There's no Star Wars movies playing this Christmas :( (we'll have to wait and see for New Year's week and Summer Holiday period).

BUT, for those with Sky TV there is a documentary playing on the History Channel, although it doesn't say which documentary it actually is (the description sounds familiar, so it's probably a repeat).
Star Wars
An in-depth look at what makes George Lucas' space epic Star Wars an international phenomenon.
Sky TV History Channel (#73)
8:30pm - 10:30pm, Saturday, 24 Deceber, 2011
4:30am - 6:30am, Sunday, 25 December, 2011
Those are the only two timeslots advertised in the latest TV Guide ... of course, Sky TV's listings are sometimes not accurate (even in the on-screen information!).

No need to rely on TVNZ or SKY, when you have a copy on DVD or Blu-Ray :victory:

"Or"?!?! That's a strange word to use.

Real fans ;) should have the movies on all the various releases of VHS, DVD and Blu-ray ... as well as the novelisations, comic books, young reader books, vinyl LPs, cassette tapes, downloads, ... :)

ah, the good old VHS days. I had the box set of 4,5 & 6 back in the very early 90's. Not the Special Edition, but the 1990 release set.
But when I came back from my OE, the set had mysteriously disappeared....

I liked the old version, before they started tweaking audio & video. Removing characters & editing in new ones.
