Leading content provider MultiChoice and its sister station M-Net Movies recently announced the birth of a new pop up channel that will feature all six epic films from the popular Star Wars franchise.
Each day of the week, starting from 31 August, the M-Net Movies Star Wars channel will screen one of the blockbusters that has dominated global popular culture since its epic release in 1977. From the cult classic Star Wars: A New Hope with which George Lucas introduced us the Star Wars mythology to 2005’s Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith which was praised for its mind-blowing digital effects.
The movies will play in chronological order of release at 18:30 GMT (6:30pm) as well as at 05:00 GMT (5am) on the same day, while those who missed out on the action during the week can binge-watch the entire galactic saga from beginning to end on Sundays.
The movies will be interspersed with animated features and series, features, documentaries and other delights from the Star Wars universe.
With this M-Net Movies Pop-Up channel fans will be able to enjoy all their favorite Star Wars battles, plots and characters before the cinematic release of the brand-new Star Wars film later this year.
In addition to the Star Wars content available to DStv Premium customers on channel 109, young and old alike can also look forward to a magical Star Wars online experience on www.mnet.tv.
