Ready to See Jar Jar Binks Again in Glorious 3D?
Yipee!
Had your fill of 3D movies yet? Hopefully not, as it'll still be more than 11 months until the re-re-release of the Star Wars Saga with a whole new dimension.
Revealed today is the date for the release of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace in 3D. According to AVClub, Mark your calendars for February 10, 2012 – be it so that you can be camped out in line or to cruise by to see all those in costume.
Lucasfilm plans to release the films again in order of the story at a rate of one per year. That means that fans of the original trilogy – and the original trilogy only – won't be getting the first taste of the 1970s classic until 2015.
The pod race in 3D will be pretty great, but we're going to be taking our glasses off during the bits with Jar Jar Binks.

But in 3D you can attempt to strangle him!
I really hope whoever came up with that dang character has a horrible rest of his life. We can only hope he walks through the wrong part of "town" and runs into a gang who happens to feel the need to show him how unhappy they are because of JarJar.

And who, sir, are you sgggahhh...
Jesus how much money does Lucas need to milk off this franchise. This has to be up there for the most money a single movie franchise has ever generated.
And will the 3D version be the same as the original theatrical release, or have the added/removed scenes from the DVD's - or something new altogether?
ya, I tried doing a star wars marathon recently... we got through 2 movies and decided it was a bad idea. The games are fun, but lets be honest... the movies really stick on ice.
This is a waste. You can't get good looking 3D without being filmed in 3D. None of them were filmed in 3D. I don't care what your budget is. It's not going to have that depth you get from movies filmed in 3D.
I liked Jar Jar.
It's just a conversion, not real 3DStereo.
But, even if Lucas make it real 3D, I won't bother going to the cinema.
Saw the link to this article and instantly the words came out of my mouth, "OH GOD!".
Jar, jar is a plague upon.. everything.
Dear Toms.
Because you have posted this article, I am leaving forever. But only this website since it was the only one I visit to post such a thing.
i didn't even want to see him in 2D!

Yeah, let's not read a tech forum because it's posting news related to technology.
I wonder what other movies will be coming to our home theater in 3D. I remember the first DVD movie I saw featured 3 angles and was about a young lady from Dallas who did many things....
They would do better releasing Plinkett's review of the movie in 3D. At least that wasn't garbage.

1 million calamities upon you for that title.
I wonder if the 3d thing will faze out like it has over the years.
How many people in the theater do you think will duck when his giant flap of an ear swings around?
Very smart move.
Get people exited about 3D now...
...then wait 4 years while 3D screens become popular .

I think it will still look cool.
Han still shot first, no matter how many dimensions the film is in.....

Theres been talk for years about how lucas arts have been trying to convert 2D to 3D and they've spent alot of time and money doing it. I'm not sure how you can just trash all their work when you have yet to see anything made from this conversion. Watch it then decide because right now your just talking out of your a$$

LOL
Darth Maul in 3D!
Things to do...
Add some scenes into ALL movies... the POD-RACE extended version is quite good and other aspects of EP1 is improved with those extra scenes. Han NEEDs to be fixed and KILL Greedo properly. And might as well FIX other special effect glitches.
But... usually when a movie is converted into 3D... it just doesn't work the same. Tron Legacy, which is supposed to have been filmed in 3D... didn't look very 3D to me, it looks just as fine in 2D IMHO. Avatar looks amazing in 3D, it was done right. And from what I heard, the Avatar movie was voted as WORST 3D conversion for the sake of 3D.
3D done wrong CAN hurt the 3D movie industry. Me and a friend watched and enjoyed Green Hornet in 2D. The 3D previews shows all that really needs to be in 3D... it doesn't need it.
3D Animations like Owls of Galoue(whatever), Toy Story 3, Rango, etc which exists in a 3D computer environment are easiest to look good.
Dressing up this movie in 3-D is like dressing up the Emperor in New Clothes.... We all can see right through it and still know the movie sucks.
[BLEEP] you, George Lucas!
I really hope whoever came up with that dang character has a horrible rest of his life. We can only hope he walks through the wrong part of "town" and runs into a gang who happens to feel the need to show him how unhappy they are because of JarJar.
i'd like to meet that scary star wars fanboi gang... what would star wars fanboi's slang? can somebody slang virginity on the street corner? ultimately that's the only thing star wars fanboi's have in spades...
And will the 3D version be the same as the original theatrical release, or have the added/removed scenes from the DVD's - or something new altogether?
Removed as in will JarJar parts will be gone altogether? XD
Why so much hate for Jar Jar? I actually like him but maybe because the movies came out when I was a kid. But I agree that Lucas is milking the franchise instead of coming up with something new. Having it on Blu-Ray is a must but I'm not a big fan of the whole 3d wave. Still, I'm going to watch them as I haven't had the chance to watch the original trilogy in a cinema. What I won't give to watch LotR again on the big screen...
Great... Now I can see the same movie again with 5 minutes of 3-D for the amazing price of $20 a ticket.
