The Unexpected Return of Star Wars to Theaters

Some announcements shake the entertainment world, and this one certainly qualifies. Following the news of Netflix negotiating to acquire Warner Bros. Discoverys studio and streaming divisions, yet another extraordinary revelation has emerged. Fans who thought theyd never witness this again are now filled with excitement.

Disney and Lucasfilm have officially confirmed plans to mark the 50th anniversary of "StarWars" with a theatrical celebration. While the re-release of the 1977 blockbuster is already generating buzz, the true highlight is that audiences will finally see the movie in its original form the version first shown in theaters, untouched by later alterations introduced in the 1997 re-release or before the release of "The Phantom Menace" in 1999.

The announcement states: On February 19, 2027, fans will have the chance to experience the 1977 original of 'Star Wars' in theaters for a limited engagement. This special edition is part of Lucasfilms yearlong 50th anniversary celebration and presents a newly restored version of the classic theatrical release, which was later retitled 'Star Wars: A New Hope'.
