C-3PO and
R2-D2 have been tasked by
Luke Skywalker to chronicle the connections of the
Star Wars saga, and you can see the efforts of this endeavor during the broadcast of the
Star Wars films on television.
The FOX network will be airing Episodes V, VI and I of the Star Wars saga, with Episode IV appearing in syndication in various markets. Each of the movies will be accompanied by a brand new introductory segment entitled Star Wars: Connections -- With R2-D2 and C-3PO. Anthony Daniels reprises his role in the golden suit, accompanied with the ever-faithful and ever-quarrelsome R2-D2, to record the complete history of the Skywalker family.
Each segment compiles clips from Episodes I, IV, V and VI, and includes exclusive footage of next month's Attack of the Clones. C-3PO explains how the characters tie the series together into one epic story.
Check your local listings for broadcast dates and times. A New Hope airs in syndication, The Empire Strikes Back airs on FOX on April 25, Return of the Jedi on May 2, and The Phantom Menace on May 9.
