Star Wars 3D And TV

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the never-going-to-be-rid-of-that-man dept.

Master_of_Tumbleweeds writes "Rick McCallum, co-producer of the Star Wars prequel trilogy, appeared at a press conference in Japan earlier today. He spoke about the future of Star Wars, specifically about the 3D updates of all six films and the upcoming TV series. McCallum said that the 3D films would be released within two to three years, and that the TV shows would take place during the 20 year time period between Episode III and IV. He also mentioned that one of the shows would follow the adventures of a young Luke Skywalker, and reveal how certain characters ended up together. The show starts production next year."

    I'll just go to the zoo and taunt the monkeys. Eventually they'll throw some feces at my face, and I already have the same effect of the new Star Wars flying at me in 3D.

    On the other hand, if Lucas makes it show in three dimensions, maybe it will give the characters some depth.

    Or maybe not.

    He also mentioned that one of the shows would follow the adventures of a young Luke Skywalker . . .

    I don't see why so many people are negative about this prospect. I mean, how could this possibly go wrong? ;-)

    Depending on the angle you watch it from, either Han or Greedo can shoot first!
