A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi will be returning to the big screen this summer. As reported by Entertainment Weekly, Star Wars Episodes IV-VI will be making their way back to theaters this August. Across 20 cities, the original trilogy will be shown in select Alamo Drafthouse theaters.

“Travel with us back to a galaxy far, far away… For the first time in over a decade Alamo Drafthouse is bringing the original Star Wars trilogy roaring back to big screens at movie palaces and performing arts centers across the country this August,” a post on ReturnOfTheTrilogy.com reads.

“Not only that, but each “Return of the Trilogy” screening will be its own one-of-a-kind event,” it continues. “Some will be galactic-sized triple feature marathons, while others will even take place beneath the actual stars! All shows will feature specially curated videos & clips between films, contests (Jedi mind tricks, anyone?), props to bring the power of the Force to life, and loads of other Star Wars insanity.”

Tickets will go on sale on Star Wars day, May 4th – May the 4th be with you – here.
