It was a battle but I did get to see the two Star Wars programs that aired last night. Of course, I didn't get to see them the first time around so had to watch when they repeated. Propped my eyelids open with toothpicks but it was worth it.
The first program, Star Wars Tech, was mostly about the various weapons and technologies that were used in the films and how they could be explained. The other, Star Wars: The Legacy Revealed, was comparing Star Wars to other things, the Bible, mythologies, etc. Luke as the Hero, the battle between father and son, the strong female characters of Padme and Leia, the mentors. Nothing really new that hasn't been said somewhere else but I enjoyed it anyway. Loved seeing the different scenes all put together, made me want to watch all the movies again.
I think the only thing I missed the past week was the biography on Mark Hamill. I'm hoping it will be repeated.
