Of course that original Star Wars movie should not have the News Corp version of the 20th Century Fox logo. I hate movies being changed.

So you hate the “Special” Editions of the original Star Wars trilogy, right?
Yes, as the originals were perfect.

Nine should thank Seven for airing Star Wars: The Force Awakens next week, as it means fans will be able to watch all eight movies (so far) on FTA.
Timed to coincide with the release of Frozen II in cinemas on November 28. It could also be the last time Frozen airs on Seven.

I thought Nine were premiering this, or did I just imagine that?
Nine is premiering The Last Jedi.
Whoops, I forgot The Force Awakens has actually already premiered (hence Seven’s rights from their previous Disney deal). Premiered in November 2017 but hadn’t aired since earlier last year.

Quite a few FTA movie premieres on Nine next week.
Tuesday 26 November - Thor: Ragnarok (from Disney)
Friday 29 November - The Mummy (2017) starring Tom Cruise (from Universal)
Saturday 30 November - Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (from Sony) -> the sequel The Next Level will be released in cinemas on Boxing Day.
Big get for Nine, been wondering all year who’d get rights. Was theatrically released here at the end of 2017. This’ll rate massive, it was so good and surprised many for a remake of the original Robin Williams classic. Huge box office, critical acclaim and public loved it.

Note the last screencap. Nine up to its old tricks again, splitting the movie into 2 parts for classification purposes.
