    Take offensive action! It’s a trap! Oh never mind. The right people aren’t listening. Star Wars is going 3D and short of a glorious asteroid crashing into Earth, there’s not a damn thing we can do about it. The plan is to release one film a year in 3D starting with Episode One on February 10, 2012. This chronological order will retell the story in proper timeline order while at the same time giving Lucas a potential escape pod just in case the 3D fad dies before it’s time to release A New Hope in the gimmick that is 3D. Please let the Mayans be right.
