May 14, 2007 Jeff Pfeiffer

Hey, gang, even though there’s no new Star Wars flick coming out in the foreseeable future, there is still something you can await a countdown for while wearing your Darth Maul costume! The History Channel, taking a break from Hitler and focusing on Vader, is premiering a special on Memorial Day, May 28, at 9pm ET called Star Wars: The Legacy Revealed.

On tonight’s performance show, the top six show finalists will sing “life anthem” songs of hope (can I predict a “We Are the World” cover?). On tomorrow’s two-hour results show, Ellen Degeneres hosts a star-studded evening with Celine Dion, Kelly Clarkson, Pink, Gwen Stefani, Earth, Wind […]
