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]."
Jesus is just as real as Chewbacca.
Trolling is a art,
Quote from George Lucas follows...
"I feel that I've made the movie the best I can and it turned out the way I wanted it to be, so I'm happy," Lucas, 60, told The Associated Press in an interview. "I never try to anticipate what the world's going to think or even worry about whether they're going to like it or not. That's not my job, to make people like my movies. They either like them or they don't. That's completely out of my hands."

Could this be an idea to reinvigorate the movie-going experience? The last movie I paid $9 for meant overpriced food, stepping out for 5 minutes to find an employee to fix minor problems with the projector's focus on an overrun print, and then fellow-moviegoers who apparently paid $9 to answer cellphones and talk loudly to friends.
So what else is there? Digital theaters haven't taken off like Lucas obviously planned. While the quality of the theater experience has generally decreased, the quality of the home experience has increased. Add to this the increasing availability and quality of pirated movies, and what point is there in even going to the theater?
3D, if Lucas and friends have their way.
