For those of you who don't already know (shame on you), Lucasfilm announced last monday that Episode II will be released onto IMAX screens across North America. Here's what Jim Ward, Vice President of Marketing for Lucasfilm had to say:

"Star Wars: Episode II The IMAX Experience will provide an entirely new way to experience the Star Wars universe, for the first time, fans of Star Wars will be able to see all their favorite characters, environments, vehicles and droids in a setting that is up to eight stories high and over a hundred feet wide."

    Episode II was already really blurry and pixely. Now the blurry pixels can be twice as big as your head!!

    It'll end up being like one of those magic eye paintings from the mid-nineties. Relax your eyes and you'll see a 3-D image of Jar Jar doing a jig!

    Thanks for asking, Metallus. I've been incredibly busy with university and have barely had time to search for news. I'm taking a year off to travel this year, so you should be seeing me much more frequently in the community.
