Nothing To Do With The Skywalkers We all have heard that Uncle George is going to release the Star Wars films in 3D staring in 2012. IESB has heard a rumor from a flying Mynock.

Each conversion takes at least a year to complete, with Lucas personally overseeing the process to make sure each one is as perfected as possible. Lucas has said that the “ Avatar ” experience convinced him that “Star Wars” was ready for the state-of-the-art 3D treatment. Also pushing the timetable is a potential b
