“Chewie, we’re home.” This weekend, Austin film lovers will journey back to a galaxy far, far away at Lucasfilm’s 25th-anniversary re-release of “Star Wars: The Phantom Menace”… but the story won’t end there.

Beginning May 10th with “Star Wars: Attack of the Clones”, Alamo Drafthouse Village will screen all nine Skywalker Saga films as well as “Rogue One”, and “Solo: A Star Wars Story” throughout May, June, and July only at Alamo Drafthouse Village. The most committed Star Wars fans will also have the rare opportunity to see each of the three trilogies back-to-back.

“Star Wars: The Prequel Trilogy” plays Saturday, June 22nd & Friday, July 19th.
“Star Wars: The Original Trilogy” plays Sunday, June 23rd & Saturday, July 20th
“Star Wars: The Sequel Trilogy” plays Sunday, July 21st
Tickets for the entire screening series, including the Trilogies, go on sale at 12pm this Friday, May 3rd, at drafthouse.com/starwars.

“In December 1977, the original Star Wars opened at the Village 4 in glorious Dolby Stereo,” says John Smith, Senior Film Programmer for Alamo Drafthouse. “Forty-seven years later, we’re finishing the story and sharing the complete saga with Austin audiences.”

Alamo Drafthouse Village’s Star Wars event is one of many special events marking the fiftieth anniversary of Alamo Drafthouse Village. Opened in 1974 by long-defunct Presidio Theatres, the “Village 4” is Austin’s oldest continually operating first-run cinema. Operated by Alamo Drafthouse since 2001, the Village is in the final weeks of a remodel that includes new seats and a brand new lobby design anchored by Video Vortex, a free rental video store powered by the legendary Vulcan Video collection.
