The original plan, if I recall correctly, was to re-release one Star Wars film per year in 3D. The Phantom Menace came along in February of this year but, bluntly, it underperformed.
I wouldn't have been surprised to hear that Lucasfilm were going to pull the plug on the endeavour, or that everything was going to be scaled down to home-entertainment releases. Apparently not, however, as both Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith have now been put up on the calendar.
Both will be along next autumn, with Clones on September 20th and Sith on October 11th. Leaves it a bit late for a Blu-ray date ahead of Christmas, but you never know.
This is as far as the announcement goes, but this accelerated schedule may well have been designed to get through the list more quickly, and bring us to the original Star Wars in Spring or Summer of 2014. That's my hunch right now.
I would even be surprised to see the original trilogy spaced out across 2014 somehow. Guesswork for now.
