The trailer for “Star Wars Episode 1 : The Phantom Menace 3D” – yep, the genie has granted your wish Aladdin! ‘Pod racing in 3D!’ – has just been discovered amongst the ‘sexual enhancement drug’ offers and pleas to ‘send money to an offshore bank account in’ spam in our junkmail. Trailered with copies of “The Three Musketeers” this past weekend (and yet the latter still flopped), the Feb 2012 offering is an enhanced, added-dimensional experience that pits Jar Jar Binks and all your favourites against the backdrop of an audience ready for a poke.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (March 3, 2011) – Lucasfilm Ltd. and Twentieth Century Fox announced today that the 3D theatrical launch of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace now has an official release date – February 10, 2012! Set against the thrilling and exotic backdrop of a “galaxy far, far away,” Star Wars is perfectly suited to the immersive 3D theatrical experience, and Episode I delivers some of the Saga’s most stunning and spectacular sequences – from the Naboo invasion to the Tatooine Podraces to the climactic lightsaber battle between Darth Maul and the Jedi. Supervised by Industrial Light & Magic, the meticulous conversion is being done with utmost respect for the source material, and with a keen eye for both technological considerations and artistic intentions.

Here’s the trailer :
