Overview
- Lucasfilm confirms a “newly restored version” of the original 1977 theatrical release, not the later Special Edition.
- The film will play for a limited time, with ticket details to be provided on StarWars.com closer to the date.
- The re-release was moved up from April 30 to February 19, 2027, positioning it months before the new film Starfighter.
- Some outlets report possible IMAX showings, but Lucasfilm has not confirmed any premium-format bookings.
- This will be the first broad theatrical chance to see the unaltered cut in decades, following a rare BFI 35mm screening attended by Kathleen Kennedy earlier this year.
