STAR WARS MINI-MARATHON
Spike, 6:00 p.m. ET
Spike is working through most of the Star Wars canon this weekend, beginning tonight with the first two films in the series. Not the first two released, but the first two entries in the prequel trilogy. Star Wars Episode I – The Phantom Menace, from 1999, begins at 6 p.m. ET, and Star Wars Episode II – Attack of the Clones, from 2002, begins at 9:15 p.m. ET. Watch the first film, if for no other reason, to catch the then 17-year-old Natalie Portman as Queen Padme Amidala.
