Gentle sabers, digicam, motion!
The Star Wars cinematic universe is returning to Seattle in an enormous manner on the massive display in September with a two-week celebration of your complete movie franchise at SIFF Cinema Downtown.
The marathon screening will function 11 titles, from the unique 1977 traditional “A New Hope” to the standalone Star Wars tales “Rogue One” and “Solo.”
The primary weekend, beginning Sept. 5, will present the movies in chronological order, “from Anakin’s podracing days to Rey’s closing rise,” SIFF mentioned on its web site.
The second weekend will function the movies as they had been launched and first seen by the world. “Relive the surprising reveals and the unique trilogy magic as they unfolded throughout a long time,” SIFF mentioned.
Beforehand referred to as the Cinerama, the theater initially opened in 1963, only a yr after Seattle hosted the World’s Truthful. It was rescued by the late Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen in 1988, and put via a multi-million-dollar renovation earlier than reopening in 1999 as a high-tech vacation spot for films.
The theater has performed host to much-hyped Star Wars occasions and movie premieres up to now, together with in 2015 for a full-day screening of the franchise’s seven movies on the time.
SIFF Cinema Downtown took on its new identify in 2023 after Seattle Worldwide Movie Competition, a nonprofit movie and training group, bought the theater from the property of Allen and reopened it after it was shuttered throughout the pandemic.
Tickets are on sale now for “Star Wars: The Final Cinematic Marathon” and priced at $22 per movie ($19 for SIFF members; $21 seniors, college students; $17 little one).
