Its better that than in 2003 when they used to show the godfather like every weekend and let you know about it well in advance over and over and over again........

Does Spike really have to show a Star Wars marathon every holiday? ? Holiday? I thought they showed them every weekend.

I think they've run the Star Wars movies more than HBO has run Aces: Iron Eagle III and Ladybugs (and that's saying something).

Thing is, Star Wars is a great draw thanks to it ridiculous number of fans and Spike knows that. Plus I think they paid some outrageous amount to get the rights so they are trying to get their moneys worth. This. I'm pretty sure they paid out the ass for the TV broadcast rights so they're milking it for all it's worth. And it does always do really well for them, so why not? Hell, I usually watch it everytime because Spike is one of the few channels I get at work.

If they actually played the ORIGINAL original trilogy, I'd make it a point to get a Nielson box and watch Spike whenever they aired them. As it stands, I have no desire to see ghostly Hayden Christensen give Luke a creepy pervert stare as the grand culmination of the saga.

I think 90% of Spike's airtime is either Star Wars movies or CSI. Kinda like USA being 90% NCIS and House. I like to get really wasted until they blur together. CSI: Cloud City Lando: I guess he should've let the wookie win. YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! I refuse to let this be no sold.

It used to be they showed James Bond movies every holiday. I think they must have lost the rights to those or something.
What really bugs me is that they refer to the SW movies as a "marathon" but they don't actually air them back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back. If they really ran them as a marathon, I would go over to my friend's house and we would sit through all of them just for the sake of doing it.
