‘Star Wars: Return of the Jedi’ In Concert Comes To Manila

Film Concerts PH returns to a galaxy far, far away with Star Wars: Return of the Jedi in Concert, happening on September 5 and 6, 2026, at the Theatre at Solaire, in Parañaque City.

Fans of the beloved space opera franchise will experience the epic conclusion of the original trilogy, featuring legendary film composer John Williams’ Grammy Award-winning score, performed by the 85-member Filharmonika Orchestra under the direction of maestro Gerard Salonga.

Originally released in May 1983, Return of the Jedi provided the epic conclusion of a trilogy that has shaped a generation of science fiction and film fans. Aside from the film’s most iconic moments, its RIAA Gold-certified soundtrack, featuring eleven songs composed and conducted by Williams and performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, is equally memorable and beloved.

In the film, Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, and Han Solo reunite and join a rebel fleet to finally take down the evil Empire, together with their newfound furry friends — the Ewoks. All the while, Emperor Palpatine orders his troops aboard the new Death Star above the moon of Endor. The film also features Luke and Darth Vader in a duel of the ages.

Pre-sale access begins on May 8 at 10:00 AM, exclusive for the Film Concerts PH community members. Public ticket selling starts on May 19 at 12:00 PM via Ticketworld. Tickets range from PHP 1,999 (Stormtrooper) to PHP 6,999 (Emperor).
