The Star Wars New Year's Eve tradition is a beloved way for fans to ring in the New Year by watching any Star Wars movie timed perfectly so that an iconic moment occurs exactly at the stroke of midnight.

Which Star Wars movie should I watch?
You can choose from all 11 Star Wars movies: the Original Trilogy (Episodes IV-VI), Prequel Trilogy (Episodes I-III), Sequel Trilogy (Episodes VII-IX), plus Rogue One and Solo. Popular choices include the Death Star explosions, Vader's hallway scene, "I have the high ground," lightsaber duels, and more. Pick your favorite iconic moment and we'll calculate the perfect timing!
When do I start the movie?
The start time varies based on which movie, moment, and version you choose. For the classic Death Star explosion in A New Hope, you'll typically start around 9:58 PM to 10:02 PM. For longer moments in other films, you might start earlier. Our calculator automatically determines the exact start time for your specific selections!
What if I need to pause or start late?
That's the beauty of our live timer! Unlike static calculators, our timer constantly updates to show exactly where you should be in the movie at any given moment. Need a bathroom break? Pause the movie, and when you return, just check the "Current Movie Position" timer and skip ahead to sync back up. Started late? Fast-forward to the displayed timestamp. It's that easy!
How accurate does the timing need to be?
While it's fun to be precise, don't stress too much! Most iconic moments last several seconds, and being within 5-10 seconds of midnight still creates an amazing experience. The key is starting at approximately the right time and enjoying the buildup to midnight!
What if I'm in a different timezone?
Our timer automatically adjusts to your local timezone! It will calculate midnight based on your device's clock, so whether you're celebrating in New York, Los Angeles, London, or Tokyo, you'll get the correct start time for your local New Year's Eve celebration.
