Lucasfilm Ltd. announced today that the live-action Star Wars Saga will be converted to 3D! There are few movies that lend themselves more perfectly to 3D; from the Death Star trench run to the Tatooine Podrace, the Star Wars Saga has always delivered an entertainment experience that is completely immersive. Presented by Twentieth Century Fox and Lucasfilm Ltd., the cutting edge conversion will take that immersion to the next thrilling level, with Industrial Light & Magic supervising the project. Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace is expected to be released theatrically in 2012. A release date has not yet been determined.

"Getting good results on a stereo conversion is a matter of taking the time and getting it right," said John Knoll, Visual Effects Supervisor for Industrial Light & Magic. "It takes a critical and artistic eye along with an incredible attention to detail to be successful. It is not something that you can rush if you want to expect good results. For Star Wars we will take our time, applying everything we know both aesthetically and technically to bring audiences a fantastic new Star Wars experience."

This was only a matter of time. They will do it right if they take their time. Only time will tell.

I for one would love for them to remake the OT and PT in the same fashion as the Clone Wars Cartoon.

things they should change:

* no ewoks, replace them with something more believable, or make them ferocious animals.
* jar jar less annoying and not present in ep. II
* better Vader vs Obi-wan battle in Ep IV
* color holonet (why are they blue? seriously!)
* less 1970s-esque computers/buttons
* Death to midichlorians
* removal of the exchange between Anakin and Padme in their Corruscant appartment in Ep III
* removal of "she died from loss of will" to "her breathing tubes got messed up bad by Vader"
* adding Ahsoka Tano (flamesuit on) to Ep III and thus the massacre of the Jedi Temple

the beauty is that they won't depend on actors to make sequels/prequels etc...
no problem making beautiful scenes, no problems with too much CGI or too much puppet BS.

drawbacks: Slave Leia won't look hot

god it would rule

I'll keep editing as I see fit
