    Is anybody showing the older films on television before the force awakens is released?

    Sky Movies have bought the rights for the lot. It's the only place you can see them on TV now I believe.

    Back in the mid to late 80s and into the 90s, when the franchise was seen to be finished by the mainstream, they films would be on all over the Christmas, both here and the UK, probably cheap for the terrestrial networks to buy in.
    These days, more expensive, no bucks, no Buck Rogers, or Han Solo

    Sky Movies are launching a Sky Movies Star Wars channel on the 11th I think. A pointless exercise for 6 movies.
