"Disney is bringing a "newly restored version" of the original, 1977 theatrical cut of Star Wars back to theaters on February 19th, 2027. It will only be available in theaters for "a limited time," Disney says, and it's being released as part of "Lucasfilm's yearlong 50th anniversary celebration" for the franchise. Tickets aren't on sale yet, but Disney says it will share details on when and where to buy tickets on StarWars.com."
"Disney initially revealed earlier this year that it would be bringing Star Wars back to theaters. Star Wars creator George Lucas has famously tinkered with what's now called A New Hope, but a few lucky fans have already been able to recently see the first theatrical cut; The British Film Institute showed an original, 35mm release print of the movie in June at an event that featured an introduction from Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy, who confirmed that it was "in fact, the first print.""
Disney will re-release a newly restored original 1977 theatrical cut of Star Wars in theaters on February 19, 2027, for a limited time. The release is part of Lucasfilm's yearlong 50th anniversary celebration. Tickets are not yet on sale and purchase details will be posted on StarWars.com. The British Film Institute screened an original 35mm release print in June, and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy confirmed that print was the first theatrical print. George Lucas previously altered A New Hope, making this restored cut notable. Additional theatrical events include The Mandalorian and Grogu (May 22, 2026) and Star Wars: Starfighter (May 28, 2027).
