Well, I can’t say that this surprises me, but Lucasfilm has officially decided to postpone the 3D re-releases of Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones and Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith until further notice, in order to focus 100% on producing Star Wars: Episode VII. Presumably, this means we will not get the original Star Wars trilogy in 3D any time soon either.
Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace was re-released in February of last year in 3D, and Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith were originally slated to be re-released this fall. Now, it appears that The Phantom Menace will be the lone 3D wolf in the saga for a good long while. Read on for the statement from Lucasfilm.
Lucasfilm has decided to postpone this fall’s scheduled release of Star Wars Episodes II and III in 3D. Given the recent development that we are moving forward with a new Star Wars trilogy, we will now focus 100 percent of our efforts on Star Wars: Episode VII in order to ensure the best possible experience for our fans. We will post further information about our 3D release plans at a later date.
