May the Fourth Be With You!

A long time ago, in a galaxy, far, far away, George Lucas created a fantasy adventure that would change filmmaking forever. Join us for these classics, back on the big screen in time to celebrate STAR WARS day.

The original that started it all follows Luke Skywalker as he teams with Jedi Master Obi-wan Kenobi, cocky pilot Han Solo, a Wookiee and two droids to save the galaxy and rescue Princess Leia from the evil Darth Vader. Among the many factors that went into the movie magic of George Lucas' history-making, paradigm-shifting, swashbuckling space adventure were John Williams' heroic fanfares, harkening back to the music of Hollywood's Golden Age. Also, the authoritative screen presence of Alec Guinness, nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar® for his iconic turn as Kenobi, leading a cast of young unknowns including Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher. The film won six Oscars®, including Williams' third Academy Award® for Best Original Score.
