Lucas to release Star Wars in 3D

As already spoofed by NArse earlier, the sci-fi saga in 3D will begin with the release of the 1999 prequel Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, with the remaining films following in sequence.  A statement from Lucasfilm, the US director's film production company, on the Star Wars website said:

"The live-action Star Wars saga will be converted to 3D.  There are few movies that lend themselves more perfectly to 3D; from the Death Star trench run to the Tatooine Pod race, the Star Wars Saga has always delivered an entertainment experience that is completely immersive.

The cutting edge conversion will take that immersion to the next thrilling level."

In other words, give us your money and no doubt this will all be in the shops ready for Christmas.
