It's The Phantom Menace 3D Release Day!

Posted By Eric on February 10, 2012

It's been exactly 500 days -- one year, four months, and thirteen days -- since we first learned that Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace was returning to theaters in 3D. Now, after all that waiting, it's finally here. To help you get into the Episode I spirit, TFN presents our roundup of TPM 3D re-release coverage and related resources.

The Film Itself
And just in case you forgot...

Turmoil has engulfed the Galactic
Republic. The taxation of trade routes to
outlying star systems is in dispute.

Hoping to resolve the matter with a
blockade of deadly battleships, the
greedy Trade Federation has stopped
all shipping to the small planet of
Naboo.

While the congress of the Republic
endlessly debates this alarming chain
of events, the Supreme Chancellor has
secretly dispatched two Jedi Knights,
the guardians of peace and justice in
the galaxy, to settle the conflict....

If you're going to see The Phantom Menace 3D this weekend or at some point in the future, have fun and May The Force Be With You!
