The last few days for Disney has been nothing but great press with the releasing of trailers forSoloandInfinity War,which were followed by yesterday’s announcement from Lucasfilm that aseries ofStar Warsfilms would be produced and written byGame of Thronescreators D.B. Weiss and David Benioff. This is not the only major announcement pertaining to the multi-billion dollar science fiction franchise that has recently been disclosed to the general public. Disney CEO Bob Iger has confirmed that multiple television shows set within theStar Warsuniverse are going to be put into development and will be exclusively released on the upcoming Disney streaming service.
The CEO held his First Quarter conference call with investors, and during this call he made it clear that not only are Weiss and Benioff going to write and produce a series ofStar Warsfilms but that he had a handful of televisions series set within theStar Warsuniverse.
Disney is developing “not just one but a few Star Wars series” for next year’s Disney SVOD service, says Bob Iger. “The level of talent will be rather significant.”

Again, it is to be clarified that these planned shows are not going to be films like the Weiss/Benioff production, but rather productions that will debut exclusively on Disney’s SVOD service. This means that there are currently no plans for the entertainment company to begin producing direct-to-streaming movies in a similar fashion to what Netflix has done with notable in-house productions such asBrightandCloverfield Paradox.Either way this is welcome news that has come on the heels of a previous announcement that a live-action series wasalready in productionand set to debut in 2019. This is not the first time that we have received word that a potential show set in a galaxy far, far awaywas going to be in the works. In 2015, it was speculated that Disney was going tomake use of it’s previous partnership with Netflix to stream their potentialStar Warsshowson there in a similar fashion to what it has done with it’s Marvel Cinematic Universe projects such asDaredevilandThe Punisher.That plan has obviously been scrapped as a result of Disney’s plan to launch anexclusive streaming servicethat will feature all of their content which means that every Disney, Marvel or Star Wars film will be pulled from Netflix once the service launches and will not be featured on any other service. It is currently unknown if they will be animated or live-action but there definitely is more room with the upcoming series finale forStar Wars Rebels.Iger commented that the streaming service will have less content than other streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video because it’s branded content is better and more appealing to a wide range of demographics such as the average moviegoing family.
