Back in September, Lucasfilm announced that they would be releasing the Star Wars saga in 3D in 2012, at the time of the announcement we weren’t given any specific date in 2012.
Now it looks like the first Star Wars 3D movie will hit the theaters in the US on the 10th of February 2012, and as we mentioned previously the first Star Wars to be released in 3D will be the Phantom Menace.
Supervised by Industrial Light & Magic, the meticulous conversion is being done with utmost respect for the source material, and with a keen eye for both technological considerations and artistic intentions.
