Happy May the Fourth! The Star Wars movies, series to watch on Disney+ for Star Wars Day
Happy May the Fourth! If you're looking for a way to celebrate Star Wars Day, here's a roundup of the Star Wars and space-themed content available to stream now on Disney+:
In celebration of Star Wars Day, Disney+ released "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" two months ahead of schedule on the streaming service, marking the first time ever that fans can stream the entire Skywalker saga in one place.
"The Rise of Skywalker" concludes the nine-part Skywalker saga, which began with George Lucas' 1977 film "Star Wars: A New Hope."
In addition to the Skywalker saga, "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" is also available to stream on Disney+ and "Solo: A Star Wars Story" is coming soon.
"Star Wars: The Clone Wars" finale
The seven-season run of "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" comes to an end today. In the series finale, Ahsoka and Rex find themselves in a desperate race for their own survival. With the galaxy in chaos, they must use all of their skills to outwit the dangerous forces that surround them.
"Star Wars: The Clone Wars" stars Matt Lanter as Anakin Skywalker, Ashley Eckstein as Ahsoka Tano, Dee Bradley Baker as Captain Rex and the clone troopers, James Arnold Taylor as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Katee Sackhoff as Bo-Katan and Sam Witwer as Maul. Dave Filoni is credited as the series' executive producer and supervising director.
The series' seventh season was the first to premiere on Disney+. The series premiered on Cartoon Network in 2008, running for five seasons before an eventual move to Netflix for one season.
"Star Wars: Rebels," "Star Wars: Resistance" and "Star Wars: Blips" are among the other Star Wars series available to stream on Disney+.
"Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian"
Though "Clone Wars" is wrapping up today, there's also a new entry in the Star Wars universe: "Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian." The eight-episode docu-series pulls back the curtain on "The Mandalorian," with each episode exploring a different part of the production of the first live-action Star Wars television series. The series includes interviews, behind-the-scenes "Mandalorian" footage and roundtable conversations hosted by Jon Favreau.
(It goes without saying that "The Mandalorian" is also available to stream, too!)
