Now streaming Star Wars is easily possible at Disney+! Here you'll find all the facts and which series, movies and documentaries the portal offers.

A few years ago, the big media company purchased the production company Lucasfilm for $4.05 billion from Star-Wars-creator George Lucas. The goal: To retake Disney's successful Science-Fiction movie series, by tying in Marvel's successful movie series based off of children's stories.

Nowadays subscribers can see all films on the streaming portal. Series as well as documentaries that focus on the production behind it came also to the Disney+ offer.

Die ursprüngliche Kinoreihe, deren Bestand bei der Disney-Übernahme noch aus sechs Filmen bestand, sollte mit drei weiteren Filmen abgeschlossen werden. Außerdem kamen in den Jahren zwischen den Hauptfilmveröffentlichungen von Star-Wars-Episoden VII, VIII, IX weitere Kinoproduktionen hinzu, die Geschichten abseits von Prinzessin Leia und Luke Skywalker in diesem umfangreichen und fantasievollen Universum erzählten.

Disney had to come up with new plans for the costly franchise. The answer came in the form of Disney+: a streaming service that started together with the platform and saw almost unbelievable viewership and subscriber numbers.

The Star Wars story is highly interesting and huge. In this article, we'll explain in detail what the Disney+ program contains and what you can see.

All beginnings with 1977's first Star Wars movie. Then, the film was known in German-speaking countries as "The War of the Stars" and quickly became a box office success. For production, George Lucas founded his own production company, and the special effects company Industrial Light & Magic, which later had a huge impact on Hollywood with groundbreaking visual effects.

They look completely different. The story was very simple: a peasant from the planet Tatooine named Luke Skywalker fights against an overpowering galactic empire led by an emperor and his right-hand man, Darth Vader.

After 16 years, Lucas allowed himself time to travel to the strange universe again. In 1999-2005, he tells the prequels' story of how young Anakin Skywalker turned into Darth Vader.

You can now stream the entire epic cosmic saga including a few surprises on Disney+. Here is a list of all the current Disney+ movies:

This is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form. AMY GOODMAN: This is Democracy Now!, democracynow.org, The War and Peace Report. I’m Amy Goodman, with Nermeen Shaikh. NERMEEN SHAIKH: We turn now to Syria, where tensions are escalating between the government and opposition forces. On Wednesday, Syria’s Supreme Military Council called for a three-month cease-fire in the country as fighting between rebel brigades and regime forces continues unabated. This comes as Russia pushes for a loose coalition of Syrian rebels to take control of Damascus to try to stabilize the situation there. Meanwhile, the United States has proposed sending several thousand more troops to help train rebels fighting Assad’s government, but officials say they don’t yet have a specific plan for how those troops would be deployed or when they would arrive in Syria. AMY GOODMAN: Well, we want to turn now to another part of the world where U.S.-led NATO is stepping up its military presence amid rising tensions with Russia over Ukraine. Secretary of State John Kerry announced Wednesday that NATO will deploy an additional 1,000 soldiers along the alliance’s eastern border with Russia and install surveillance systems in Estonia and Latvia as part of defensive measures against potential Russian aggression. He said NATO members are also discussing plans for broader air defenses and missile defense deployments in Poland and Romania. Kerry made his trip to Estonia while on a stop in Ukraine, where he met with President Petro Poroshenko amid continuing clashes between government forces and pro-Russian separatists who have seized control of several towns in eastern Ukraine over the past few weeks. SECRETARY OF STATE JOHN KERRY: [translated] The United States supports Ukraine's territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders; we support an immediate cessation of hostilities by both sides; we support Ukrainian elections that are free and fair; we condemn any outside interference that aims to derail these goals; we encourage all parties to abide by their commitments under Minsk II; finally, we underscore that persistent provocations by pro-Russian separatists could lead very quickly indeed to further bloodshed and greater conflict within Ukraine itself—a conflict that could ultimately spin out of control into Europe itself

Since Lucasfilm has been flirting with the idea of producing a Star Wars series for TV for a long time, rumors about a real series have persisted. Whether these are serious ideas or fan wishful thinking, it's hard to say today.

I think it's time we changed the computer-animated series "Star Wars: The Clone Wars," which starred between the movies "Star Wars - Episodes II: Attack of the Clones" and "Star Wars - Episode III: Revenge of the Sith." This series was produced between 2008 and 2020, and consists of seven seasons.

Another computer-animated series, "Star Wars: Rebels", focused on the construction of the Rebel Alliance against the dark empire and played between episodes III and IV. Numerous other animation series in different animation styles, telling different stories, are already available. More will follow.

His life will change fundamentally when he has to save a small child from the ruins of the empire. The series was a success and Disney's Star Wars bet finally paid off.

After Disney+ released the first two seasons in 2019 and 2020, more episodes are currently in production. It is not known when the third season will come out.

Disney and Lucasfilm placed their creative responsibility on the same people who had successfully executed with Mandalorian. The first season of Boba Fett started on December 29, 2021.

Now a overview of all currently available Star Wars series on Disney+:

The Mandalorian, Star Wars: Visions, Star Wars: The Bad Batch, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars: Rebels, and Lego Star Wars: Die Mächte des Schicksals are all animated series. Meanwhile, Lego Star Wars: The Yoda Chronicles is an episodic series that takes place between the original trilogy and prequel trilogy. Finally, Lego Star Wars: The Resistance Rises is a new animated series that will bridge the gap between Rogue One and Episode IX.

Especially after the success of "The Mandalorian", it's clear that Disney isn't going to stop producing series and films. The studio is continuing to drive this in a two-way street. Films will continue to be shown in theaters, but they'll eventually end up on Disney+ too. But while real- and animated series are enjoyed by both young and adult Disney+ viewers right away,

One of the most important science fiction series is "Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi," in which actor Ewan McGregor reprises his famous role as Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and experiences various adventures. "Star Wars: Andor" on the other hand, focuses on Rebel and spy Cassian Andor, who played a key role in the film "Star Wars: Rogue One."

While there will be a reunion in Star Wars: Ahsoka of former Jedi student Anakin Skywalker, Star Wars: Rangers of the New Republic focuses on the work of humans rebuilding the Republic after the fall of the Empire. additionally, in Star Wars: Lando we'll see the return of Lando Calrissian, while Star Wars: The Acolyte explores one of the early epochs of the Star Wars universe.

Here is a overview of the upcoming Star Wars series and seasons:

According to reports, Disney is planning to release Star Wars: Andor (start: 2022), Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi (start: 2022), Star Wars: The Mandalorian Staffel 3 (likely ending in 2022), Star Wars: Rangers of the New Republic (unbeknownst to us as of yet, start: unknown), Star Wars: Ahsoka (start unknown), and most interestingly, Star Wars: The Acolyte (probably starting in 2022). Additionally, Disney is also scheduled to release an unspecified animation film in 2020 and a live-action film in 2021.

Disney maintains its plans to release Star Wars films theatrically. Producer Patty Jenkins is directing the film "Star Wars: Rogue Squadron", which is set to come out in theaters in 2020. In this movie, there will be a squadron of Kamikaze pilots.

Taika Waiti had a tremendous career as a filmmaker, comedic actor, author, and producer in New Zealand. His films include "5 Rooms Kitchen Sink" and "Where The Wild Things Are" which both had great success. Afterwards, he directed the much-loved Marvel movie "Thor: Ragnarok" and the comedic drama "Jojo Rabbit," which won him a screenplay award.

Now he plans to create his own star wars movie with his quirky humor and charm. There is still not much known about the film, other than that he will co-write the script with Krysty Wilson Cairns, who also wrote the screenplay for the war drama "1917."

There is no wonder that Star Wars would be unsuccessful in comparison. Exactly how it will look however, only Feige himself knows for sure. Producer and author of the cartoon series "Rick and Morty" and the upcoming Marvel-Disney+ series "Loki" as well as the Marvel film "Doctor Strange" writes the script.

Fans of the popular Star Wars movies can gain a glimpse behind the scenes with series documentaries "Empire of Dreams" and "Disney Galerie: The Mandalorian." "Empire of Dreams" covers the origins of the saga and the hard production process, while "Disney Galerie: The Mandalorian" provides an overview of all those involved in the series. These documentaries can be seen on Disney+'s Star Wars channel:

series (Making of von "Star Wars - Mandalorian") The Empire of Dreams: The Story of the Star Wars Trilogy is a documentary that tells the story of the three movies in the Star Wars saga - Episode VIII: Die letzten Jedi, Making of "Star Wars - Episode IX: Aufstieg des Skywalkers" and Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian series.

Most fans probably don't remember or haven't forgotten that there were a series of Star Wars TV shows and movies that haven't yet made it to Disney streaming. It's unclear if this will still happen, but it's not completely excluded.

Other content included other Star Wars content, including another version of the Clone Wars series. Here is a list of content Lucasfilm might prefer to forget:

The Star Wars Holiday Special (Film), Star Wars: Die Ewoks (Film), Star Wars: Die Ewoks (Animation Series), Freunde im All (Animation Series), and Star Wars: Clone Wars (Animation Series) are all based on the original movies.
