Lucasfilm Ltd. and Twentieth Century Fox report that the 3D theatrical launch of "Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace" will be 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'..."
