It’s been long time since it was reported that George Lucas has mentioned interest in making the Star Wars movies back to theaters, this time popping out Sci-Fi actions on the screen! Steve Sansweet of Lucasfilm dealt with those reports.

“George has publicly expressed an interest in doing Star Wars 3D. Right now there are a number of different technologies, there’s some criticism out there about some of the movies that have quickly changed to 3D, so you have to pick the right technology, you have to get it to a cost that makes sense, and you have to have the time of the director and producer — George — to actually go in there, because you can’t push a button and stuff goes in one end and comes out 3D…”, says Steve. “Saying all that, George remains very interested in doing the Star Wars movies, all six, in 3D, and I hope it will happen someday in the not too distant future.” Source: today3D

With AVATAR on its way to becoming the world’s top grossing film of all time,  other directors are starting to acknowledge the benefits of 3D cinema.

The global success of AVATAR has even convinced George Lucas to bring his classic Star Wars trilogy back to life in the third dimension he has recently revealed. During an interview with Access Hollywood, Lucas told the world how Cameron’s 3D epic has convinced him that the technology has evolved to the point where he is ready to reconfigure his much loved trilogy. Lucas said, “We’ve been looking for years and years and years of trying to take ‘Star Wars’ and put it in 3D. We’ve been struggling with it, but I think this will be a new impetus to make that happen.” May the third dimension be with you. Read the rest of this entry »
