| Film - Star Wars 3D News |
| Reported By - Dean - 20:43:20 (GMT) |
filmforce.ign.com has some news on converting all six Star Wars films to 3D.
George Lucas is forging ahead with the painstaking process of adapting all six Star Wars films to a three-dimensional format. According to various reports, the films could be ready for re-release in 3-D within two or three years. According to earlier comments made by George Lucas, a one-film-per-year schedule would also be a possibility, allowing more time to convert the traditionally-filmed original trilogy.

| Play - Star Wars: Empire at War Q&A |
| Reported By - Dean - 13:28:58 (GMT) |
Gamespot.com have a Q&A session with design director Joe Bostic of the real-time strategy game Star Wars: Empire at War.
The Star Wars film saga may now be over with the release of Episode III, but that doesn't mean an end to science fiction's greatest franchise, as creator George Lucas plans to push ahead on other fronts, including gaming. Star Wars: Empire at War is an example of that push. This upcoming real-time strategy game will let you take control of the Galactic Empire or the Rebel Alliance (as seen in the original movie trilogy) and battle it out for control of the galaxy.

| Lucas Opens New HQ |

George is moving his empire...
A new complex that will house most of "Star Wars" creator George Lucas' empire could be the entertainment industry's most sophisticated digital arts and entertainment center - complete with a stone fountain of Jedi master Yoda at the front door.
Lucasfilm Ltd. on Saturday celebrated the move of the company - and most of its work force - to the Letterman Digital Arts Center. But Lucas said he'll likely keep away from the center and instead focus on developing a final "Indiana Jones" film and smaller film projects.
"In terms of being a corporate executive, I'm pretty much tired," he said. "I'm going to focus on making movies." Full Report... |
