PT Scenes I Can't Wait To See In 3D

The Podrace, TPM

If they hadn't come up with already more than a decade ago, somebody would have come up with something similar now just for the opportunities it offers for 3D. You've got great first-person perspectives, flying debris, and explosions. If you can make it feel like you're right there in the middle of it, you've got a winner.

Senate Shenanigans, TPM

Seeing those pods floating around you in an IMAX would make you feel like you're really there.

Obi-Wan/Qui-Gon/Darth Maul Duel, TPM

A great scene that can only be better in 3D, especially with the rotating power beam gates, the lightsabers, and Maul coming apart.

Opening Sequence, AOTC

I've always loved the opening sequence of AOTC, with the ship flying upside down into Coruscant's fog. I think it will be even more effective in 3D.

Any Scene On Naboo, AOTC

Sure, action sequences look amazing in 3D, but I think it can also accentuate the beautiful scenery on Padmé's homeworld.

Asteroid Chase, AOTC

Asteroids and sonic waves coming right for ya!

Geonosis Battle, AOTC

Another sequence someone would have invented for 3D if they hadn't done it already. It's got flying creatures, explosions, lightsabers, monsters, flying ships, and to end it all, Yoda's famous battle with Dooku.

Opening Battle, ROTS

My second-favorite opening scene in the saga is already impressive as you dodge in and around the battle above Coruscant. It will be mind-blowing in 3D. And I can't wait to see that crash-landing ship coming right at the screen. They were probably already thinking, "This will look so cool once we convert it to 3D"."

Anakin vs. Obi-Wan/Yoda vs. Sidious, ROTS

The epicness of it all will be even more so with Senate pods getting thrown at you and volcanic "lava" exploding off the screen. Just you wait until Anakin gets bbq-ed right in your face!

Vader's Masking, ROTS

I agree with Bryan Morton on this one; if ILM pulls it off you'll be able to experience the claustrophobia of having a big old mask lowered over your face.

Imperial Trilogy Scenes I Can't Wait To See In 3D

Star Destroyer Flyover, ANH

Probably the greatest opening scene in the history of modern cinema, this will blow minds all over again rendered in glorious 3D.

Hyperspace, ANH

People will be gripping their chairs as the whole theater will be shot into hyperspace for the first time.

Death Star Trench Run, ANH

It'll feel like you're right there with Luke and Artoo. Bonus points for the Death Star 'splosion.

The Battle of Hoth, TESB

When I first saw TESB in 70mm back in 1980, the first-person snowspeeder shots made me queasy. I'd better take some Dramamine to see them again in 3D. The AT-ATs will look amazing coming toward the Rebel base.

Asteroid Chase, TESB

More asteroids coming right at ya!

Fly Thru Cloud City, TESB

The re-worked intro to the scene where you see Leia pacing around on Cloud City was a nice addition to TESB and it will be even better in 3D.

Speeder Bike Chase, ROTJ

Probably one of the scenes overall I'm looking forward to seeing in 3D the most. Especially with branches and stuff hanging in your face.

Death Star II Space Battle, ROTJ

This scene for my money still holds up very well for a film made almost 28 years ago and I think it will translate beautifully to 3D. Besides, who else is anxious to see a 3D Admiral Ackbar?

Endor Battle, ROTJ

The only thing that warms the cockles of my heart more than Jar Jar in 3D is seeing lots and lots of Ewoks in 3D pwning the Empire. Ha ha. Especially the part where the two logs swing and crush that AT-ST.
