Every 'Star Wars' movie is coming to TV in massive $200 million deal
Disney
According to a press release on Wednesday, TNT will begin airing the original six "Star Wars" films over six consecutive nights, starting Tuesday, September 20.
TNT is set to premiere last year's blockbuster "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" in early 2018, followed in 2019 by this year's "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story."
Deadline reported that the deal cost Turner an estimated $200 million.
In addition, Turner owns the rights to "Star Wars: A New Hope," the 1977 film that started the franchise, through a separate deal with 20th Century Fox. That makes Turner the only company with basic cable rights to all 11 titles in the collection.
