Star Wars Will be Released in 3-D
In other news, George Lucas continues his all-out assault on the franchise that made him famous, beloved and ridiculously rich. After needlessly futzing with the original trilogy by inexplicably changing key moments (Han/Greedo) and adding pointless scenes and special effects, and then thrusting upon the world the execrable prequels, word is now that Lucas will be giving the whole franchise the 3-D treatment. Of course, he is. He’ll squeeze whatever he can out of Star Wars, integrity be damned. Fortunately for us all, he’s starting with The Phantom Menace in 2012, and each subsequent film will follow on an annual timetable. So by my math, at least we don’t have to worry about this until 2015 when the original will be given the superficial 3-D facelift.
