A 3-D version of the Star Wars: Episode I will hit theaters next year. Lucasfilm and 20th Century Fox say that The Phantom Menace in 3-D will arrive in theaters on Feb. 10, 2012. That's around the same time of year that the Special Edition version of the first Star Wars trilogy was rereleased in 1997. Unlike the Special Editions, which were all released within a two month period, the 3-D versions of the franchise won't come out quite as quickly. There are plans to release all six movies in 3-D, and if The Phantom Menace does well next year, the other five will come out annually at roughly the same time on the calendar.

But Charlie was not cool with this, telling Access Hollywood, Stamos doesn't have what Sheen "has" and that the show would "suck." Because nobody can be both winning and hating on John Stamos, Sheen is now backpedaling on his comments. "I was out of line and you're a beautiful man, and a talented man," Sheen said in front of KTLA cameras, "and if you get the gig, we should talk."
