Leave it to George Lucas to figure out a way to get
Star Wars fans to pay to see his movies all over again ... again. Plans
are underway to re-release not one, not two, but all six
Star Wars movies using state-of-the-art 3-D technology. So now moviegoers will get to experience the thrill of dodging light sabres, laser beams and Jabba the Hut drool sometime in the future, as no exact schedule has been set at this time.
Lucas had mentioned his intentions for this 3-D bonanza
at least three years ago, where the plan was to re-release one movie a year. I have to imagine that interest would die down about half way through that scenario though. I remember when the much-ballyhooed "special editions" of the original trilogy came out back in 1997 and everyone was pretty much over it by the time
Return of the Jedi (I refuse to call it
Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi) came out.
