Star Wars in 3D

[Lusche]

Wiley and Tmetal. Exactly.
I can see it working with gaming. Particulary with touch screen technology which Im surprised isnt being used more.. Particularly for flight sims.
I just dont see 3-D working on movies for very long.

Yes the budgets are upped. But so were they back in the 50s and again in the 70s (Remember Jaws 3-d)

Soon enough it will fade away on its own. Of that I have no doubt

good article here on why 3-D doesnt work and never will

This article reminds me of those people telling me that track ir doesn't work, because the different ratios of movement of your real head and your virtual one will cause disorientation, dizziness & nausea. 
(And 600 million years of evolution didn't prepare me for a track ir either...  )

The 3D fad of the 70's was very limited. A few movies (with high press coverage) and that was about it. This time is a much larger scale of utilization.
"My" multiplex over here is showing 3D movies  for 2 1/2 years now. Unless it's a film with  horrendously slapped on 3d effects in post edit only, they invariably have more attendance than the 2D versions.

On a personal note, I can't stand that 3D stuff at all. But maybe I would had been one of those folks refusing to watch these new "talkie" movies 80 years ago 

Of course. I don't know where it's going to end up - But I do know the current 3D "fad" is very much different from all the past ones.

allmost of the new games have build in 3d option, u can use shutter or polarized technique. It works great, i have a poli 3D TV, i preffer this to the outdated 3D shutter technology.
With iZ3D or TRIDEF driver you can play allmost all games in 3D.
And one thing about converting 2D movies into 3D, this is a hughe task, it takes ALOT time to get a nice 3D.
I started this year converting 2D Photos into 3D with good results and now i'm into 2D Movies to 3D, this is very time consuming, but the result can be really great, allmost as if you where
back again in the scene. Georg Lucas have the manpower and time and $ to convert it correct, its called 2.5D. James Cameron converting Titanic too, i doubt you will recognize its 2.5D,
i'm sure it will look superb. I'm really happy they converting classics, its such a difference to watch them with depth.

Lucas had the time, money and manpower to make the prequels not suck. We all know how THAT turned out.
