Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of ‘Star Wars’ With Two Rad New Posters

To mark half a century of 'Star Wars,' Lucasfilm unveiled a wave of limited-edition merch and events, including new 'A New Hope' posters you can admire and assemble with Lego.

If you can believe it, Star Wars turns 50 next year. We already knew that A New Hope and Ryan Gosling’s upcoming movie, Star Wars: Starfighter, will receive IMAX 70mm releases next year. But wait, there’s more. To further mark the occasion, Lucasfilm shared a smorgasbord of merchandise coming next year. Chief among the products are a brand new A New Hope poster you can gawk at on your wall and one you can build with Lego bricks.

Earlier today, the official Star Wars website announced lots of exciting new Star Wars merch and content coming in 2027. Among the treasure trove of limited-edition action figures and Disney Parks and Cruise Line fan events is the theatrical re-release of A New Hope on February 19. As if a celebration logo accompanied by a newly orchestrated score by John Williams in advance of the film’s digital and film releases in IMAX and 4DX weren’t enough to make the original Star Wars film theatrical re-release a can’t-miss event, Lucasfilm also unveiled a new poster by Matt Ferguson. According to the site, the poster pays homage to the original A New Hope key visual from 1977. Take a gander.

Not to be outdone, the folks over at Lego also unveiled their upcoming Star Wars set: a buildable A New Hope movie poster.
