This is mostly just a short rambling post reacting to a bit of news. Not interested in that? Take your consolation prize of another Star Wars motivational poster type thing spliced together by me.
Star Wars Motivational Poster #5

I'll try to work up something more interesting next time. Maybe I'll argue how cloning is a crime against dolphins.

No I'm not talking about the theoretical Star Wars 3D re-release in 2007...

I'm talking about Star Wars: the Live Action Series.

Thanks to Leah for informing me of the TIME article that brought up this bit of shock.

R.C.Do you think audiences are so technically sophisticated now that they know the difference between formats?

George Lucas: .... When you see a 3D movie, you assume it's a higher-quality movie and it's something you don't see on television. Now the television show I'm working on, the Star Wars television show, is 3D.

Some Star Wars TV news?!
From the Flannelled One himself?!

Then again... Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself?

Maybe he just means "I'll be working on Clone Wars 3D"
Or "Star Wars TV will have lots of CGI animation"

It's too bad I wasn't at the interview and TIME wasn't smart like me and would have decided to ask a follow up question for clarification...

Oh wait. They did.

R.C.When you said you were going to do Star Wars in 3D, do you mean in the old-fashioned 3D?

George Lucas: Yeah, with glasses and everything.

Wow. I have no idea if I'm very very scared or very interested... Probably both. I've never liked 3D films, they hurt your eyes after awhile. What is George thinking?!? He's completely out of touch with his audience he has no idea what he's do...

George Lucas: I was very much against 3D until I saw this new process and said, hey, this actually works in a way that it should work, which is it doesn't call attention to itself, you forget that you're watching in 3D, it's just a nicer process.

Blast it George! It's very hard to start bashing you for Jar Jar or Greedo shooting first if you keep interrupting me!

So I admit, I'm scared by the TV show the same way I was scared by the Prequels and their announcement of using CGI so extensively. I still don't love the style of throwing an actor into a greenscreen room and yelling "Faster and more intense!"... But it looked far better than I expected. So I'm going to give George the benefit of the doubt here and assume it's going to look nice and not make me want to rip my eyes out of their sockets.

I just hope they aren't going to charge $50 for 3D glasses that don't slip off of your nose.
