STAR WARS MARATHON
TNT, 10:48 a.m. ET
With a new chapter in the Star Wars saga invading theaters, TNT is using the occasion to repeat the first six films in the canon, now relabeled and consistently numbered episodes I through VI. (The original Star Wars movie from 1977, for example, is now known as Episode IV: A New Hope, while the 2015 Star Wars release, The Force Awakens, is considered the start of a new sequel trilogy, and is numbered Episode VII.) The first VI shows are televised today by TNT, starting at 10:48 a.m. ET with 1999’s Episode I: The Phantom Menace, starring Natalie Portman (pictured). By the time 1983’s Return of the Jedi is over, it’ll be 4:28 a.m. ET Sunday morning. The entire movie saga takes 18 hours to watch. If you’re married, get permission before committing to such a mammoth binge viewing venture, because marriages have broken up over less. And if that happens anyway, as a result of watching all six Star Wars films, all I have to say is: May divorce be with you.
