Start your podracer engines! Star Wars: The Phantom Menace celebrates 25 years with a return to cinemas on May 3, with tickets are on sale now at Fandango.com — and available everywhere tickets are sold.

In addition to battle droids, podracers, Jar Jar, Darth Maul, and all of the Episode I goodness, fans will also be treated to an exclusive look at The Acolyte, the upcoming Disney+ series, as part of The Phantom Menace screenings.

Also in celebration of the 25th anniversary of The Phantom Menace, fans will have the chance to experience the entire Skywalker Saga in theaters this May the 4th, also known as Star Wars Day. Tickets are also on sale now, and you can visit Fandango.com for more information.

To coincide with the rerelease of The Phantom Menace, artist Matt Ferguson has created a beautiful new poster, which you can see here.

The Phantom Menace, Episode I of the Star Wars saga and the first film in the prequel trilogy, originally arrived in cinemas on May 19, 1999, following tremendous hype. Written and directed by George Lucas, it introduced the world to young Anakin Skywalker, Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, Queen Padmé Amidala, and the evil Sith duo, Darth Sidious and Darth Maul. The Phantom Menace would be a landmark in the development of visual effects and become one of the highest grossing movies of all time. For more on the innovative film, check out StarWars.com’s in-depth oral history of the film, which features interviews with Lucas, John Knoll, Doug Chiang, Ahmed Best, and more.

Your focus determines your reality — so make sure to get your tickets, and we’ll see you there!

Stay tuned to StarWars.com for more on The Phantom Menace’s 25th anniversary.
