Star Wars original and latest films to get IMAX 70mm releases in 2027

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Lucasfilm has announced that "Star Wars: A New Hope" will be screened in IMAX 70mm for its 50th anniversary in 2027. This screening will feature a newly restored version of the original 1977 film, rather than a remastered one. Additionally, the newest film in the series, "Star Wars: Starfighter," is also slated for an IMAX 70mm release later in 2027, though it will be digitally upscaled from its 4K master. AI
