Yet another Star Wars movie re-release

Perfect time to re-release a completely redone Prequel Trilogy, George! Why stop at 3-D? Go ask your Clone Wars team to get to work on the rewrite.
...we can dream, can't we?

So this 3D conversion is finally happening, eh? Well, I'll probably end up checking it out, even though I don't think it's a good idea.
Considering it's only gonna be a year behind the blu-ray release I'd say it's safe to say Lucas needs some money.

Unless Lucas has figured out some kind of massive improvements to the process, 3D isn't nearly worth the trouble unless it was actually shot that way. Unless he's sending James Cameron and his amazing camera rigs back in time to 1977, that's not going to be the case.
Highly doubtful. If he needed money they'd already be on blu-ray.
What makes you think he can't? The "Coalition of Directors with inflated egos" will call Zemeckis to borrow a delorean.
Interesting. I know he's been talking about doing this for some time now. Don't think I'll be seeing it though.
Yeah...Lucas needs money so badly, he was able to donate half of his fortune to charity just recently. Poor guy, must be tough for him these days.
Wow, yeah, or better yet, don't bother with the PT at all. The box-office returns for the series will certainly be fascinating.
As for myself, I'll gladly see ANH and ESB in well-done 3D. Jedi, I'm not so sure... kinda doubt it.
He has. It's called taking your long sweet time, and spending enough money.
I doubt these will really affect the box office at all. Much like the re-release of Avatar didn't have much affect, and a Star Wars fan with his name being Yoda telling George Lucas to go away is amusing to me.
Agreed!
Not a SW fan, are you?
Never underestimate the power of the Dark Side...
And, never underestimate the power of SW fans!
When A NEW HOPE SE opened in 1997, it made more than 100 million (!!!), and it was the time of home video entertainment already!
The 6 films will make some money. Hopefully enough so that the live action TV show will get made finally!
Cannot wait!
I'm a huge Star Wars fan, don't know where you got that I implied I wasn't. I simply stated I find the anti-Lucas sentiment from fans amusing considering without him we would never have had Star Wars in the first place, and no before anyone jumps all over me I'm not a Lucas apologist either.
I still don't think these 3D re-leases will have much impact on the box office during a year that will have such mega blockbusters all through it. My point on "Avatar:Special Edition" still stands.

But is it really? In terms of DVD sales?
Remember too though that was because they hadn't been in theaters for a while and because there were new never before scenes added. If these come out during 2012 they will be up against heavy competition. I'm not saying they won't make money, I'm saying they won't have much impact on the box office.
I think the Battle of Endor would be amazing in 3D and worth the price of admission.
I would say 'damn you', George Lucas, but I want to give him my money anyways. I might skip Clones, but I will be watching all of the rest of the movies.
