3D release of all six star wars movies
Found this on a site called MovieWeb
According to The Hollywood Reporter, George Lucas is such a fan of the latest 3-D technology that he is planning to remaster all of the Star Wars films for rerelease in 3-D.
Appearing as part of a sextet of high-profile directors promoting 3-D and digital cinema at ShoWest on Thursday, Lucas said he hadn't yet committed to a precise schedule but hoped to have the first film ready for the 30th anniversary of the original Star Wars movie in 2007 and that he would then rerelease one Star Wars film per year in 3-D.
Lucas was joined by James Cameron, Robert Zemeckis, Robert Rodriguez and Randal Kleiser. Peter Jackson joined the group via a pretaped 3-D segment. They all implored the exhibition community to invest in digital projectors, which would allow theaters to show their upcoming movies in 3-D. Cameron is in preproduction on the 3-D film Battle Angel, planned for a 2007 release. Zemeckis has two 3-D features in production, and Rodriguez is readying The Adventures of Shark Boy & Lava Girl in 3-D for release in the summer. Jackson, who is currently filming King Kong, announced no specific 3-D plans, but according to sources he has installed a 3-D master suite in his production offices in New Zealand.
Apparently they are slated for release in the spring of 2009 according to according to a site called FilmJerk
It makes you wonder, as impressive as that first scene in " A New Hope" was originally, what will that Star Destroyer look like going over your head in 3D ?

My wife, ( and me too I would have to admit ), would really like to see movies set after episode 6. About the Imperial Remnant and the new Jedi Academy.

Yeah, either more movies after Episode VI or before Episode I like "Knights of the Old Republic" or something to do with the Old Republic.
Are y'all aware that there are two other movies, right? They are "Caravan of Courage" and "Battle for Endor".

It would be cool to see all 6 in 3D. I just hope these sources are correct, and that there is a theater around my area that'll support the technology.
