Star Wars in 3D gives everyone a chance to see it on the big screen
My seven-year-old can tell you whose lightsaber is purple (Mace Windu) and what sound a Droideka makes (em! em!), but he's never been able to sit in a movie theater and see one of his beloved Star Wars movies on the big screen. Until now. The two of us were...
