In November of 2005, Spike TV purchased the exclusive rights to air the Star Wars movies. Last weekend Episodes 1 - III aired Friday - Sunday. This weekend beginning tonight at 7 p.m. central, Episode IV (you know...the one from 1977) will air. Saturday they will air Episode IV at 4 p.m. followed by Episode V (Empire Strikes Back ...my favorite) at 7 p.m. On Sunday, Episode V again at 4 p.m. followed by Episode VI (Return of the Jedi) at 7 p.m. Visit Spike TV's website here for a nifty trailer and more info.
Last weekend the first three went head to head with the Lord of the Rings trilogy Friday - Sunday on TNT. Check this story to see which trilogy came out on top...I think you can guess...unless you're a Ringer Geek, you might be in denial. :) (Look at this Star Wars geek smack talkin'!)
So if you've never seen the classic Star Wars trilogy, this is an opportunity to catch up. If you've never watched with your kids, get some popcorn and school your children on this classic story of good vs. evil. And yes...even though I've seen it many times...I just might flip it on too. It just never gets old for me.
Enjoy!
