The deal includes the network premiere for five of the six original Star Wars films, last year’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens, this year’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and the next three yet-to-be-released films, including Star Wars: Episode VIII, the Han Solo spin-off, and Star Wars: Episode IX.
TNT is set to premiere last year’s blockbuster Star Wars: The Force Awakens in early 2018, followed in 2019 with this year’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
The movies will also air in December, in conjunction with Disney’s theatrical release of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, directed by Gareth Edwards, opens in theaters on December 16.
