'On April 30th, 2027, we’ll celebrate the 50th anniversary of Star Wars with a re-release of the 1977 classic back for a limited time, in theaters everywhere.

Part of Lucasfilm’s yearlong 50th anniversary celebration, Star Wars: A New Hope will play in theaters over the May the 4th holiday, also known as Star Wars Day.

Switch on your targeting computer and keep your eyes on StarWars.com for more details, including when and where to buy tickets to this once-in-a-generation event.’

This will likely be a theatrical showing of the 2019 ‘Maclunkey’ Special Editions? Be interesting to get some confirmation on that.

Bizarre they aren’t showing it over the week of 25th May - the actual 50th anniversary - but… oh well.

Quite a mixed / confusing announcement. Yet it is Star Wars on the big screen! 👍 (even if it is the 2019 Maclunkey cut? 👎)
