Star Wars in 3D

With 3D taking over the movie industry, it is no surprise that George Lucas has joined in on the excitement. While 3D can be seen as a visual treat, sometimes it begs the question of whether or not it is even worth it.

Fox recently announced that "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace" will be the first of the saga to get the 3D makeover. Lucas plans to release all of the films in years to follow.

Hearing the "Star Wars" saga will be adapted to 3D and re-released does not come as a great surprise. However, choosing to go in order from beginning to end, as well as choosing to focus on the one film that received the most criticism out of any of the saga's episodes, seems to be a risky move for Lucas.

As a blogger wrote on Sci-fi Now's website: "Star Wars Episode I in 3D--because we didn't all complain enough when it was in two dimensions."

Whether or not it will generate new fans or revive the excitement for the saga can only be seen when it is released.
