    I only had a quick look, but there doesn't seem to by anything listed
    on the New Zealand IMAX schedule yet ... mind you, given the horrendous
    price of IMAX tickets, you would need to sell three internal organs to
    pay for it.


    Star Wars Day Imax Event Gets Exciting Details,
    New Mandalorian and Grogu Look
    -----------------------------------------------
    Lucasfilm has announced some major plans for this year's Star Wars Day.
    The studio confirmed that it will host free special look fan events for
    Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu at select Imax theaters around the
    world on May the 4th.

    "The evil Empire has fallen, and Imperial warlords remain scattered
    throughout the galaxy. As the fledgling New Republic works to protect
    everything the Rebellion fought for, they have enlisted the help of
    legendary Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin and his young apprentice
    Grogu," reads the official synopsis.

    What can fans expect from the Star Wars Day Imax event?
    Fans attending the Star Wars Day event for The Mandalorian and Grogu
    movie will be treated to more than 25 minutes of exclusive,
    never-before-seen footage, and special fan giveaways, including a

    fun surprises for fans during the event.
