• I think you took that statement far too seriously, Lucas is a cool guy.

• Well said. Akiva Goldsman is also the man who "wrote" Batman & Robin. But Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created Darth Vader. They called him Doctor Doom first.

• Why? Why "death to Lucas?" He created one of the most well-loved fantasy/scifi worlds in the whole of human history thus far. He gave us those characters, and their universe, and you want him dead? - What did he do to deserve death? Jar-Jar Binks? Really? That's enough reason to kill a man in your book? Even the entirety of TPM isn't worth murder, Jake Lloyd's acting included. It's especially unbalanced when you consider that Lucas invented Darth Vader. Lucas invented Luke Skywalker. Lucas invented Jedi. Lucas invented everything you people profess to enjoy, and yet you bitch about how he writes his creations because you've lost touch with your own childhood and can't look past the stilted dialogue, cheesy characters, and blatant disregard for physics as an adult... Even though those things were ALWAYS part of Star Wars. - I'd prefer George Lucas continue to live. I'm grateful to him for providing hours of entertainment, and making my youth a little more fun. I'm grateful to him for giving me a geeky-fun thing to watch in the form of The Clone Wars. I'm grateful to him for fleshing out the story with the prequels, and unlike so many others, I am not mad at him for not making it as badass as I imagined it would be when I was 10 years old, nor am I mad because Star Wars didn't get sophisticated or gritty now that I'm an adult. Lucas just did what he always does: Create a fantasy world based on things he admires and enjoys. I'd like him to keep doing that. - If you're going to wish death on anyone, why not someone who has done damage to OTHER PEOPLE'S WRITING? Like Akiva Goldsman, for instance? Here's a guy who managed to make Batman lame, and who turned "I Am Legend" into a snoozy borefest with a HAPPY ENDING where Neville isn't the last man on Earth after all! Akiva Goldsman is far more guilty of bad writing than George Lucas ever will be. George Lucas works with his own characters, and thus can do whatever the fuck he wants to do with them. Akiva Goldsman bastardizes classic literature like "I, Robot" with every keystroke. He's a bastard. - Even so, I don't wish death upon him. I would, however, love for Akiva Goldsman to develop a deep need to disappear from civilization and NEVER WRITE AGAIN. That would be cool.

• Avawhore? AvaTits?

• You gotta GET IN THAT ASS Larry!

• Why all the Lucas hate? Yes, Star Wars was a great movie in 1977 and continues to be a great movie. But the point is this: it's time that Lucas moved on. Why does he have to keep going back and "fiddling" with the original Star Wars? Why not take his ideas and technology and make new movies? Oh, right, because Episodes I-III weren't as loved as the original Star Wars. Lucas is probably thinking, "Why risk spending all that time and money on a new movie when Star Wars has a built-in audience that will see it again and again just for the 5 seconds of new FX footage". Then Avatar comes along and proves people *will* see a brand-new movie that has nothing to do with Star Wars or Aliens or another franchise. And how exactly is Lucas going to take a 2d movie and make it 3d? Don't 3d movies have to be shot with stereoscopic cameras to get the 3d effect to look right? Like the other posters say, will Star Wars look like a comic-book cutout? Sure, the 3d effect will make it look like Luke is standing in front of the building, but his nose and clothing will be flat.

• Wow the second part of that sentence sounds awkward. What I meant to say was "something stupid that is related to the film". Oh, and DEATH TO LUCAS.

• I'll admit Avatar isn't a good movie (I and others may enjoy it, but it isn't deserving of high praise), but is it really necessary to have a feature on something stupid related to the movie each and every week? It's getting pretty tiresome.

• Well, if the 3D is implemented as well as Avatar, I would actually love to see Star Wars in 3D.

• Well, that certainly sounds like a porno plot, but what's the target audience?

• Yeah. Sometimes, I, too, like to fuck things

• This is... wow...

• I agree with Capsulesn'Coffee. All the same movie bashing is just laziness and attempts at filling the blog IMHO. Move on Rob. Find something new or interesting to comment on.

• All of those names are better. "This ain't..." is just lazy. Why am I surprised at the lack of creativity in porn versions of movies? I have no idea.

• I'm super skeptical about the whole home 3D thing that's been buzzing lately. The new digital 3D tech is better and more convincing than the old stuff, but it's still an illusion (duh) and it suffers greatly when a viewer is picking up actual 3D objects in his main field of view or peripheral vision. That's why 3D is so much better on an IMAX screen. Even the bigger HDTVs aren't going to fill a viewer's field of view sufficiently to make the illusion of 3D sustainably convincing.

• One: fuck James Cameron. Two: Fuck George Lucas

• Amen to that

• So...people are complaining that there's a chance that we'll see Princess Leia in a Gold Bikini™ in high-resolution 3D? And possibly, one day, in our own homes, if the technology plays out? I swear, for a demographic of immature social misfit technophiles, it seems like a LOT of us were never 13. ( ;D Y'all know I love ya, right? I swear it on my Alan Dean Foster novelizations.)

• yes

• Is it weird that I haven't even seen Avatar yet?

• It's considerably more irritating when people like you take it as a personal insult when someone doesn't like shitty news about a shitty movie you liked for some reason even though you admit it's shitty.

• That's just taking the lazy way out. A good porn title should be an awful pun like "Romancing the Bone" or "Star Whores." Something like "Depravatar" or "Avatart" or "Dances With Furries."

• "star wars" were pretty much the only movie's George made that were watchable. Try sitting through "THX 1138" or the Lucas produced "Howard the Duck" if you need proof.

• Avatar porn? Most porn companies don't have $250,000,000 to spend on high-end CGI, so we'll either see CGI of a quality that would have been deleted at the REBOOT studio, or a lot of skinny porn stars in blue pancake makeup. Either way, this will be (by my estimation), either the 3rd or 4th sign of the Apocalypse (the jury's still out on whether Obama's Nobel Peace Prize still counts as #3).

• As I said in my entry in the casting contest, Avatar was a shitfest. Though, I do find it highly amusing that now when people want to release porn of franchises, they just put This Ain't at the front and XXX at the back. Keep up the great ways to avoid plagarism suits, porn peoples.

• I agree with coffee...Shut the fuck up already rob.

• Seriously Rob, this shit is getting old; for the last three or four months you've been posting and bitching about every fucking Avatar article or news piece you've come across. Yah we know its not great sci-fi, but quite a few people(including myself) enjoyed it, want to take us down a couple notches, fine, just move on already and finish this epic three month jack off session.christ, how much self gratification does one man need?

• Curb Your Enthusiasm? Are they gonna bring Randy West in for that?

• According to the AV Club This Ain't Avatar XXX is being released along side This Ain't: CSI, The Hills, Glee, I Dream of Genie, The Cable News (huh?), Curb Your Enthusiasm (wuh?), and The Soup (guh?).

• The real question is what did Clint Howard ever do to you?

• It's coming right at us!

• Is that why Lucas was glaring at James Cameron at the Golden Globes all night?

• an Avatar porn proves that Avatar knows no stopping. espically if some one thinks it will be cool to have the smurf love children do a sex tape. as for star wars three d. george Lucas camp when the talk first started said no plans. though given the success and that George can not seem to let the franchise finaly sleep no doubt 3 d versions could happen jar jar binks in three d the world will truely be mad.

• Exactly right. Lucas should know that the technology that created Avatar does not apply to reprocessing old movies. Avatar was shot for 3D, using stereoscopic cameras. As well as stereoscopic rendered of the CG sequences and elements. To turn the 2D Star Wars footage they would have to cut up certain elements and make them different planes at different depths. It would sort of have a diorama effect to it. Kind of like old 3D comic books. They could get a similar quality of 3D for any of the non-actor shots by completely recreating all of the special effects and rendering them stereoscopically, but then we really are looking at Special Editions 2!

• That picture would further ruin my life if it hadn't already been ruined by the last bout of FFF's... WHY MUST THE WORLD BE SO CRUEL?

• "Are they just gonna dip a few skanks in blue paint?!" You say that like its a bad thing...

• Star Wars don't have been shot in 3D. Avatar don't prove at all that the technology which upscale 2D to 3D is ready.

• We all know that George Lucas is not just going to transfer what he has now. He's going to change it again. He'll add in a scene of Darth Vader playing with a paddle-ball or some shit. The simple fact is George Lucas believes that good visual effects are what truly make a movie good, and as no concept of less is more. You know how in the Special Edition Mos Eisley is now full of idiotic hijinks? Think of what he'll do now. Now that fucking dinosaur will take up the screen for four seconds in 3-D! Fucking Lucas. I own the 1994 versions of the Original Trilogy on VHS. Han shoots first, the ewoks sing Yub-Nub, and hayden Christensen is nowhere to be seen. That's the true trilogy.

• Why thank you.

• we're pissed off because he won't re-release the original trilogy in 3d as the OP joked. Instead, he will reMAKE the original trilogy with a child Luke, Jar Jar Binks as a senator, more poop jokes/minute of film, more explosions and chaos. In short, he will completely junk the original trilogy, using all his 'fancy' in-house developed CG, forgoing the authentic rust and age of the old models, much MUCH worse than anything he changed to make the special editions...

• Man, I KNEW it! I KNEW Lucas was gonna end up re-re-re-releasing them in 3D. It wasn't an 'if' it was a 'when'. Of course we're ALL gonna go see them anyway..... Also, how the hell is Hustler gonna pull off an Avatar porno? Are they just gonna dip a few skanks in blue paint?!

• "Put the fucking glasses on!"

• Why all the George Lucas hate? I mean the idea of the original trilogy in 3d is the best thing he's come up with since...well, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Seriously, are we pissed off that he's going to make money off this? Or that he's touching the movies in general? I think the concept of them being sacred was shattered with the special edition. Now, that being said, can Lucas pull it off? I'm not sure. For all we know he'll just layer more cgi monsters in front of everything and have them "pop" out of the screen at us. But I'm willing to take that risk to see the Trench Run from A New Hope, the Asteroid Field from Empire, and the attack on the Death Star from Return of the Jedi in 3D.

• The best George Lucas defense is a good offense. I say 3D THEY LIVE! Should kill 3D once and for all.

• why the hell can't george lucas just make some other, new movie in 3d??? why can't he keep his clammy paws off of the freaking trilogy? dammit. what's next, asshole? a fucking hologram 3d movie where everyone is actually in star wars? i am so mad right now. just make a new fucking movie!

• Clint looks like he's been into the tronya. I would be too if someone used my pic to cover up some furrie's nasties.

• brilliant

• I'm starting to wonder if dear ol' Lucas gets turned on by pissing off fanboys.

• Oh god, Avatar porn?! WHOSE RESPONSIBLE THIS? DX If they're going to draw furry porn they should at least make the art look good. B( They look like a bunch of furry blue fish people in that image.

• HAN SHOT IN 2-D!

• <i>"...it's believed Avatar's 3-D visuals overstimulating his brain and caused it to hemorrhage"</i> This is Edison Carter, answering the questions other people are afraid to ask. What I want to know is this: Are we sure he died watching <b>Avatar</b>, and not the pre-movie blipvert for ZikZak?

• 3 things.... 1)The male looks like the kangaroo people from warriors of virtue/tank girl. You know what im talking about. 2)He looks pretty damn bored. 3) thank god the hair-tentacles werent involved.

• Eventually, all the Star Wars movies will have been edited into a ten hour CGI George Lucas giving us the finger....in 3D!

• AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! I think you may have just made my brain go 'splodey. I'm not a big fan of porn to begin with;it's just sex that I'm not having...but FURRY porn?! And in 3-D?!?! Somebody shoot me.

• Now, granted, I've yet to see Avatar yet (yeah yeah, I know), but personally the idea of watching the asteroid scene from Empire in 3D... uh, yeah, I could be REALLY happy with that.

• Great, now I'm going to have that picture stuck in my head for the rest of the day, thanks a lot Rob!

• I shutter to think!

• Dammit George... NO! No! No!

• But will "This Ain't Avatar XXX" be in 3D?
