I don't know... I think http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_VheAwZBuQ&list=FLQF31HVqA3ob3gofga4_RJQ&index=23&feature=plpp_video is more appropriate,

Are there even any 3D scenes in Star Wars? In the originals theres only about twelve spaceship scenes.

This is a thing I'm confused by too. Why is the Galactic Empire evil exactly?
"I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my new Empire!" ―Darth Vader
And the rebels want to get rid of this man?

Also why is it called Star Wars? War with an s at the end means more than one war. Yet the whole thing is just one war and not even much of one. Its the Galactic Empire vs Rebels.

Then there is Clone Wars. Samething, its the republic vs the separatists. Again only one war. Unless they are talking about the battles that take place on different planets, but those are battles within the war, not wars themselves.

You mean the computer generated stuff? Aside from the space battles there's a bunch of random creatures on Tatooine, a few robots here and there. There are techniques to add fake 3D to non-CG stuff but it doesn't look very good. In this case it wouldn't surprise me if they redid everything in CG then took the 3D stuff from that and overlayed it onto the original. Ofcourse that's a super-expensive process to do something super-unnecessary, which sounds exactly like something George Lucas would do.

Also this 3D fad needs to die. Like now.

3D pops up every 30 years or so. It was popular in th 50s, 80s and now 2010 onwards. Its like tuberculosis. Every 30 years we need to stamp down on it with antibiotics and get rid of it again.

Why yes that is a line from Dara O'briains comedy...

In Avatar the whole Jungle theme almost justified the 3D, but I meant the fact that there really isn't anything in the original trilogy that would look all that interesting in 3D other than the space battles. It's exactly like colouring Casablance or drawing Groucho Glasses on Han Solo.

Red Tails looks good. Though being a minority probably means my perception might be skewed for it though. As long as it's entertaining and better than that god aweful WWI fighte rplane movie which was all about the romance. Though I was going into an aciton flick on that one.

I fully agree. The Empire doesn't seem to be that bad. Sure they killed the Jedi, but what else are they doing that's bad? The jedi seem to be the ones that want chaos. For the Empire to fall apart and turn on itself. Countless war throughout the galaxy. Killing the Emperor wouldn't bring back the Republic. And from what Gamgee tells us, the Galaxy falls into total chaos once the Emperor is killed.

Well, that svcks. George Lucas is awesome.

The planets celebrating at the end of Return of the Jedi was the one edit that improved the series, it actually made it look like the Rebels weren't the sci-fi Al Qaeda

Will Lucasfilm at least release the rest of the movies in 3D? I don't care if Greedo shoots first, so long as I get the opportunity to show watch the movies on the big screen in costume.

You mean apart from denying its citizens basic civil rights, treating non-humans as second class citizens, brutally repressing the slightest hint of dissent, and dressing its officers in Nazi uniforms?

They would celebrate for a day or two and then tens of thousands of Battleships and countless storm troopers would rain down on them for openly rebelling.

Well it works in a few cases like when a movie is done completely in CG. I saw Beowulf in 3D in theaters and it was amazing. But I wouldn't want to have to go through that every time I see a movie. The novelty wears off pretty fast. It's something that really needs to be done sparringly and it needs to stay in theaters where it belongs.

And what movies were you watching? I didn't see Nazi like storm troopers gunning down aliens. Things looked fine to me. The Emperor just sat back and let things run their course.

And as I pointed out. Killing the Emperor didn't fix things. Someone else would take his place. The Republic didn't magically comeback once the Emperor was killed.

But sooner or later it'll become resistant to antibiotics

Any Empire whose empire says things like your hate has made you powerful is suspect in my opinion.

....stop splitting hairs.</sup>

Vast and powerful though he was, he also knew of the one person stronger than himself. At least with his advanced age, the perosn who was stronger than him. Vader's son, to blindly put himself out in the galaxy only opene dup the opportunity for SKywalker to kill him. Though as we see, it was quite in vain. He couldn't live forever, he clones himself many times though, but due to a defect in the force or the device. Or something, his life got shorter and shorter with each clone. He killed his master who did in fact discover immortality, a foolish thing to do. But he was prideful, and thought he could just as easily learn such a technique. He DID influence the rebels, why do you think so little planets rebelled. Think of how many people are on each planet, how many planets there are. The Empire is limitless, but it draws on those planets. Living during that time was probably litteraly a depressing affair with him alive. The people who rebelled are the ones for various reasons to have stronger willpower, or perhaps he wasn't omipitent enough to get everyone under his influence. Not to mention there ar eother emotions, he was a tyrant that killed many innocents. It's possible to shake his influence off. Oh the wars and stuff was only because of his corrupt system which was biased against non humans and encouraged internal politics to backstab each other. He didn't want anyone to come after him, so his own lessons backfired once he was gone. He created a litteral cult of personality. Despite hsi vast powers, he can't mind read the entire galaxy. So hunting for them would have to be done in person. Given his advanced age, it would take perhaps hundreds of years to visit every planet. Even for just a second. Not exactly efficient. Star Wars galaxy is gigantic.

But they are dead. All but Luke Skywalker, and I doubt even he could take on a whole Galaxy of pissed off storm troopers.

The republic slowly did come back after he was killed. It was almost destroyed several times, but in the end they managed to secure victory. Its too many countless tales, books, and comics for me to go into detail. but the sheer volume of litterature form that era assures me a great deal of people worked to bring it back. Not just spring back magically, like you say. A two hour movie is only so long, we can't follow series upon series of characters all doing things adding up to the collapse of the Empire. Would litteraly be an eternity worth of stories, by any human standards. When I say the Star Wars fandom is huge, I mean it.

Thrawn tried that from memory, and Luke restarted a Jedi academy.

Shame. Though I loved the old skool Clone Wars series, that 2-dish series was awesome. I don't like the new one at all. Can't say I am surprised with Lucas' reaction, though he never should have made episode I the way it was, the only good part of espisode II was the actual clone war, and I liked episode III. The original trilogy was incredble.


But why make a 5th Indiana Jones movie?
