The Force is definitely strong with SpikeTV. The network, which recently launched their very own Star Wars website, is currently airing all six Star Wars films. This includes the broadcast premiere of Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith.
Phantom Menace aired last night and tonight, Spike will air Episode II: Attack of the Clones. The original three Star Wars films will air next weekend.

Personally, I’m not a huge fan of the prequels. I saw each of them when they were in theaters but haven’t rewatched any of them since. I guess when it comes to Star Wars, my heart belongs to the original three films.
