12 Star Wars Scenes That Will Be Glorious in 3-D

7. The Star Destroyer

Not the most awe-inspiring of 3-D scenes on this list -- but it is the most iconic. That poor Rebel Blockade Runner will look even punier next to a 3-D Star Destroyer.

8. Wedge Saves the Day

Wedge Antilles, the forgotten hero. Oh, sure, Luke Skywalker gets all the credit. And, sure, Wedge had to pull out of the final trench run. Luke even mentioned that Wedge couldn't do any good back there with his disabled ship. And Wedge said he was sorry, give the guy a break. Regardless, Wedge saves Luke's ass -- flying right toward the camera -- when Luke couldn't shake a measly Tie-Fighter just after the assault on the Death Star was launched.

9. Luke Almost Gets Crushed

The entire Battle of Hoth will be absolute eye-candy once converted to 3-D. (We have to wait until 2016? Really?) The thought of watching an All Terrain Armored Transport's giant front left foot come crashing down on us, as watched from Luke's perspective, is downright frightening.

10. The Asteroid Chase

Never tell Han the odds! Sure, the chances of successfully navigating an asteroid field are 3,720 to 1, but Han Solo had an advantage that we didn't at the time -- he could see the asteroids in 3-D! Soon we will, too. Also, see the little Tie-Fighter pilot that ejected in this scene? I want to feel his pain as he's ever so briefly floating toward me.

11. The Speeder Bike Chase

On a big screen, the speeder bike chase can already induce motion sickness. I'm looking forward to seeing that poor Biker Scout that Luke throws off the speeder bounce off that tree in 3-D.

12. It's a Trap!

Lando is told by Admiral Ackbar that the Death Star's shields are still up. It's a race to turn his squadron around and fly them straight into a waiting Imperial ambush. In every "making of" type feature on the Original Trilogy, it's this scene -- of the Millennium Falcon flying right at us through a billion Tie-Fighters -- that's always cited as one of the most complicated of the first three films to complete.
