News from our friends over at Electricspectre of something that might just -just-make the Star Wars prequel trilogy palatable: 3D!
FUN FACT: Did you know that in Phantom Menace most of the shots of Yoda were a puppet? Don’t worry though, those shots were re-done in CG for the new trilogy re-release. Yup.
On an unrelated note, Star Wars fans must once again brace for impact, as according to an interview with Access Hollywood (and received by ‘leccyspectre via Pocket Lint) Lucas has been inspired by Avatar to give Star Wars a three dimensional make-over.
“We’ve been looking for years and years and years of trying to take ‘Star Wars’ and put it in 3-D,” George explained to Access. “But, [the] technology hasn’t been there. We’ve been struggling with it, but I think this will be a new impetus to make that happen.”
Star Wars in 3D would be pretty sweet. However, many fans will be concerned that Lucas decides to do a little bit of extra tampering “whilst we’re here, y’know” and gives Boba Fett a supersoaker or something.
Thoughts?
Studios have a hard-on for that non-pirateable third dimension right now, so it’s only right that the mac daddy of merchandising gets the treatment, and if beirdy overlord Lucas says it-it’s the law – STS is looking forward to ducking flying Gungans soon…
