M-NET movies and MultiChoice are making African television history with a new pop-up channel featuring all six epic films from the Star Wars Saga. From August 31 until 13 September DStv Premium customers will be transported to a galaxy far, far away with a special channel on M-Net Movies 109.
This groundbreaking two week long addition to the existing nine M-Net Movies channels on DStv is the continent’s very first events channel built around international movies, as well as Africa’s first channel dedicated to all things Star Wars.
Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi and all the other iconic Star Wars characters will wield their light sabers on channel 109 on DStv Premium, which will feature all the Star Wars movies, as well as other programming linked to the franchise.
Each day of the week, starting August 31, the M-Net Movies Star Wars channel will screen one of the blockbusters that dominated global popular culture since its epic release in 1977 – from the cult classic Star Wars: A New Hope with which George Lucas introduced us to Star Wars mythology to 2005’s Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith which was praised for its mind-blowing digital effects.
The movies will be interspersed with animated features and series, featurerettes, documentaries and other delights from the Star Wars universe.
“This is a great coup for us,” says the GM of MultiChoice Namibia, Roger Gertze. “Creating a movie channel dedicated to Star Wars is an initiative that Star Wars fans will enjoy, but we also hope to introduce this iconic programming to a new audience. Pop-up television channels are currently all the rage worldwide and our M-Net Movies Star Wars channel once again shows that we continue to align ourselves with the hottest trends and biggest brands whilst embracing the future of visual entertainment.” With this M-Net Movies Pop-Up channel fans will be able to enjoy all their favorite Star Wars battles, plots and characters before the cinematic release of the brand-new Star Wars film later this year.
