"Star Wars" is entering the third dimension, LucasFilm announced today.

GTFO with those ugly ass glasses. How come 3D TV's need sunglass that are 200$ a set? WTF come on now people in the ghetto want to see black tittes in 3D

I don't see what's stopping people from doing with TV's what Nintendo is doing with the 3DS - that is, have the 3D build into the screen, so you don't have to wear those... ugly, battery powered, expensive as all hell glasses...
Oh right. Money.

Sony and I think LG are both making tvs like that.
projected price for an LG 12 inch was around 1300 dollars.

It's the clarity of the 3D effect. Everyone whose played the 3ds says you have to position your head in the center of the screen or else it will look awful. If you had people over, whoever was sitting at an angle wouldn't be able to see in 3d.
I'm pretty sure that's just a software effect though, so technically it could be pulled off on HD tv's you already own, but that's just an assumption on my part.
