This is probably the place Neptune came from:
http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Star-Wars-3D-Conversion/topic/12312/
The 2d-3d conversions sorta work. But are not a good representation of the technology, according to the members there.
Gah, how did I miss that the first time around? That's what I get for not hanging around enough of the other forums, I guess.
Well, so I'm late to the news desk. I'm planning a Fall 2011 3D upgrade to my home theatre so I won't be able to enjoy them in full quality until then (if things go according to plan). I'm 90% sure you can download them now (as I am doing) and use stereoscopic player to convert them in real time to red/blue anaglyph.
I think there's at least 4 bands in the qualityscale for 3D:
- On the fly converted by your tv
- Converted by an amateur at home with better quality than "on the fly"
- Converted by a professional studio
- Shot in 3D (4reelz)
So, I'm not assuming these will be a 3 or a 4 on that scale. But I'm guessing it's better than a 1, and given that the "real" #3 will be done by Lucasfilm in 2015, I'm not sure that these still won't be better.
Now just to convince Neptune to do it all over again for SW:Revisited and Adywan's pending SW Theatrical reconstruction.
