George Lucas cashing in on the Star Wars franchise once again! What a surprise! I'll stick to watching Episodes 4-5-6 on DVD.

If George was cashing in we'd have Episode 12 by now.

Its not his fault the toys are selling.

And if you had such a big property on your hands you would cash in too, don't say you wouldn't.

Finally he has full right too, he funded almost all the films from money from his pocket, from his fortune (one of the few directors to do this, Cameron or Spieldberg haven't done this). If any director has a right to cash in, its George Lucas.

I wouldn't. If I was swimming in money like he is I'd just leave the movies alone.

I don't mind the toys, the board games, the costumes, the video games, the books but I really think the movies should be left alone (plus 3D won't magically fix all that's wrong with the prequels).

Neither of us should pretend to know what kind of a responsibility we would have as the head of THE biggest Intellectual Property in the world (one that was not easy to establish...see documentaries to see how much Lucas had to go through to get his vision to come to screen). Saying we would or wouldn't milk doesn't mean much as we will never know what it feels like to sit on a cash machine beloved by million worldwide. Millions of fans still want new movies and the amount of money the 3D re-releases make will prove, this is the real litmus test of how the prequels were really received. Go to boxofficemojo or other sites, people are going mad with joy over this news.

3D won't fix the problems in the original trilogy either, no-one is claiming it will fix whatever problems you had with prequels. No-one's forcing you to see them.

Nope, we have far too less Star Wars movies for me to even consider that to be true. The rest he's doing it cus a lot of fans want it. The only thing being milked is Lucas bashing.
