Star Wars: A New Hope Is Headed Back To Theaters, And This Release Will Give Fans Something They’ve Been Wanting For Ages

2027 marks the 50th anniversary of Star Wars: A New Hope, the film that launched the beloved space saga. To celebrate, a new theatrical release is planned for that year, alongside the upcoming Ryan Gosling-starring Starfighter movie. What’s particularly exciting for fans is that this rerelease will feature the original, unaltered version of A New Hope – something they’ve requested for years.

Lucasfilm has announced that a restored version of the original Star Wars movie from 1977 will be shown in theaters for a limited time starting February 19, 2027. Originally planned for April 30th, the release date has been moved up, which is unusual! More importantly, this will be the first time in many years that audiences can officially see the original version of A New Hope in theaters, as it hasn’t been widely available for quite some time.
