Following the confirmation that J.J.Abrahms will indeed be directing the next entries in the franchise, Lucasfilm has released the following statement, concerning the post-poning of the 3D conversions.
"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."
It's a wise move of Disney, to distance themselves from the prequel series for the time being, many people claiming that they were milking the franchise, and the poor performance of the first 3D re-release leads many more to feel the same way. Episode II: Attack of the Clones was meant to be released in 3D on September 20th 2013, with Episode II: Revenge of the Sith to follow in October 11th.
