Complete 'Star Wars' Skywalker Saga Arrives May 4 on Disney+
May the force be with you.
Star Wars fans will be delighted to learn that The Rise of Skywalker will arrive on Disney+ on May 4 — the fan-created international Star Wars Day — bringing together all nine episodes of the Skywalker Saga on the streaming platform.
The finale to the saga originally came out in theaters across the globe last December 2019, making $515 million USD domestically and raking in $1.075 billion USD globally. Its digital release then arrived on March 13, 2020, four days earlier than previously announced — no doubt due to the social distancing regulations currently underway — and its physical release in stores just over two weeks later on March 31.
With the ninth episode joining Disney+ on May 4, the streaming service will not only have the entire Skywalker saga, but also the two spin-off movies Solo: A Star Wars Story and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, allowing for an 11-title binge at one go.
Aside from its big screen offerings, Disney+ will also be launching season two of the fan-favorite The Mandalorian later this year in October, with season three reportedly already in the works. The studio is also filming a docuseries based around the series, showcasing behind-the-scenes footage of the production.
In other entertainment news, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is receiving a sequel.
