Is there any way we could get the Star Wars prequels in 3D? Because they were never released on 3D Blu-Ray

Unless there is an official release I won’t hold out much hope until Glassless 3D becomes a thing and re-ignites 3D again. (which it will if it works) – I don’t think the Prequels outside of the 1st one ever got a 3D release and the first was only one the big screen so I don’t think anyone has the elements to recreate that at home.

I’d love to see them too!

There is a new (well new to me) version of the F13 3D out that is razor dang sharp. A ton of the misaligned 3D and shots that go flat are fixed. It’s pretty much amazing. Close as we’ll get to a real release by Paramount. It’s out there folks, just go hunting.

Thanks. Found it and this is new and the real deal. I hope to find out more. It has the title card reminding you the opening moments are not in 3D. This is a new transfer and someone did a loving job with it. If I didn’t know better I’d say it was from inside the studio. It even has a 5.1 mix.

I’m so happy you found it, its pretty incredible isn’t it. I’d love to shake the hand of whoever put it together. I’d also love to help them do it with other silver age 3D films. I’d love seeing SPACEHUNTER, MAN WHO WASN’T THERE and a few of those low budget ones from North carolina (can’t remember their names outside of ROTTWEILER)

I did run across a pretty cool SBS of Spacehunter on a Russian tracker that looked like a left eye from a Blue ray and the Left from the old Field Sequential Japanese VHD. Oddly it looked pretty dang good, sadly it had Russian only audio but it was still fun to finally see it in somewhat decent 3D. (It’s amazing that someone went out and spent the time finding different sides to place together. Might be the only way we see a lot of the classics from here on.

A 3D film im dying to see again is Encounter in the Third Dimension An imax film from 1999. I recall watching this as preteen back in the day on a full size imax screen and it blowing me away. Since then I’ve been able to identify it on one of two 3D DVD formats, the superior of which is simply impossible to find. I also believe It was broadcast in HD 3DTV back in the days where that was a thing. I’d simply love to get a HD SBS version of this in HD.

I used to own this back in the dvd days, it came with a package of two other 3D movies in the field sequential format with ‘plug in’ glasses to sync. (which I think can only be played on tube tv’s???) But I remember the 3D was incredible. I know of a place called C&L internet club (canada based Blu-ray/DVD dealer) had one somewhat recently.

It’s a cool little item thats for sure, I remember Elvira really popped out in 3-Dimensions if you know what I mean. lol.

I just found out this even existed-- I heard it is a vastly different film.

other workprints I am dying to see are-- Tango And Cash & The Last Boy Scout (which apperantly is radically different)

I for one would love to help in this preservation, if there is anything needed please inform me. I’m a huge 80’s 3D fan and have am dying to see this cleaned up further. (I have the .MKV of Friday 3D and it is magnificent but could be even more amazing. I’d love to see Spacehunter cleaned up as well. I found a Russian side by side that had the new Blu-Ray on one side and the half of the old Field sequential as the other eye. It actualy looked pretty great but was cut down to 1:85 and had hardcoded subs as well as Russian audio but still super fun to see it nonetheless. I wonder is anyone else has put the time into other projects like this. Gathering different eyes from different DVD or Blu releases? It’s very smart actually… I wish there was a copy of Man Who wasn’t there’ out there, I think that is the only 80’s 3D release I haven’t seen outside of the Earl Owensby movies.
