so i was on one ring.net today and after clicking a lick i noticed this story in a secound link and thought i would share and see what yall thought of it.

I heard rumors of this a few months ago.  I officially will hate George Lucas if he sells out any more.  However, I will still love him for the original trilogy and the best movies ever made.

 

That said, both trilogies have the potential to be the best 3D movies to date...if they're done correctly. 

 

Hey Krak, do you really think they will be done justice?

 

Of course not little one, the 3D will just f*** up the beauty of the originals...unless more than a few months are spent on the conversion process.

 

But Krak, as an avid Star Wars and LotR fan, won't you be wanting to see them?

 

Unfortunately, being the giant nerd that I am, I will be forced, against my better nature, to view them in 3D.

 

But Krak, won't that make you a hypocrite?

 

Absolutely young padawan, but I can't resist the power of the darkside...I must obey my nerdmaster

Meh, I hated the first clean-up they did with Star Wars. Do not fix what is not broken.

Worst 'fix-up' of all time = adding Hayden Christianson as Anakin's ghost at the end of RotJ.

 

I'm still pissed about that one.

I was raised on Star Wars and so my dad my lil' brother, my lil' sister and I will probably see them all based almost stircly on a loyalty to my dad lol. I myself find it extreme selloutish and really wish he would just do something new with the universe. He has complete creative control and there are just so many things he could do with it and it's extremely disappointing to me that he doesn't.

Amazon.com have posted up an entry for the Blu-ray release of the extended editions of "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy.

 

Though there's some ugly cover art and a pretty good trailer, no date for the release is specified other than a generic 2011/2012 one. The price is currently set at $84.

 

There's nothing really in the way of new features, but all the previous special features from the DVDs will be ported over to the Blu-ray release. All three films will boast 1080p video and DTS HD-MA 5.1 audio transfers.

 

The packaging calls this a 'Limited' extended edition. No word if that means only a certain number of copies, or more likely the set will only be available for a certain amount of time before being pulled from the shelves - much like Disney does with its animated releases.

 

Could you imagine the opening battle of ep 3 in 3d?

 

Hoth?

 

Trench Run?

 

Trench Run part 2?

 

 

There are some kickass sequences in there, but no doubt it will turn out crappy like every other conversion job.

Let's not forget Obi-Wan vs. Jango Fett Space Battle in Episode 2.

The sounds that the Slave 1 makes with its rapid firing turbolasers and those depth charge bomb thingo's was enough to set me off last time I saw it. In 3d to go with it? It might just be the height of far-too-muchery.

yeah dude...that depth charge bomb (or concussion missile as we nerds call it) was insane in theatres, I can't wait to see how it looks/sounds on my blu-ray/big screen

THATS a concussion missile?

 

I thought Concussion Missles were red? X-Wing vs Tie Fighter lied to me!

Oh no, I just realized I got that wrong. That depth-charge thing wasn't a concussion missile. And those other missiles her shot were proton torpedoes (or earlier versions)

Did I just win at Star Wars?

 

:D

 

(The real answer is, -everyone- wins at Star Wars)

Whatever man, as long as you aren't a trekkie

Too far, dude. Too far.

 

Also, hilarious reference.

 

The sabre fight at the end of ep3 would be pretty nifty. Lava and whatnot flying around...

 

 

Actually whilst it's a complete sell out, cash cow etc, I officially don't care. There is too much awesome potential to be cynical about it. Let the indie kids and hipsters whinge, I'm just a sucker for the Star Wars brand of kick ass.
