* * * * * * * *
LONDON'S LEICESTER SQUARE TO CELEBRATE THE FIRST SCREENING IN THE WORLD
OF THE ENTIRE STAR WARS SAGA!
UK PREMIERE OF STAR WARS: EPISODE III REVENGE OF THE SITH
ON MAY 16TH
AT THE ODEON LEICESTER SQUARE
WILL BE THE GRAND FINALE IN A UNIQUE DAY LONG LEICESTER SQUARE CELEBRATION OF THE STAR WARS SAGA
LONDON (April 19) – The Force will be strong in London's Leicester Square on May 16 as Star Wars fever grips the capital for an unprecedented day of events celebrating the entire Star Wars saga, culminating in the U.K. premiere of the eagerly awaited Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, to be attended by writer-director George Lucas and the stars of the movie.
Fans will want to prepare to have their lightsabres out at dawn, fighting to get a perfect seat for a world exclusive: all six episodes of the Star Wars saga presented back-to-back in a once in a lifetime "Star Wars Marathon" at UCI Empire, Leicester Square. Beginning at 7 a.m. with Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope and ending with an evening public premiere of Revenge of the Sith, the entire saga will be shown in a single day for more than a thousand lucky fans.
And that's just the beginning! The day will be filled with never-to-be repeated activities presented by Lucasfilm Ltd and Twentieth Century Fox – open to the general public, so everyone will have the chance to experience the galaxy's most exciting, action-packed celebration of the Star Wars saga.
At Leicester Square's VUE and Odeon West End Cinemas, individually ticketed performances of Episodes I, II, IV, V and VI of the Star Wars saga will screen throughout the day.
Star Wars fans will also be able to attend special free performances of unforgettable Star Wars music presented by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra; other surprise activities are also planned. The 501st UK Garrison of Stormtroopers will be on duty all day to ensure order is upheld in the Square.
"Revenge of the Sith is a remarkable movie, and this extraordinary celebration reflects the fun and excitement that are the hallmarks of Star Wars,"said the movie's producer, Rick McCallum. "The Star Wars movies have a strong connection to the United Kingdom, so it's very fitting to hold this one-of-a-kind event here in London."
The culmination of Star Wars "Celebration Day" will be the UK premiere at the Odeon, Leicester Square with expected attendance by Lucas, McCallum and stars Hayden Christensen (Anakin Skywalker), Ian McDiarmid (Palpatine), Anthony Daniels (C-3PO) and Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca), along with other celebrity guests.
