Sky Deutschland

Sky Deutschland (launched on February 28, 1991) is a cable and satellite television channel owned 54.5% by 21st Century Fox and the remainder through various shareholders. It was created in 1991 as Premiere.

On October 19, 2014, it was announced that beginning on December 1 and ending December 14, in anticipation of the upcoming Star Wars Episode VII, Sky Deutschland's digital sub-network, Sky Hits, will be re-branded as Sky Star Wars HD. The network will broadcast all six Star Wars films, beginning from Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, but will also air 20 behind-the-scenes making-of featurettes, as well as the documentaries Empire of Dreams and Star Wars: The Legacy Revealed.

The move was made possible through a deal with The Walt Disney Company and Lucasfilm Ltd..
