Disney having owned Lucasfilm for almost ten years, it is on its SVOD platform Disney+, in legal streaming, that you will find almost all of the Star Wars films and series.
It was twenty-five years ago. May 19, 1999 was released in cinemas The Phantom Menacefirst film of the prelogy, sixteen years after the original trilogy of Star Wars. In doing so, George Lucas revived the public’s attraction to his cinematic saga. Two other feature films will follow: Attack of the Clones in 2002 then Revenge of the Sith in 2005.
Since then, Disney has been there. A redemption later, the plot of Star Wars has expanded considerably: a third trilogy was launched, and a new extended universe was developed, mainly for the small screen. To date, there are around a dozen projects of this type, in live action or animation.
The good news is that everything Star Wars is now centralized in a single streaming catalog: that of Disney+. Indeed, Disney bought Lucasfilm at a high price in 2012. Since then, the American entertainment giant has made full use of the studio’s licenses. Naturally, it reserves this franchise for its SVOD service.
How to watch everything there saga Star Wars ?
A new hope, Rogue One, The Clone Wars, The force awakens…the essential is there
The platform hosts the initial trilogy (A new hope, The Empire Strikes Back And Return of the Jedi), the prelogy (The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith) and the three films of the postlogy (The force awakens, The Last Jedi And The Rise of Skywalker).
We had to wait until the end of December 2022 for this latest feature film to arrive due to media timelines. At the time, for a service like Disney+, a period of three years had to be observed before the chronology was reformed. These delays will rest the next time a film Star Wars will be released in cinemas in France.
The three spin-off films The Clone Wars, Rogue One And Solo are also on the streaming site. However, don’t expect to see The Star Wars Holiday Specialalso called In the time of Star Wars. This TV film is disowned by the father of Star Wars, George Lucas, and Disney+ does not offer it. Few people have seen it.
It is also on Disney+ that you will find TV series, whether animated or live action: The Clone Wars, Rebels, Resistance, The Mandalorian, The Bad Batch, The Book of Boba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Andor And Ahsoka. Atypical works are also offered, such as Visionswhich is a tribute to Japanese animation.
Finally, the platform has additional content on the universe: short films, documentaries, derivative TV films, such as The Adventure of the Ewoks And The Battle of Endor. Let us also cite Droids: The Adventures of R2-D2 and C-3PO and the cartoon Ewoks. But here we enter almost unrecognizable territories. It’s vintage.
What Star Wars films and series are coming to Disney+?
Series The Acolyte is the one that will soon arrive on Disney+, at the beginning of June 2024. This new series will immerse the public approximately a century before the events of The Phantom Menace, and we will focus on a threat probably linked to the return of the Sith. There are already theories and speculations about the series.
Other projects are on the way. We’ve got a roundup of every Star Wars movie and series Disney is planning.
What is the best order to watch Star Wars?
You know the chronological order of films and the order of release at the cinema. There are others. The most interesting is undoubtedly the machete order. It consists of inserting the prelogy during the viewing of the initial trilogy, to create a flashback effect. Obviously, it becomes more and more difficult to give an ideal order, because there are more and more films and series. Here’s the ideal order in which to watch the Star Wars movies.
