Overview
- Lucasfilm’s official announcement sets Feb. 19, 2027 as the start of the limited engagement after moving up from the previously planned April 30 date.
- The release is a newly restored version of the 1977 theatrical cut, not the later Special Edition revisions.
- Some outlets report a Feb. 17 start and suggest IMAX showings, which Lucasfilm has not confirmed.
- Details on ticket sales, venues, and the exact screening window will be announced closer to the release.
- Positioning the run in February spaces it from Shawn Levy’s new Star Wars feature Starfighter, slated for late May 2027.
