A distress hologram from the captive Princess Leia (the late, great Carrie Fisher) sets in motion the interplanetary series of events which have made George Lucas’ thrilling space saga the stuff of cinematic legend.
Her only hope is Tatooine-bound farm boy Luke (Mark Hamill) who, under the wise tutorship of the mysterious Ben Kenobi (Alec Guinness), and with the help of charismatic smuggler Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and his Wookie partner-in-crime Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew), will rise to become the force-balancing hero capable of bringing down the evil Empire, presided over by the tyrannical Darth Vader (voiced by the booming James Earl Jones).
May the force be with you, as we invite you to join us for this rare opportunity to see this generation-defining space opera on the majesty of the big screen.
