George Lucas Butthurt that Nobody Cares about 3D JarJar, Retires.

you keep jumping to arbitrary points while i bring up the simple truth of market stay power. thats what keeps the OT making money and the PT dwindling.

its absolutely true that TMP had an epic opening...but the reason for the later drop off is lost interest is film. simple as that. the current box office earnings are nothing more than a fizzle. you can grab for random issues which may affect sales. some people dont like wearing the glasses. the economy is rough. its not as old a film as the OT, etc. while these factors may affect sales by some percentage, collectively they are not the reason why few people are going to see it.

So they make money... we always knew that.

and women be shoppin

Iv just watched it today, and honestly, theres no need to spend money and go watch this in the cinema because well the 3d isnt anything special.

Iv got the movie on dvd, and theres little to no changes. Yes Yoda and Jar Jar look better. Thats great. But not worth me spending money to watch the film I have at home.

There was a reason to go watch the OT special edition back in 1997. "If you've never seen Star Wars on the Big screen, then you've never seen it at all."

That reason just doesnt exist anymore. Most of us have mini-cinemas at home nowadays with our 50" surround sound plasma screens.

And of course love it or hate it we all know TPM will never be as epic as the Original Star Wars.

But I still love the Star Wars prequels and Im not the only one who does. Not as epic or as successful as the Originals but then how many prequel/sequels are.

Wait for the 3D versions of the OT then, I guess?

are they still working on 3D retro-conversions after all this recent news? just curious.

Yep Fox still plans on releasing the OT next year.

you mean ep4 or all of them?

Fox still owns all of the distribution rights to the OT and PT, we're definitely getting ROTS and AOTC next year in 3d. The 3d conversions have been known to be happening for awhile, and it would be insane for FOX to not profit off the current hype surrounding XII by releasing the OT leading up to the release of XII. Considering that this has been the plan for awhile and that XII is a direct sequel to the OT, FOX would have to have their heads way up their asses to not see the profitability there.

right but you said OT next year, not PT. thats why i asked.
not that im into retro-fit 3d, but even by their standards it seems
like jesus walking on water to finish both trilogies by next year.

Oh and sorry I didn't mean they are releasing the OT next year, I meant the year after. This is logic-based speculation though

I knew what you meant.

no, you guessed what he meant.

Also, I've been getting into the terrible habit of accidentally writing XII instead of VII!! I think it's because I'm also just as excited for the Star Wars X trilogy as I am for the current one.

Mmm hmm, aww yeah!

saw it; it was ok.

Next year, they are releasing 3D versions of both Ep. II & III a month apart - September & October 2013. They've moved up the timeline from the original idea of one movie a year. I have no idea if the recent sale complicates the schedule.

Hmm... maybe 3D is going in decline as well.

well...retro-fit 3d is abysmal imho.
