To staff: I realize we've had the "all will be revealed on May 4th..." and various other topics that have touched on this before, but we never had a thread dedicated to SW3D news. There is my reasoning. If you feel it should be merged, my bad.
Star Wars Episode I
In theaters February 10th
The first theatrical trailer will be shown before the 3D showings of The Three Musketeers
Official poster released to the public:
I really don't see the point of this, for pretty much one reason:
Why would I pay $20 to see a movie (That I have already seen) with just some added effects?
I really do hope that these last long enough to get to the OT. I'll gladly go see those again. Maybe not Episode 6 though, depends on who plays Vader's force ghost and if he asks the audience "Nooooo?"
I will go and see it, and the other 5. Why, you ask?
Because it is freaking Star Wars that is why. I was too young when I saw the OT when it was re-released, too young to remember TPM in 1999, and still too young to remember ATOC in 2002. I didn't even get to see ROTS in theaters for me to remember.
I not only not care about lining George's pockets, I want to. Why shouldn't I? I mean, a lot of it goes into charities, or his own work. Why on earth shouldn't be rich? He created one of the best and most in depth stories of all time, captured the imaginations of millions, and revolutionized how movies were made. He has literally indirectly changed my life.
He could not change Star Wars enough for it not to be Star Wars, unless he replaced all the actors with talking penguins and renamed it Happy Wars, then it would have gone too far.
If it gets to the OT I'll go see that, but only because of the size of the screen. The others I've seen on the big screen, and I've never really been more thrilled by 3D movies than I would have been if they were 2D.
1) 3D is a visual effect. If the stories stay the same, then really the prequels have the most to gain, as the visuals were amazing. I don't care what you say about CGI, the atmosphere, detail, and overall beauty of the environments and settings were phenominal. So from a purely visual standpoint, the prequels are going to benefit the most from being on the big screen in 3D.
2) This

A side note: I do not plan on watching it in 3D. I might even get the 2D glasses, which make 3D Movies look properlly 2D again. (I'm joking of course, 2D Glasses are a scam).

I think I mentioned this in a different thread where the topic of Star Wars in 3D came up: podracing will be really, really cool in 3D, along with some other action scenes from the rest of the movies, but otherwise my interest is pretty minimal. I wouldn't go see the 3D releases on my own, but it could be something fun to do with a group of friends if I have the time. After all, it is Star Wars, and it would be a lot of fun to see on the big screen again, 3D or not.
I don't like it because then I have to wear two pairs of glasses.
Try wearing those on top of your regular glasses. Very uncomfortable.
Guys, have you ever tried to take off your regular glasses then put on the 3D? Because that's what I do. I wear glasses all the time and I take 'em off when I wear 3D ones.

Offtopic: Probably depends if your near sighted or far sighted.

OFFTOPIC: Well I can't see far away and I am not going to sit in the front row.
Good god no, I hate the first row. The prime seats are center row, in the middle. So I am staring at the center of the screen when I look straight forward.
Ontopic: I don't mind 3D, and I don't mind that George decided to add 3D to his movies(he spent a crapload of money to do it). I just personally don't want to view it in 3D.

I'm near-sighted and just about blind without my glasses on. My vision is terrible.
Also, I thought these movies were being released on Blu-Ray soon.....guessed I got it mixed up with the remastered editions they're releasing.
