A rumor from
JediNews says that the 3D conversions of Star Wars Episode II and Episode III will both be released on December 31, 2014, at least in the Netherlands. Those two re-releases were once set for September and October of this year, but those dates were scratched when Episode VII was announced. At the time, the official Lucasfilm statement was:
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.
Will the 3D releases now happen roughly a year before the new film hits, as a primer for that movie? That’s possible, but there’s no official word at this point.
Finally, next Tuesday, December 3, is the deadline to submit a tape to audition for one of the two roles for which Lucasfilm is doing an open casting call.
