Remember our old "Star Wars on Spike" thread? We all wondered what happened to Star Wars on TV after the sale to Disney and now we finally have news that it will be on TNT (and TBS).

Sweet! Thanks for the info!

 

You mean Star Wars isn't just books?

 

Looks like TBS has the movies for the Halloween weekend (and Halloween night). I turned on the TV and they were just starting them up.

 

Late post, with the Rogue One red carpet premiere this weekend TNT was showing the prequels. Looks like next weekend, Rogue One opening, TNT is showing the OT and PT Saturday and Sunday. So enjoy a whole weekend of Star Wars.

 

Caught the start of TPM on TNT this morning on the TV at the gym. Looks like they're doing an all day marathon today and part of the day tomorrow.

 

Last night I went to TNT, and they did not have any of the Warz playing. In fact, no channel had any Warz stuff. I would have thunk the 40th anniversary would have garnered some special on some channel or at least a repeat of past ones you know?

 

Heh, I did the same thing. Then I thought "oh, it's a holiday weekend...maybe Sat/Sun/Mon marathon". Nope. Just a couple of random afternoon showings next Tuesday.

 

Flipping past and saw a commercial for some random showings on TNT. Revenge of the Sith Sunday at 4PM followed by Empire Strikes Back at 7PM. Totally random.

 

Looks like it's another Star Wars weekend on TNT (I wonder why). Looks like they're having more showings next weekend too

 

i watched Episode IV on sunday afternoon. it was the special edition version, but still better than watching football.

 

Nice!
I'd take the Special Editions over SportsBall any day.
Speaking of, we may have to watch the superbowl if we want to see the Solo trailer-- at least, if internet rumors are to be believed.
Best,
Jammies

 

Nope, can't make me watch SuperSportsBall. I'll just watch it on the internet later.

 

I missed posting up the Star Wars marathon on Easter; they even played The Force Awakens. But all is not lost, they'll be playing a couple of the movies tonight as a lead in to the big SPORTball game. I guess they want to have as big an audience as possible leading into the SPORT show.

 

Another marathon weekend on TNT. But maybe not for much longer if rumors are to be believed?
