South Park, Season 12, Episode 8, "The China Problem", hit the nail on the head with Lucas. The only saving grace of all of this would be Natalie Portman in 3D...
Seriously, and I don't want to spark a huge debate or anything, this trio of movies should be left alone. Good, bad or indifferent, they are what they are, and barring a massive rewrite to fix the known issues, should be left alone.
Personally, I thought that they were OK. Not great, not good, just OK, as a whole. But what's done is done, and what's being done is... well... being done.
*HOWEVER*
I would not mind seeing The Trilogy (there is only
one trilogy) in 3D. Princess Leia in a gold bikini in 3D? Nice. Entire Death Star II fight sequence in 3D? The Battle of Hoth? Death Star trench scene? Yeah I would love to see all of that in 3D.
But for either the trio or The Trilogy to stand the test of time, Lucas needs to figure out how to leave the movies alone. Instead of redoing them every so often, why not release a post-
Jedi trio based out of some of the books? Then he could do anything he wanted with a more or less clean slate, including 3D, and be done with it.
Its like when you bake a cake, then put icing on it - there comes a point where the more you fiddle with the icing the more it looks less than perfect. Lucas just needs to eat his cake already. Looked just fine when it came out of the oven in '77, '80, and '83.
