Great news for all UK STAR WARS fans, and particularly dedicated UK fans of THE CLONE WARS TV series who have so far not gotten to see the final sixth season- The Lost Missions. SKY MOVIES has purchased the entire back catalogue of movies and TV series, plus the all-new STAR WARS REBELS series, for exclusive screenings later in the year.
Here's the exciting press release:
This summer, Star Wars

to all six Star Wars Saga feature
films, alongside a wealth of additional features and programming; kicking off

The collection will see the six feature films - Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, Star Wars:
Attack of the Clones. Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, Star Wars: A New Hope, Star
Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Star
Wars: The Return of the Jedi - sit
alongside the two animated Star Wars series, Star Wars Rebels and Star Wars: The Clone Wars, as well as a number of Lucasfilm specials and

Sky Movies will celebrate with a 48 hour Star Wars marathon on May the 4th (also
known as international Star Wars Day)
and 5th, where customers will be able to watch them in episodic
order, as well as release order on both days.
