Quote :: As Star Wars Celebration VI came to an end Sunday, there was one last reveal: The release dates for not just Attack of the Clones 3D but Revenge of the Sith 3D as well, during the Celebration closing ceremonies.

When The Phantom Menace 3D opened in February this year, it was with the assumption that each Star Wars film would get a 3D re-release a year apart – likely around the same time of year.

The first surprise was that there’s a longer wait for Attack of the Clones than expected – the 3D version won’t be out until September 20th, 2013. But the bigger surprise was that Revenge of the Sith 3D will be opening just three weeks later, on October 11th, 2013.

No reason was given for opening the films so close together this time around, though the dates were revealed in a very amusing manner: Via a video of The Emperor himself, Ian McDiarmid, saying the date, only for George Lucas – who it turned out was sitting beside him – to tell him to repeat what he said, “Faster and more intense.”
