A host of acclaimed adventures and beloved blasts from the past are returning to Vue Swidon providing film fans and families an opportunity the catch their favourites on the big screen.
An iconic series that shaped the future of the big screen blockbuster, the original George Lucas directed Star Wars trilogy, including A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and The Return of the Jedi will all be showing this week at Vue.
This sci-fi tale from a galaxy far, far away starts on the 22 December with Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope introducing us to the world of Luke Skywalker who must begin to awake his connection to the force and team up with iconic characters such as Han Solo, Chewbacca and R2D2 to take down the nefarious Darth Vader and rescue Princess Leia.
Across the following two days, budding jedis can enjoy the space-faring adventures continue with the legendary sequel Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back on 23 December and the Death Star defying thrills of its epic conclusion in Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi on December 24.
For those looking for an adventure a little closer to home, the entirety of the Indiana Jones saga of films will be screening throughout the start of the year in January. Also starring legendary actor Harrison Ford as the titular Dr Jones, our heroic lead must travel the globe, exploring ancient ruins for mythical treasures and face hordes of foes – both human and otherworldly.
Starting with a New Year’s Day screening of Raiders of the Lost Ark, which is repeated on the 5 January, fans of this fabled film series can revisit their favourite moments all the way through to the most recent adventure in last year’s Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny on 2 February.
For younger film fans, Vue will also be bringing back Sid The Sloth, Manny the Mammoth, Diego the Sabertooth Tiger and Scrat the Squirrel as the entire Ice Age series also returns to mark the winter months.
