I was sitting around the other day doing nothing. Maybe I was watching 13 Going On 30. Fine, I totally was. But then the phone rang and it was none other than George Lucas. He was already speaking mid-sentence about how the constant retooling he had performed on the negative for Episode IV had made the 3D conversion impossible.

Here’s the holy grail, Star Wars Dallas! Check it out after the jump!
