There has never been a better opportunity for fans old, and no doubt new, to bring themselves right up to light-speed and watch the series ahead of the theatrical release, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, later this year.
Ian Lewis, Director of Sky Movies, commented: “As a massive Star Wars fan I personally can’t wait to rediscover one of the most enduring franchises of all time. What excites me even more, however, is that there will be a whole new generation of Sky Movies and NOW TV customers who will be able to discover the Star Wars Saga for the first time; an incredibly envious position to be in!”
