The latest TV Guide is now listing two Star Wars shows on the Cartoon Network channel ...

• Star Wars: The Clone Wars
  9:30pm, Saturdays and Sundays (starting 9 June)

• Lego Star Wars
  6:00pm, Tuesday, 12 June and Thursday, 21 June
  This looks like a half-hour one-off (the Padawan special perhaps) since it's not advertised on Tuesday, 19 June. For those who like the Lego animated shows, there's also Ninjago in various timeslots.

Of course, as usual with Sky's listings (even in their own Skywatch magazine), it's anyone's guess if these actually play as scheduled or not.

According to the latest TV Guide, Sky TV's History channel is again playing the Empire of Dreams documentary this weekend ...

Star Wars: Empire of Dreams
History (channel 73)
9:30pm - 11:30pm, Saturday, 28 July
6:30am - 8:30am, Sunday, 29 July

'Empire of Dreams' is a good one...worth checking out if you haven't seen it (although most probably have, as it was on one of the OT DVD sets). I was lucky enough to discuss it with its film-maker, Kevin Burns, back in '04 - http://swnz.dr-maul.com/moretext.php?request=bio_kburns .

I just had a look on the SKY guide app, and can't see Empire of dreams playing. Maybe there's been a schedule change?

I did however find a doco called 'Star Wars: A History' playing on History channel August 4th at 9:30pm

That wouldn't surprise me in the least. Sky is even more hopeless than the other channels at actually showing what is advertised - some channels are incredibly bad. Numerous times I've tried to watch something advertised and it has been changed. That last lot of advertised Clone Wars shows above never turned up either.

Sky's own SkyWatch magazine is worthless - according to that, in the Saturday evening timeslot the History channel is playing the Star Wars: The Legacy Revealed documentary while in the Sunday morning timeslot there's Star Wars: Empire of Dreams.

Even their on-screen guide often says one show while playing something completely different!

And the fools in charge wonder why more and more poeple are not bothering to watch with broadcast TV.
