As a fan of the Star Wars franchise, I was excited as anyone when I heard that all six movies were being converted into 3D, not for the 3D aspect of it, just because it was a chance to see Star Wars in the cinema.
There are many debates over which Star Wars film is the worst, normally it comes down to either The Phantom Menace or Attack of the Clones, so we have to wait until 2014 until we see a decent one.
Nonetheless, I was interested to see what Lucas was going to do with it. Thank god he replaced the creepy Yoda doll! There were a few other minor changes that aren't really important. I was most interested to see the 3D on the Pod Racing Sequence and the final lightsaber and space battle. The 3D was nothing special, whilst up close faces looked really good, things in the distant just appeared blurry and as for the Pod Racing and space battles, the looked good during the scenes that are from a first persons perspective, the rest of the time there's no real difference. Even one of the best choreographer lightsaber battles was nothing dazzling.
Star Wars in 3D is a con, Lucas knows that no matter what he does to the sagas, people will pay to go and see them. I'm a victim of this con, because I know for a fact that I will be going to see all six movies, and then there's no doubt that at the end of each year, each film will be released on 3D Blu-Ray, and then after six years there will be the 3D Blu-Ray box set, that will cost a fortune, and again, people will buy it. Even the 'special edition 3D glasses' were rubbish!
