Star Wars Films Go 3D In 2012

We’ve known for some time that George Lucas had his sights set on a 3D re-release of Star Wars, but it looks as though it might actually happen starting with Episode 1 in 2012, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Apparently, Lucas was holding out for the number of 3D screens in the US to grow to acceptable levels—and the release of Avatar went a long way in helping to make that possible.

However, the goal is to release one movie a year, meaning we won’t get to the good stuff until 2015. Lucas plans to oversee the conversion process, but we all know that making 3D movies from the ground up results in the best product. So, there is no telling whether or not it will even be worth the wait.
