There was a bit of a surprise at the end of of Star Wars Celebration VI this weekend when the release dates for both Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith 3D  were announced and the wait between the two films will be much less than the year apart Lucas and company had initially announced.

Star Wars Episode 2 3D will release on September 20th, 2013 which is a little over a year and a half after Episode 1 was released this past February but they are making up for the extra wait by releasing Episode 3 on October 11, 2013, a mere three weeks later.

Now I didn’t go see Episode 1 in theaters and for good reasons which any self respecting person should know but in my opinion the prequels did get progressively better so I will most likely be attending Attack of the Clones and definitely seeing Revenge of the Sith.

Side note: Has anyone thought how differently the Star Wars movies would be thought of if there was no prequel trilogy, just Episode 3 which I consider a good movie.
