STAR WARS: The Ultimate Cinematic Marathon
A two-week Galactic Celebration at SIFF Cinema Downtown
September 5–18, 2025
It's time to once again experience Star Wars on the big screen, in a galaxy that's just a quick jump to hyperspace away — at SIFF Cinema Downtown, home to one of Washington’s best screens for you and all your fellow bounty hunters, and a state-of-the-art Dolby sound system.
This September, the Force awakens in Seattle like never before. SIFF invites you to the ultimate Star Wars binge — a two-week celebration featuring the entire Skywalker Saga, plus both standalone Star Wars Stories: Rogue One and Solo. Whether you were there for the original 1977 release of A New Hope or you’ve been training to dodge spoilers like a Jedi dodges Order 66, this is your moment.
- Weekend 1: Chronological Order — Jump into the saga in narrative sequence, from Anakin’s podracing days to Rey’s final rise.
- Weekend 2: Release Order — The way the world first saw it. Relive the shocking reveals and the original trilogy magic as they unfolded across decades.
Each film gets prime-time treatment, and whether you’re a diehard Sith, an undercover Rebel, or just here for the droids, we’ve got you covered. Lightsabers will hum. Chewie will roar. Palpatine will return. And you? You’ll experience it all in a cinema that treats this saga with the reverence of the Jedi Archives and the spectacle of the Death Star finale.
This is more than a marathon, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage for fans across the stars.

$22 ($19 SIFF Members; $21 Seniors, Students; $17 Child)
