Apparently the newer trilogy is no problem since most of it is digial (all in the case of EP 2&3), but the original trilogy was posing problems with the way it was filmed. Hence the all cgi re-do idea. But this is all way in the future anyway. There is a trailer done showing at various 3d expos for Ep. 4 though.
I must have missed that. I don't subsribe to the SW insider, but I do check it out when a new issue hits, just to see what Lucasfilm news there is. It seems like that when the whole 3-D issue is brought up, McCallum says that there aren't enough digital screens to make it happen. As far as the whole OT-CGI re-do, I haven't heard anything about that. Would that mean that they would have to CGI all 3 films -actors included, or just the effects work?

Does that mean everyone else is giving up on the 2-D/3-D thing? Cameron, Zemeckis and Robert Rodriguez where alongside Lucas trying to make this happen.
