When Star Wars: The Force Awakens hit theaters last December, it showed on some screens in 3D and 3D IMAX, with those premium ticket prices helping the film become the highest-grossing theatrical release in U.S. history. Just recently, Disney announced the upcoming relaese of Star Wars: The Force Awakens 3D Collector's Edition, a combo pack that includes a 3D Blu-ray Disc of the movie. The same 2D to 3D converstion used for The Force Awakens will also be used for Gareth Edwards' Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Now, we know there's another cool way to watch Rogue One in 3D.
Disney has announced the release of exclusive 3D glasses for Rogue One, in collaboration with Australian manufacturer Look3D.
The Real D-certified glasses will work in equipped theaters as well as "passive 3D TVs, monitors and laptops." The pair's color schemes are designed to match those of either Deathtroopers (black) or Stormtroopers (white) in Rogue One. The glasses will cost between $9 and $12. Last year, a separate round of 3D glasses (being themed around Stormtroopers, Kylo Ren, Captain Phasma and BB-8) were released for The Force Awakens.
These glasses look pretty cool, but are they really necessary? There's no indication that these glasses will work better than regular 3D glasses, but hardcore fans will probably get them because of their awesome looks.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens 3D Collector's Edition will be available on November 15, 2016. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story will be released in U.S. theaters on December 16, 2016, followed by Star Wars: Episode VIII on December 15, 2017, the untitled Han Solo Star Wars Anthology film in May 25, 2018, Star Wars: Episode IX on 2019, and the third Star Wars spin-off film in 2020.
