Cosm, an immersive entertainment technology company, announced a multiyear, multifilm partnership with The Walt Disney Co. to present the original “Star Wars” in its signature domed venues. The collaboration will debut in March, positioned to coincide with the film’s 50th anniversary milestone later in the year.
The immersive presentation will utilize Cosm’s distinctive 87-foot diameter domes equipped with 12,000-resolution displays and advanced sound systems. The film will be displayed in a large rectangle at the dome’s center while surrounding screens transform the environment into iconic “Star Wars” locations including the planets Tatooine and Yavin IV, as well as the Death Star. Additional visual effects will create the sensation of lightspeed travel and other key scenes from the original film. Cosm is collaborating with Lucasfilm, Industrial Light and Magic, and creative studio MakeMake to develop the customized visual and audio components.
This represents Cosm’s sixth theatrical partnership with major Hollywood studios. The company previously partnered with Warner Bros. for films including “The Matrix,” “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” and “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory,” with a Universal’s “Shrek” immersive screening launching in December. The domes feature stadium-style seating with booths and tables positioned to maximize the peripheral viewing experience.
Cosm will enhance the theatrical offering with a themed menu tailored to the “Star Wars” universe, following the model used for previous film collaborations. The company has positioned itself as a destination for fan communities, combining live sports events, theatrical releases, and experiential cinema. Disney is marking the “Star Wars” milestone with broader initiatives including merchandise launches, theatrical re-releases, and conventions as part of the franchise’s semicentennial celebration.
