ComingSoon.net caught up with DreamWorks Animations CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg on Tuesday and learned that George Lucas is looking to repurpose the six "Star Wars" episodes into 3D format.

Katzenberg told us that Lucas is very excited about it and that he's got the technical resources to pull it off. "He isn't going to put a product out, I think, that isn't anything other than first rate," Katzenberg said.

Stay tuned for possibly more on this soon.

doesn't Lucas have enough money? All Sta Wars and Indiana Jones stuff aside, he owns ILM and Skywalker sound which is what every single movie uses so I mean come on...it's not like he's trying to pay off some bills

I love how 3D is being talked about a technical innovation as if it hasn't been around for 40+ years.
