Set against the thrilling and exotic backdrop of a "galaxy far, far away," Star Wars is perfectly suited to the immersive 3D theatrical experience, and Episode I delivers some of the Saga's most stunning and spectacular sequences – from the Naboo invasion to the Tatooine Podraces to the climactic lightsaber battle between Darth Maul and the Jedi. Supervised by Industrial Light & Magic, the meticulous conversion is being done with utmost respect for the source material, and with a keen eye for both technological considerations and artistic intentions.

I'm a bit tentative about this, I mean I want to see the movies on the big screen whenever I get the chance, but 3D tends to make me a bit nauseous.

billlybob, take some Dramamine :)

Okay, this pisses me off. Episode 1 is the weakest of the series. I don't like it, but part of me really wants to see what he does with it and if 3D can make it better. I swore not to pay money again for some of these movies and here am I pondering paying more money to watch George beat a dead horse.

Bahh, humbug! ;)

lol no but as I recall it kind of makes me pass out, though maybe I´m thinking of Gravol.

Btw my thoughts on this are as follows:

Probably will look very good, thus is Lucas after all, he will make sure the 3D is right. That being said I would rather see money spent on the rumoured Live Action TV series being development and / or new movies!

KingIsaacLinksr · March 03, 2011, 01:26:37 PM

The live action series has been put on indefinite hold until they can find a way to make it cheaper.

I'm cautious about this, but idk if I'll watch it.

Oh its going to be awful. Jar Jar's ears flying at you sheeeeesh. Look for a start the script is terrible, no matter how much you polish it, its still a turd.

George. Make a new film.

Of course i'll still go and see it and hate myself even more for being sucked into his huge gold laced wallet.
