MUMBAI: Disney and Lucasfilm have postponed their plan to continue re-releasing of the prequel trilogy Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith in theaters in 3D.

"Given the recent development that we are moving forward with a new Star Wars trilogy, we will now focus 100 per cent of our efforts on Star Wars: Episode VII in order to ensure the best possible experience for our fans," the company stated in a post on the franchise‘s official site. "We will post further information about our 3D release plans at a later date."

The Phantom Menace 3D reissue was released by 20th Century Fox on 10 February last year and grossed $22 million in its opening weekend to finally end a domestic haul of $43 million.

The fate of the 3D versions of Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Episode III: Revenge of the Sith are now to be determined.

Star Wars: Episode VII is scheduled for release in 2015.
