Star Wars is one of the largest and most well-known brands in the world. Since the franchise belongs to Disney, not only are all the films available on the streaming service Disney+, but also exclusively produced series.

When the streaming provider Disney+ launched at the end of 2019 (or in Germany in March 2020), there weren’t many series and films to choose from. The streaming provider initially offered content primarily from its own brands–and “The Mandalorian.” The first live-action “Star Wars” series was the main reason many subscribed right from the start. Disney has since expanded its offerings: With the “Star” package, many contents for an older audience have been added. More “Star Wars” series have since been released or are in planning. TECHBOOK provides an overview.

“The Mandalorian” as the Start of a New “Star Wars” Era

Back in 1985, the first “Star Wars” series, “Star Wars: Droids,” premiered. The short-lived animated series showcased more adventures of the iconic droids R2-D2 and C-3PO. Since then, much has happened with the brand. Series like “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” gained significant popularity and are now also available on Disney+.

In 2019, “The Mandalorian” marked the franchise’s first live-action series. Even though there were older series from the “Star Wars” universe, “The Mandalorian” signifies a new chapter. The production is set between “Return of the Jedi” and “The Force Awakens,” revealing a completely new side of the story.

Din Djarin (played by Pedro Pascal) is a bounty hunter who, as a so-called “Mandalorian,” always wears a helmet with a closed visor. Styled as a space Western, the series almost entirely omits lightsabers and shows how the unusual protagonist navigates the (far, far away) galaxy and, during a mission, rescues a child of the same species as Jedi Master Yoda. The two form an unlikely, father-son-like duo, which brought the streaming service stellar numbers right from the start.

“Star Wars” Series on Disney+ 2022

Obi-Wan Kenobi

For this “Star Wars” series, both Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen returned to their roles as Jedi Master and Darth Vader. After the Empire’s takeover, Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi has retreated under the alias “Ben” to the desert planet Tatooine. There, he can also keep an eye on young Luke Skywalker (Grant Feely). However, when Luke’s sister Leia (Vivien Lyra Blair) is kidnapped and Obi-Wan appears on the Empire’s radar, a chase begins. It is not yet known if there will be a sequel, but there is much to suggest a second season of “Obi-Wan Kenobi”.

Andor

“Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” was the first official spin-off of the series in 2016 and a huge success. As of now, it ranks fourth among the most successful “Star Wars” films of all time, following the latest trilogy with Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver. The dark blockbuster, which shows the immediate prequel to Episode IV and the theft of the Death Star plans, gets its own series spin-off with “Andor.” Diego Luna returns in the lead role of Captain Cassian Andor, and the former imperial droid K-2SO (Alan Tudyk) is also back. A second season is set to launch in 2024.

Older “Star Wars” Series on Disney+

Droids

The previously mentioned “Star Wars: Droids” aired in Germany under the title “Freunde im All” (Friends in Space).

Ewoks

During the same period, another animated series was released. With “Ewoks,” the small, furry inhabitants of the forest moon also got their own “Star Wars” series.

Clone Wars

Not to be confused with “The Clone Wars”! “Clone Wars” is an animated series from the early 2000s. The storyline explores the gap between “Star Wars” Episode II and III. We follow Yoda, Anakin Skywalker, and Obi-Wan Kenobi on their Jedi missions.

The Clone Wars

War rages between the Galactic Republic and the rebellious Separatists, known as the Confederacy of Independent Systems (CIS). This conflict is explored from various perspectives in the longest-running “Star Wars” series, often through unrelated stories. Important characters like Ahsoka Tano became known through the series.
