Lucasfilm puts episode II and III 3D re-releases on hold

In order an effort to underscore their commitment to reviving the franchise in a way that will make everyone forget about the prequels Disney/Lucasfilm have announced they are putting the 3D re-releases of "Attack of the Clones" and "Revenge of the Sith" on hold for now while they ramp up pre-production on episode 7. The two prequels had been scheduled to see the light of 3D this fall but in a statement to EW the studio says - “Lucasfilm has decided to postpone this fall’s scheduled release of Episodes II and III in 3D... we will now focus 100 percent of our efforts on Star Wars: Episode VII”

It could be that accountants for the Mouse simply did a cost/benefit analysis and decided that, with new product in the pipeline, spending a lot of treasure trying to squeeze a few more bucks out of these less-than-beloved titles at this time just wasn't worth it. But whatever the true reason, II and III 3D are officially on-hold as of today.
