The Star Wars saga continues as new heroes and galactic legends go on an epic adventure, unlocking mysteries of the Force and shocking revelations of the past.

Celebrate Star Wars Day with Rey, Poe, Finn, and all the adorable porgs you can handle at our marathon of the Star Wars sequel trilogy! A continuation of George Lucas' culture-shifting space opera, this trio of blockbusters blew audiences away when it debuted in 2015 with J.J. Abrams' The Force Awakens, shocked fans with Rian Johnson's uncompromising and thrilling 2017 follow-up, and ended in 2019 with Abrams back at the helm for its epic conclusion. One $20 ticket gets you access to all three films. Ticketholders can come and go as they please during the marathon, plus snacks, drinks in resealable/enclosed containers (there are no cupholders in the Cinema!), and finger foods that do not emit a strong odor will be allowed for this special event. Alcohol, cigarettes, electronic cigarettes, and illicit drugs are prohibited at IU Cinema.

The Skywalker saga continues as the heroes of Star Wars: The Force Awakens join the galactic legends in an epic adventure that unlocks new mysteries of the Force and shocking revelations of the past. Rey has found the legendary Luke Skywalker, hoping to be trained in the ways of the Force. Meanwhile, the First Order seeks to destroy the remnants of the Resistance and rule the galaxy unopposed.

"Easily its most exciting iteration in decades—the first flat-out terrific Star Wars movie since 1980’s The Empire Strikes Back. It seizes upon Lucas’ original dream of finding a pop vessel for his obsessions—Akira Kurosawa epics, John Ford westerns, science-fiction serials—and fulfills it with a verve and imagination all its own." — Justin Chang, L.A. Times

"While there are some solid nuggets of deep-cut Easter eggs for hardcore fans, what is so extraordinary about The Last Jedi is that this is the first post-Lucas Star Wars film that feels free to dance to its own beat." — Jordan Hoffman, The Guardian

"The movie is smart, stirring, and deeply exciting, but more than anything, it is surprising. This is a Star Wars movie that plays with your assumptions and upends them, but it never betrays the story, characters, and ethos at the series’ core. It expands the idea of what a Star Wars movie can be. It’ll knock you over." — Will Leitch, Paste Magazine
