Ok, yeah I'm going....

Hell yes. Saw this today as well. The coverage from CVI has really been good on SW.com. Like the Chris Hardwick spots and interviews.

Good turn out of money so you can't blame them for going for a full release. Good business sense. As I don't really care for these films I won't be going but those who enjoy them well fair play have fun.

Now Howard the Duck in 3D..... Urghhh

These days, that's not really a lot.

And as i said before just because it makes a lot of money does not mean its a good film. ;)

Regardless of anyone's opinion of the film, my son will make sure we're both there :)

[Bryancd]

well, to be fair, for a rerelease it's pretty sporty business, certainly profitable after the cost on conversion and will be a great lead in for Ep. VII.

And that my friends is all that matters. :)

Funnily enough, Star Wars wasn't made for 40 year old guys in 1977. It was made for kids. And so were the prequels. My kids love 'em. That's fine. It's theirs. I had my childhood, still unraped.

Indeed, but it provides wonderful fodder for snarky arm chair quarter backing from 40 year old guys on the internet who fancy themselves filmmakers!

My daughter loves a new hope, she couldn't stand Phantom so I stand by my comment. Oh and I'm 39 so I will take your comment as not aimed at me. ;)

[Geekyfanboy]

Lucky for me I don't give a sh*t what people say or think about these films.. I love each and everyone of them for different reasons from Episode 1 to Episode 6 and nothing you say, do or chastise me for will change that. :)

BTW.. the above Statement was just that a statement.. not aimed towards anyone here.. it's just my general rule.
