Disney is set to release a newly restored version of the original 1977 theatrical cut of Star Wars in theaters on February 19, 2027. This release is part of Lucasfilm’s yearlong celebration marking the 50th anniversary of the franchise. The theatrical run will be for a limited time, although specific details regarding ticket sales have not yet been announced. Disney has stated that information about purchasing tickets will be available on their official site, StarWars.com.
In preparation for the re-release of Star Wars, Disney will preview The Mandalorian and Grogu in theaters on May 22, 2026. Additionally, another film titled Star Wars: Starfighter, featuring actor Ryan Gosling, is scheduled for release on May 28, 2027.
The planning surrounding these releases raises questions about the wider strategy of Disney and Lucasfilm as they continue to develop the Star Wars franchise for both existing fans and new audiences.
