A new hope

"Phineas and Ferb: Star Wars" introduces a new generation to their parents' obsession with cartoon appearances by Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Princess Leia and more. Jar Jar Binks' invitation apparently got lost in the intergalactic mail. 8 p.m. Saturday, Disney Channel

Duck walk of fame

One could have a hearty discussion debating the greatest concert movie of all time (and, no, we will not entertain "One Direction: This Is Us" as a candidate), but you'd have to include 1987's "Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll," the Taylor Hackford/Keith Richards unvarnished tribute to Chuck Berry. The performances are so ferocious you'll sweat just sitting on your couch. 8 p.m. Sunday, VH1 Classic

Ice, ice baby

"Ice Lake Rebels" takes viewers to a frozen lake in Canada's Northwest Territories where people are free from taxation and rule of law. I guess for some, the chance to live off the grid is worth facing possible frostbite every time you step outside. 9 p.m. Sunday, Animal Planet
