Lucasfilm says Cosm will show a Shared Reality version of the restored 1977 Star Wars inside an 87-foot LED dome starting in March. No headsets, and Cosm hasn't posted tickets or prices yet.
Star Wars is getting the giant-dome treatment for its 50th birthday.
Lucasfilm announced Thursday, Nov. 12, that Cosm will debut a Shared Reality version of the theatrical rerelease of Star Wars (1977) at "select locations nationwide" starting in March 2027. StarWars.com said guests will step inside Cosm's "12K+ immersive LED Dome," with themed environments and custom food and drinks.
That puts the dome version about a month after the restored movie hits regular theaters on Friday, Feb. 19, 2027.
Cosm's domes are 87 feet across, Attractions Magazine reported, and the picture wraps around the audience. No VR headsets or special glasses needed, which is good news for anyone whose kid refuses to keep 3D glasses on.
What is Star Wars at Cosm?
Lucasfilm hasn't shared footage or a run time yet. Cosm hasn't confirmed whether it'll screen the entire film, Attractions Magazine noted, though its other movie events have.
Cosm's past Shared Reality titles follow a pattern, according to attractions industry site Blooloop:
The movie plays as-is. The film runs in its original 16:9 frame in the middle of the dome. Visuals, sound and story aren't changed.
The world keeps going. Custom screen extensions carry the movie's setting past the edges of the frame, around and above the audience.
The room changes with the story. For IT, the dome shifted from Derry's streets to the woods and then the sewers.
Food comes to your seat. Each title gets a themed menu, with courses timed to scenes.
So for Star Wars, expect Tatooine sand and Death Star hallways all around you. Cosm and Lucasfilm haven't said that yet, but that's how the format works.
Which Cosm locations will show Star Wars?
Lucasfilm only said "select locations nationwide." Cosm currently runs four U.S. venues, according to Attractions Magazine:
Los Angeles
Dallas
Atlanta
Detroit
A Cleveland venue is planned for 2027, Attractions Magazine reported. It isn't clear yet whether it'll open in time for Star Wars.
None are in Orlando or Anaheim. For Disneyland trips, the Los Angeles venue is the closest option.
How much are Star Wars Cosm tickets?
Cosm hasn't announced prices, dates or an on-sale time. Attractions Magazine pointed fans to cosm.com for ticket news.
Past Cosm movies came with a themed menu served to your seat, Blooloop reported. If the kids spot food timed to the Cantina scene, budget for it.
What other movies has Cosm shown?
Star Wars joins a growing list, per Blooloop and NBCUniversal:
The Matrix (June 2025): the launch title. Nearly every early showing sold out in two weeks, and the run was extended twice.
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (November 2025): Cosm's first family pick.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2026): opened the Atlanta and Detroit venues.
IT (August 2026): the format's first horror title.
Shrek (announced Sept. 17, 2026): Cosm's first animated movie, for the film's 25th anniversary, with Shrek's Swamp and Dragon's Keep wrapping around the dome.
Star Wars is the first Lucasfilm title on that list.
How else can you see Star Wars (1977) in 2027?
The regular rerelease comes first. StarWars.com said the restored film returns on thousands of screens on Feb. 19, in formats including IMAX 70mm, Digital IMAX, 4DX and D-BOX. Tickets aren't on sale yet.
That's one piece of Lucasfilm's year-long 50th anniversary plan. A new Disney+ documentary, The Hero Awakens, streams May 4, 2027. Star Wars: The Experience opens at The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia on Feb. 13, and Star Wars Celebration hits Los Angeles April 1 to 4.
The original movie is rated PG and runs about two hours. That's a long time to stare at a dome ceiling, but Cosm's audiences have handled The Matrix, so a farm boy from Tatooine should be fine.
