Disney and Lucasfilm have laid out what they’re doing in 2027 for the 50th anniversary<\/strong> of Star Wars<\/em>, and an original trilogy<\/a> remake isn’t part of it. What they are planning is a celebration of the 1977 film itself, starting with a theatrical re-release of the unaltered Star Wars: A New Hope<\/em> in February 2027. Lucasfilm still hasn’t officially announced remakes of Star Wars: A New Hope<\/em>, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back<\/em>, or Star Wars: Return of the Jedi<\/em>, and it’s still not clear how any of this will roll out internationally.<\/p>\n\n

\n\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There’s more attached to the anniversary, too. Lucasfilm is putting out Star Wars: A New Hope: Triple Take<\/em>, a graphic novel version of the story told through the perspectives of Luke, Leia, and Han. New unabridged audiobook editions<\/strong> of the original trilogy, narrated by Marc Thompson, are also set for February 2, 2027. On top of that, there’s Star Wars: The Experience<\/em> at The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, a wider 2027 promotional push with products, collaborations, and events teased by Hasbro, plus more publishing on the way, including Star Wars: Eyes Like Stars<\/em> and another Star Wars: Visions<\/em> manga release.<\/p>\n

For anyone who’d rather revisit the original movie and the period around it than sit through a reboot, this update looks pretty appealing.<\/p>\n\n

You\u2019ll be able<\/strong> to see Star Wars: A New Hope<\/em> in theaters in February 2027, pick up the audiobooks on February 2, and visit the exhibition in Philadelphia during the anniversary run.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
