues!

Solo won't shoot at all.
He'll have a badly redubbed over diplomatic way out of it...
Naaah. This'll be a good thing, if Lucas doesn't mess with his own work again.
Oh yay.
Jar-Jar in even MORE 3d.
3d Jar-Jar...
Thanks. Now I'm going to have nightmares. The bad kind.
This DVD set will be called "Star Wars: The Expensive Edition".
Four words: Jar-Jar in 3D
"Oh the humanity!"

You might have thought that it was going to all be over on May 15 with the release of Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.
Lucas originally promised 9 episodes.
his fans are going to make sure he delivers, even if it involves necromancy.
Isn't a 2D JarJar torture enough?
Could he possibly add a third dimension to the characters as well?
Deep Throat next, perhaps?
Its like a million voices all cried out in agony, and were suddenly silenced. Surely this is some cruel early April fools day joke? How much more craptacular can he make those movies? And how many ways can he find to ruin them again and again?
Forget Star Wars, I'm more excited about "The Adventures of Shark Boy & Lava Girl in 3-D." I mean, c'mon, with a title like that you know it's gotta be good!
I'll turn into a supernova and burn up everything. Well I'll turn into a black little hole and you'll turn into string.
I fully support George Lucas in his endeavors to make the Star Wars films fit his original vision.
Horse, meet whip. Horse? Are you OK Horse?

From the article, Jackson screened remastered portions from the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy that featured a looming Gollum and battle dust that virtually fell onto the audience.
I do hope that Lucas doesn't adopt that particular idea of Peter Jackson's.
Jar Jar is bad enough when projected on a screen. I'd hate to think about how I'd feel if he were "out and about" in the audience, so to speak.
Please, Jar Jar, stay where you are. Don't come any closer.
2 hours of sticking different colored light sabers in my face.
Jesus H. Christ on a grilled cheese sandwich, give it up, George! You've raped Star Wars repeatedly in the ass with a razor-coated cock sheath while beating it over the head with a broken bottle and biting it in the neck! It's dead, you fucking necrophiliac! You've killed it, and yet you STILL want more? Burn in hell, Lucas.
anyone else remember the southpark bit about this?
Are you refering to the the sanctimonious episode? Oh, wait, that includes all of them.
So we'll be able to see the holographic "chess" match as it was intended...finally....of course too many releases of Star Wars are prone to make original fans want to pull Lucas' arms from his sockets.

I am a viral sig. Please help me spread.
It's like they're following me...

Great. Long teary-eyed close up shots between Luke's effeminate grandson and his trusty butch friend.
Small potatoes make the steak look bigger.
In 2006 Lucas will release episodes 4 to 6 in Smell-o-vision.
You can smell the oily robots.
You can smell Luke's sweaty shirt.
You can smell the ozone as light sabers split the air.
You can smell it when Lord Vader's battle cruiser dumps the garbage! (ignore that it was in a vacuum)
And best of all! You can smell Princess Leia's hot, sweaty, brass bikini!
"does this mean Jar Jar dies quickly, yet abhorrently painfully???"
Sadly, no.
Instead, there is a scene of Obi-wan painting a picture of jar jar while he poses nude
And yes he does die, but it's a slow death while holding hands with obiwan
