When I had heard the rumor of Star Wars: The Legacy Revealed on The History Channel (before it was confirmed), I signed up to get e-mail updates of their program schedule. I just received the schedule for the remainder of May and noticed that airing just prior to The Legacy Revealed will be Star Wars Tech at 8:00 pm. See below for a description of Star Wars Tech from the e-mail. Also notice that The Legacy Revealed will be re-broadcast on Tuesday the 29th along with some other "space" related programming.

8-9pm -- Star Wars Tech - Take a look at the technology shown throughout the six Star Wars films and examine their viability through the eyes of cold hard science. Could a Death Star really be built? Can you build an army of clones? What is 3-D imaging, and where the can you get a Light Saber? Travel to a galaxy far, far away to answer all of these questions and more.
9-11pm -- Star Wars: The Legacy Revealed - The story of Anakin Skywalker's descent into darkness and his son Luke's quest to conquer evil has spellbound audiences for 30 years. The reason for this is simple: the saga of Star Wars is universal and firmly rooted in the mythology and the political history of the entire planet. May 2007 will mark the 30th anniversary of George Lucas' space fantasy that grossed billions worldwide. For the first time take a profound look at the serious subtext behind Lucas' six film milestone. The influence of ancient mythology from Greek legends to King Arthur is visible; but also more recent historical influences, from the political rise of Napoleon to the machinations of Adolf Hitler can be seen.
