Star Wars: A New Hope will return!
By: Jake Rajala
The mythical Star Wars film, “Star Wars: A New Hope”, was revolutionary when it arrived in theaters in 1977. It became more popular than the fellow space film. “2001: A Space Odyssey”. The film brought in a domestic box office total of 307 million. The film has garnered a 94% Rotten Tomatoes score. Furthermore, 90% of Google users admire the piece.
With that enunciated, I want to tell you: “A New Hope” will return to theaters in 2027 to honor its 50th anniversary!
This is very exciting news. Everybody loved when “Revenge of the Sith” came back to theaters in 2025. It’s quite poetic that the fourth Star Wars film will show after the third one.
Of course, the re-release is still a bit in the distance. We still have to see Star Wars: Starfighter before that.
It’s also still very exciting that adults who watched the film as children can return to watch it on the big screen once again. I would say that watching Star Wars on the big screen is more fun than a Christopher Nolan movie!
Hopefully, “Empire Strikes Back” follows in the footsteps of “A New Hope” within a few years. Not only does it come after a New Hope, but it is arguably the best Star Wars film.
It’s easy to remember “A New Hope” with the crew getting together, but it’s also John Williams’s best work, as well. His music with Luke looking into the suns is extremely impressive.
The first Star Wars film nearly came out 50 years ago, but it is still connects everyone and is worth re-watching for every type of audience. I can’t wait to grab my skittles and watch it on the big screen for the first time as a Gen Z.
