Waking up on days like today is so special, as I'm sure many of you can relate. The official Star Wars website dropped several exciting Star Wars 50th anniversary announcements this morning! Let's break everything down...
A new poster by Matt Ferguson was revealed for the upcoming restored version of the original Star Wars (1977), which hits theaters globally on February 19th, 2027. It will be available in digital and film formats including IMAX 70mm, 70mm, 35mm, Digital IMAX, 4DX, and D-BOX.
2027 is starting off super strong with the second season of Ahsoka debuting on Disney+ on January 20th, and then one month later the restored version of the original Star Wars will be in theaters? I can't believe it!
A new Disney+ documentary will be released on May 4th, 2027 by R.J. Cutler featuring exclusive, never-before-seen footage and audio recordings from the original 1977 production to tell the story of how Star Wars was made.
The Hero Awakens is produced by Lucasfilm, Cutler and This Machine, and Kennedy/Marshall.
I've always loved getting a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Star Wars. To this day, I wish physical copies of the series and movies included more BTS content comparabe to what I grew up with during the Prequel era. This is the announcement I am most excited about! This documentary is going to be truly special.
On April 2nd and 3rd, 2027, join host Anthony Daniels at the Hollywood Bowl for special performances of John Williams’ iconic film scores, which will feature scenes and music from all nine Skywalker Saga films.

With the Sequel Trilogy often being overlooked, I know this is going to be very meaningful to a lot of fans. If you're unable to make it to Star Wars Celebration Los Angeles, this is something you'll want to look into attending!
Developed alongside Disney, Lucasfilm, ILM, and MakeMake, Cosm’s Shared Reality production of Star Wars: A New Hope will celebrate the film’s 50th anniversary beginning March 2027.
The film will be displayed in its original 16:9 format on the center of Cosm’s 12K+ LED Dome, while the surrounding visual environments dynamically evolve to immerse the audience in iconic Star Wars locations and moments.
Cosm is located in Los Angeles, Ca, Texas, Georgia, and Michigan.
While I think I'd be sensitive to a screening like this, it sounds like such a unique experience, and I'm eager to hear about it!
Throughout 2027, there will be a plethora of new limited edition merchandise, including collectibles, toys, apparel, automotive, food and beverage, and electronics from brands like LEGO, Hasbro, and more.
