Ok, yeah I'm going....

Lucasfilm announced today that Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones and Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith will be released theatrically in 3D back-to-back on September 20, 2013 and October 11, 2013, respectively.

"Attack of the Clones" will be going up against Ron Howard's Rush with Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Bruhl, while Paul Greengrass's Captain Phillips starring Tom Hanks is scheduled on the same date as "Revenge of the Sith."

"Attack of the Clones" will also be battling for 3D screens against The Little Mermaid 3D, opening a week earlier, and "Revenge of the Sith" will be in a similar situation with Sin City: A Dame to Kill For presumably opening in 3D theaters a week before.

Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace was released in 3D on February 10. Re-released by Fox, the 3D version earned $43.5 million domestically and $59.3 million internationally for a worldwide total of $102.7 million.

Hell yes. Saw this today as well. The coverage from CVI has really been good on SW.com. Like the Chris Hardwick spots and interviews.

Good turn out of money so you can't blame them for going for a full release. Good business sense. As I don't really care for these films I won't be going but those who enjoy them well fair play have fun.

Now Howard the Duck in 3D..... Urghhh

These days, that's not really a lot.

And as i said before just because it makes a lot of money does not mean its a good film. ;)

Regardless of anyone's opinion of the film, my son will make sure we're both there :)

Bryancd · November 21, 2012, 02:42:46 PM

well, to be fair, for a rerelease it's pretty sporty business, certainly profitable after the cost on conversion and will be a great lead in for Ep. VII.

Funnily enough, Star Wars wasn't made for 40 year old guys in 1977. It was made for kids. And so were the prequels. My kids love 'em. That's fine. It's theirs. I had my childhood, still unraped.

Indeed, but it provides wonderful fodder for snarky arm chair quarter backing from 40 year old guys on the internet who fancy themselves filmmakers!

My daughter loves a new hope, she couldn't stand Phantom so I stand by my comment. Oh and I'm 39 so I will take your comment as not aimed at me. ;)

Geekyfanboy · November 28, 2012, 10:10:49 AM

Lucky for me I don't give a sh*t what people say or think about these films.. I love each and everyone of them for different reasons from Episode 1 to Episode 6 and nothing you say, do or chastise me for will change that. :)

BTW.. the above Statement was just that a statement.. not aimed towards anyone here.. it's just my general rule.
