Clone Wars will be in 3d, but Lucas gave up on converting the original Star Wars films. Real film just doesn't convert well using the psudo-2d to 3d process that's used on Disney's animated 3d films and such. Throw in the effects and shifted focus in scenes and it just wasn't going to work. Anyone who saw the Superman Returns "3d" section knows how little it really worked. While Warner was content with subpar for Superman, Lucas wasn't and since it never got to his liking, he gave up. I have heard rumors though that he may redo the entire series in cgi 3d.
As for home 3d systems, I know I've gone over all of them in other threads here a few times. The best bet for good looking 3d are shutter glasses with the right display, but I don't know if they will really catch on with the masses, even if they put the interface hardware in the blu-ray player's themselves as some companies have talked about.
Actually, Disney has yet to say what 3d format Hanna Montana will be released in, only that glasses will come with the disc and there is a 3d version. It probably is anaglyph of the red blue type unfortunately since that's easiest and cheapest. It also works the worst, especially with color films. Yeah, stuff is in 3d, if you like watching it all with messed up color. But somehow I can't see Disney throwing in multiple pairs of $25 shutter glasses in with the disc.
