Here’s some news for all those of you out there to see Star Wars in 3D. The first movie in theGeorge Lucassci-fi saga (not the first made mind you) is going to be hitting cinemas February 10th 2012.

Don’t forget the Star Wars Sixtilogy or whatever you want to call it ( I believe it’s called the Complete Saga) is released November this year and you canpre-order your copy here.
