Star Wars Day Celebration
May 4 @ 12:30 pm - 10:00 pm
$7 – $10
We at Tampa Theatre had been trying to get permission to screen Star Wars (now known as Star Wars: A New Hope) since Grand Admiral Thrawn was still just a twinkle in Timothy Zahn’s typewriter ribbon. For about two decades, our president and CEO has had a business card in his Rolodex with a phone number for Skywalker Ranch. But the rat-king of mergers and acquisitions in the film industry finally paid dividends in 2022, and we lifted our curtain on that famous golden text crawl for the very first time.
Since then, we’ve expanded our own universe to include the rest of the original trilogy of films, and that means an encore of the one that started it all — almost literally. Join us for your favorite film in the original Star Wars trilogy or come and watch them all on Saturday May 4th (tickets are sold separately for each screening). Costumes are encouraged! Doors open 45 minutes before each screening.
*Star Wars: A New Hope (1977) – film begins at 1:15pm
*Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back – film begins at 4:30pm
*Star Wars: Return of the Jedi – film begins at 7:45pm
