Star Wars Episodes II and III 3D rereleases coming to theaters in September and October 2013

Before Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace came back to the theaters earlier this year converted for 3D, the plan was to bring the other five movies to theaters one at a time each year, but that has apparently changed. At the Star Wars Celebration VI event in Orlando (where we first found out about the Blu-ray release two years ago) Lucasfilm announced that Episodes II and III in 3D will be released in theaters back to back in fall of 2013, arriving September 20th and October 11th, respectively. Missing so far from the announcement? A reason for the back-to-back release or any word on Blu-ray 3D plans. In lieu of more details, although it means Attack of the Clones will come back later in the year than Phantom Menace did, with any luck this accelerated schedule is a good omen for the original trilogy’s return. Of course, we’ll have to wait and see what magic can be worked with those older film and special effects elements, however IGN apparently found an early preview of the Episode II 3D footage to be promising.

OUYA console’s first exclusive game is ‘Human Element’ prequel from former Call of Duty maker

OUYA console's first exclusive game is 'Human Element' prequel from former Call of Duty maker

After all the excitement from the Yves Behar-designed OUYA console’s massive Kickstarter campaign fades away, like every other console it will be judged on the quality of its games we finally have the name of one. Robotoki president Robert Bowling — best known as @fourzerotwo on Twitter and formerly as a producer from Infinity Ward for the Call of Duty series — has announced plans to bring an “episodic prequel” to the company’s first game Human Element exclusively to OUYA. While not much is known about Human Element yet other than that it’s a survival game set in a zombie apocalypse scheduled for release in 2015, although Bowling is promising OUYA backers will get exclusive access to updates during development. He can also be counted among that group, cheerfully noting in a video along with the announcement that he’s contributed $10,000 to the cause. That’s one project on the list — any bets on which developer will be next to hitch their game to the bandwagon?
