Episode I 3D Release Date Announced

Posted by Unknown on from the ruining-your-childhood-in-3d dept.

TheBrakShow writes 'Lucasfilm Ltd. and Twentieth Century Fox announced today that the 3D theatrical launch of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace now has an official release date — February 10, 2012!' Are enough fans interested in watching the weakest films of the trilogy again just to experience them in 3D?"
I for one am looking forward to a new and improved Jar Jar experience.

    I think the RedLetterMedia/Plinkett Reviews are the best thing the come out of the Star Wars prequel trilogy. I found the review to be much more entertaining and higher quality than the films themselves.

    The new movies were pretty close to Lucas' original vision. The difference is that this time the actors actually did what he told them. In the originals, people like Harrison Ford just ignored his direction and, in some memorable places, the script (for example, he was meant to reply 'I love you too' to Leia's 'I love you', but the 'I know' that he ad libbed worked a lot better).

    A Volkswagen Beetle in a NASCAR race has already been made. Talk about unrealistic!

    Even though it was unrealistic doesn't change the fact that an anthropomorphized Volkswagen Beetle from a cheesy 1960's Disney children's movie had a deeper range of emotion and acting ability than what was demonstrated by the actors in the Phantom Menace.
