Due to print availability issues, The Star Wars event scheduled for Friday January 18th has been postponed. We are working to resolve this issue and will announce a new date for this event as soon as possible. In place of the Star Wars trilogy we will be showing the Back To The Future trilogy. If you pre purchased tickets for Star Wars your tickets will be honored for Back To The Future AND your tickets will also be honored for the rescheduled date of the Star Wars event. You may also present your ticket for a full refund. If you purchase a ticket for the Back To The Future trilogy, the ticket will be honored for the rescheduled date of the Star Wars event as well. We apologize for any inconvenience and are working hard to resolve this matter and arrange a new event date for everyone to enjoy the Star Wars films as they were meant to be seen.

Pretty good replacement trilogy, though.

Cancelled or postponed?

They say postponed, but I'll bet that they don't end up rescheduling it. Lucasfilm doesn't hand OOT prints out like candy and I don't know what other source they would use...

What kind of event was this? Was it a cinema that was gonna show all three?

If they really do it later, I hope everybody who goes there bring their cameras!

It is a very old movie theater- I don't want to put the name on this public forum because I want it to work out.

It was going to be prints of the entire trilogy, shown back to back, in their original versions.

If it would happen again later, please send a pm because I'd like to tell dark_jedi. He lives in the Chicago area and I bet he would love to see this.

OK, I'll keep an eye on it and PM you if/when it is rescheduled.
