'Fans Premiere' of 'Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith'

All six Star Wars films to be screened together three days before Revenge of the Sith goes on general release.

Apr 20 2005

If you’ve got the stamina for it, British fans are being offered the chance to see all six ‘Star Wars’ films in a row next month.

Not only that, but the screening will take place on Monday, May 16, three days before 'Episode III – Revenge of the Sith' goes on general release.

The marathon session will kick off at 7am with the original 'Star Wars', followed by 'The Empire Strikes Back', 'Return of the Jedi', 'The Phantom Menace' and 'Attack of the Clones' before finally culminating with the ‘fans premiere’ of the new film.

The screening will take place at the UCI Empire Leicester Square, while the official UK premiere, which will be attended by George Lucas, Hayden Christenden and Ian McDiarmid amongst others, will take place next door at the Odeon that evening.

So if you think your bum can take it, tickets – or ‘Galactic Passes’ – for the marathon go on sale on Monday, April 25 at 9am, and will be available from the Empire Leicester Square box office on 08700 102 030 or from the UCI website
