Missed seeing Luke, Leia and Han Solo in theatres in 1977? You’ll get another chance to watch the iconic trio in theatres this winter.
Fifty years after the original Star Wars movie — now known as Star Wars: A New Hope — hit the silver screen, Disney is set to re-release a restored version of the original film and a special 70mm IMAX edition in theatres on Feb. 19.
Alongside the newly mastered movies, Disney is also debuting a new poster by British artist and graphic designer Matt Ferguson, who has worked for studios like LucasFilm, Marvel and Paramount.
The re-release of Star Wars: A New Hope marks the beginning of a new slate of Star Wars themed projects.
On May 28, 2027, Star Wars: Starfighter will be released in theatres for the first time, starring Canadian Ryan Gosling, who was lauded for his recent performances in Project Hail Mary and Barbie. He’ll star as a cynical rogue who is confronted by his mysterious past. The movie shows him being “hurled into a dangerous adventure across the galaxy that puts him on a crash course with destiny.”
Star Wars: Starfighter will be led by Montreal-born director Shawn Levy, who also directed the Night at the Museum movies, as well as Fall Guy and Deadpool & Wolverine. The latter two movies starred the other famous Canadian Ryan, Ryan Reynolds.
The film will also star Matt Smith, Mia Goth, and Amy Adams, among others.
The movie will take place “approximately five years after the events of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,” according to a press release from the Star Wars website.
