So it took a whole 10 posts to get to the standard Cash Cow/Money Grabbing/Rape my children etc crap you always get when some thing happens with Star Wars.

Well why else is the movie being put into 3D but to make money? Will it make the story better? Will it make the characters better?

And anyways - never trust somone who has a name which included "jedi" or "darth" - they are not to be trusted on matters releating to the Star of Wars

Because 3D is the big fad now (myself ain't bothered about it rather watch a 2D film) plus there have been countless Evil Dead re-issues, and Bladerunner been done about 5 or 6 times, also I see Harry Potter films being redone and then withdrawn to no doubt comeback in a couple of years with more new bits in but no-one goes on about these being rip-offs, just also George Lucas because it's the thing to do.

Yeah, this doesn't really bother me. Companies do it all the time. Will be interesting to see how well it does.

Very tempted to check this out. The excitement surrounding PM's release is still a feeling I remember fondly. It may not have lived up to expectations, but it has some great stuff in there - love the climactic lightsaber fight, the podrace, Darth Maul, Qui-Gonn. Star Wars in 3D is a very persuasive concept, and if this is successful hopefully it will lead to the original trilogy in 3D which is a tantalising prospect.

I'm really looking forward to this. I'm hopeful the conversions will be well-done, as they have been in gestation of years. I've also been encouraged by previous comments by Lucas about his view of what makes good use of 3D (more to increase depth of field than just to make pointy things fly out the screen, to paraphrase).

Haters gonna hate. 'the only reason he's releasing it again is to make money' Yeah, well done Sherlocks, that's why 99% of films get made in the first place.

There's a rumour going round that Lucas has made some re-edits to Phantom Menace, a la "Gredo shoots first". Apparently the first half of the movie is taken up with Jar Jar Binks being slowly lowered into the Pit of Kancun, home of the all powerful Sarlack. Profits are expected to be through the roof...

Even though I hate this film with passion surpassed only by Indy 4 [that fridge!!!!] and Simpsons the Movie [No Mr Burns????] I know deep down that I will probably end up going to see it. It can't be as bad as I remember it. Can it?

what if i take in ear plugs and judiciously nip to the pub whenever, Anakin, Jar Jar, Obi Wan, Padme oh hell anyone other than Darth Maul is on screen? It might be ok. Mightn't it?

So you'll be there for the opening crawl and the next hour and a half in the pub, then back for the last 25 minutes? Sounds like a good idea.

The only best bit of Phantom Menace was the final lightsaber duel between Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Darth Maul. Still Menace is no where near as bad as Attack of the Clones a film so bad I have never seen it again.

But they were made in "The Golden Age" of cinema and are therefore immune to any criticism.

Don't you know anything?

It is also being released in certain cinemas in 2D as well for some reason.

:) there's willingly having one's belief suspended and then there is having urine extracted on a truly egregious level. The difference is style, elegance, wit. And an absence of fridges :D

Surviving a nuclear blast in a fridge was far more convincing than Blanchette's accent, lets be honest.

They played this trailer tonight at the cinema and you could literally hear the audience groan when "TPM In 3D" logo shot up onscreen.

I think it was mainly us Spalds! I remember having a small rant and I think the word I used whilst viewing this ad was "sacrilege".

You'll burn for this Lucas!
