The galaxy far, far away is about to get much bigger.
may not sound fun — and, yeah, it's not as awesome as a day at Galaxy's Edge — but this day is important in that it's a multi-hour sizzle reel of upcoming content that Disney has planned in the near future. While today mostly focused on and the future of ESPN+, Hulu and the coming global expansion of Star (formerly HotStar), there was great news for Star Wars fans: we're getting a lot more new content in the coming years.
First off, we're getting ten new Star Wars series on Disney+ in the next few years. That number includes the Kenobi mini-series — which Hayden Christensen will be reprising his role as Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader in — and the upcoming Andor, around Casian Andor from Rogue One. We're also getting two newly-announced series: Rangers of the New Republic and Ahsoka, which give Ahsoka Tano a show of her own after having to share with Anakin and Obi-Wan for so many years!
Speaking of the Clone Wars, the Bad Batch are getting a spin-off series after their debut in Season 7, and the trailer looks promising and fun. This show is set immediately after Order 66 and covers the swap-over from the Republic to the Empire, and has the Bad Batch carrying out a variety of diverse and exhilarating missions for their Empire overlords.
Other upcoming shows include Lando — which has a fabulous 80s vibe and I am so ready to see the first look for — and The Acolyte, which will be a look into the dark side of the Force and the last days of the Old Republic.
Disney+ will, of course, be where everything announced today will eventually end up, and if you haven't gotten on that bandwagon just yet, now's the time to and get into the magic.
From Star Wars to Marvel and beyond.
Disney's streaming service is already the best place in the world to get your fix of Star Wars content from the final season of The Clone Wars to The Mandalorian and upcoming live-action series for Obi-Wan Kenobi and Casian Andor.
