Star Wars: A New Hope Returns to cinemas for the 50th Anniversary as part of Star Wars 50

While older readers pause to consider just how long ago the first Star Wars film arrived, as part of Star Wars 50, fans can already start planning for 2027. While 2025 is still in full swing, it’s already planned the original film will be back in cinemas, commencing April 2027 and (of course) including May 4th.

What else can we expect?

Details from Lucasfilm are obviously few at this stage, but we are promised this is just:

Part of Lucasfilm’s yearlong 50th anniversary celebration

At this point we have just two burning questions:

Q1: Will Hans shoot first?

Q2: Will we have to queue for four hours outside a packed cinema as some of us did in 1977?

Expect plenty more news to follow.
