Luke Skywalker begins a journey that will change the galaxy in Star Wars: A New Hope.
Nineteen years after the formation of the evil Galactic Empire, Luke is thrust into the struggle of the Rebel Alliance when he meets Obi-Wan Kenobi, who has lived for years in seclusion on the desert planet of Tatooine.
Obi-Wan begins Luke’s Jedi training as Luke joins him on a daring mission to rescue Rebel leader Princess Leia from the clutches of Darth Vader and the evil Empire.
Since its original theatrical release in 1977, Star Wars has served as a cultural touchstone around the world, connecting cinemagoers of all ages through its blockbuster films and numerous hit television series, to its expanded universe in novels, comic books, videogames, and other storytelling formats.
Star Wars Day, celebrated each year on May the Fourth, has become a global fan holiday offering the chance for audiences to revisit the beloved saga and celebrate its enduring impact on popular culture.
To this end, the Carsey-Wolf Center is proud to present a special May the Fourth screening of Star Wars: A New Hope, accompanied by a critical and historical introduction by Ross Melnick (interim director of the Carsey-Wolf Center), who will discuss the film’s relationship to our yearlong programming series Connectivity.
Costumes are encouraged! However, light sabers and other props must be put away for the duration of the screening.
