Well it was inevitable wasn’t it? George Lucas has announced that the entire Star Wars saga is going to be shown in 3D. His production company Lucasfilm has been quoted in the Metro as saying “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’.
That may well be true but the cynic in me feels that, after all the special editions and prequels, this is Lucusfilm squeezing the last drop of profit out of the films… that is until Star Wars Virtual Reality… 😉
First up in 2012 will be The Phantom Menace 3D.
