1hr 36min | PG | Comedy/Sci-fi | USA 

Presented in partnership with Motor City Cinema Society on 16mm film  

 

May the . . .  umm 3rd be with you? 

Close enough.  

The Senate and Motor City Cinema Society are proud to present a special 16mm screening of supreme sci-fi silliness. Don’t miss Spaceballs, starring John Candy, Rick Moranis, Bill Pullman, and the sultan of spoofery himself, Mel Brooks!  

 This classic conglomeration of bits and gags, a very loose retelling of the Star Wars saga, had way better aim than your average spaced out stellar soldier. With accuracy and abandon it blasts away at just about every beloved piece of cosmic intellectual property this side of the galactic divide. It’s enough to make one reconsider their attachment to those “action figures” they keep around.  

 But don’t worry you can always replace your old movie tie-in toys with some Senate merchandise, though we won’t be selling a Senate Theater flamethrower any time soon.  

See you there!

This Spring, in the year 2024, in this galaxy right here, the Senate implores you to join us in saying, “May the fourth be with you!” as we screen the film that started it all. 

Luke Skywalker begins a journey that will change the galaxy in Star Wars Episode IV - A New Hope. Nineteen years after the formation of the Empire, Luke is thrust into the struggle of the Rebel Alliance when he meets Obi-Wan Kenobi, who has lived for years in seclusion on the desert planet of Tatooine. Obi-Wan begin Luke’s Jedi training as Luke joins him on a daring mission to rescue the beautiful Rebel leader Princess Leia from the clutches of Darth Vader and the evil Empire.
