And that's the word from Discovery Networks, which is airing specials this month tying into the premiere of the sixth and final "Star Wars" film, "Episode III: Revenge of the Sith."
The cross-promotion ties three Discovery networks with Lucasfilm offering behind-the-scenes peeks of the film.
The specials kick off with "Science Of Star Wars: Man And Machine" on Monday, May 16 from 8-9 p.m. Up next on Tuesday, May 17 from 8-9 p.m. is "Science Of Star Wars: Space Cowboys," a special that gives viewers a sneak peek into hovercrafts and the other new hot rods of the future. Lastly, the future of modern warfare is unveiled Wednesday, May 18 from 8-9 p.m. with "Science Of Star Wars: War, Weaponry And The Force."
Other specials include two on Discovery's Animal Planet, which should bring in Wookie-fans with "Animal Icons: Star Wars Creatures," airing on Wednesday, May 18 from 9-10 p.m. That's followed by "Science Of Star Wars," a three-part special hosted by actors Anthony Daniels and Kenny Baker (who play C3PO and his sidekick, R2-D2, respectively).
The movie itself is being released to screens on May 19.
