Star Wars 3D has a Release

February 10th 2012 is the day Star Wars fans will cry "Enough is enough!" This is the release date of the 3D release of Phantom Menance, though I assure you the AwesomeRobo crew won't be in line. Lucasfilms has released a press release, which you can read after the jump.

Lucasfilm Ltd. and Twentieth Century Fox announced today that the 3D theatrical launch of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace now has an official release date -- February 10, 2012! Set against the thrilling and exotic backdrop of a "galaxy far, far away," Star Wars is perfectly suited to the immersive 3D theatrical experience, and Episode I delivers some of the Saga's most stunning and spectacular sequences -- from the Naboo invasion to the Tatooine Podraces to the climactic lightsaber battle between Darth Maul and the Jedi.
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.

Here's the deal. This film will rise or fall depending on ticket numbers. If this film fails, they won't be remastering Episode's 2/3/4/5/6 in 3D, and the Indiana Jones films will be left in peace (which Lucas has great interest in releasing in 3D).

If you don't see this, we won't see yet another cut of these classics, with the "added bonus" of 3D. Or you could get your ticket right now, but if you do we can't be friends.
