Star Wars II and III getting 3D releases in 2013
Prequels getting unveiled back to back
  
  Star Wars    is heading back to cinemas again, with  the official  Star Wars  Facebook page  confirming that the final two films in the prequel trilogy are to get the 3D re-release treatment.  
 Following on from this year’s re-release of   Episode I: The Phantom Menace   ,   Episode II: Attack Of The Clones   and   Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith   will get back-to-back cinema releases in 2013. 
 Episode II  will open on 20 September 2013, while  Episode III  will open on 11 October 2013. 
 Though   Episode I   is easily the least popular film in the series, it still managed to rustle up $44m at the global box office, which is nothing to be sniffed at. 
 Previously,  Lucasfilm revealed that each  Star Wars  film would get a 3D re-release on a yearly basis  , beginning with  Menace  and ending with   Return Of The Jedi   . 
 So while most  Wars  fans won’t bother going to see the remaining prequels in 3D, the good news is that we may not have to wait long for the original trilogy to get a 3D revival.
Just think how good The Empire Strikes Back will look up there through a pair of 3D glasses...
