Sky Deutschland to reopen Star Wars channel

July 12, 2017 10.34 Europe/London By Jörn Krieger

German pay-TV broadcaster Sky Deutschland will offer Star Wars fans a pop-up channel for the third time.

Like in 2014 and 2016, Sky Cinema Star Wars HD will show all movies of the Star Wars franchise as well as featurettes, documentaries and Sky original productions providing a look behind the scenes of the space saga.

The channel will replace Sky Cinema Hits from August 28 until September 10, 2017. The highlight is the exclusive first TV screening of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story on September 3 at 20.15 CET.

On Sky On Demand and Sky Go, the programmes can be watched on demand and on the go while non-Sky subscribers can gain access through OTT service Sky Ticket.
