Overview
- Disney and Lucasfilm set the theatrical date for February 19, 2027, moving it up from an initially reported April 30 slot.
- The studio describes the print as a newly restored version of the original 1977 theatrical release rather than later revisions.
- The engagement will run for a limited time, with ticketing details to be announced on StarWars.com closer to the date.
- Multiple outlets report possible IMAX showings, which Disney and Lucasfilm have not confirmed.
- The re-release anchors a yearlong 50th‑anniversary program and offers the broadest access to the unaltered cut in decades after a rare BFI screening in 2025.
