Sign up for Disney Plus this Star Wars Day

Disney Plus (or Disney+) is the perfect treat to give to yourself this Star Wars Day, May the 4th. As well as a ton of other top TV shows, movies and documentaries, it has every Star Wars film and show currently released – and very soon the highly anticipated Obi-Wan Kenobi series.

May the 4th has become known as Star Wars Day for obvious reasons (May the fourth..., come on), so it's the perfect excuse to binge-watch everything from the original Star Wars trilogy through the Disney additions up to the Rise of Skywalker and its exclusive shows like The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett. And all in time for the release of Obi-Wan Kenobi in just a few weeks' time on 27 May.

If you're not yet convinced, Disney plus offers a lot more besides Star Wars, with movies and TV shows from Marvel Studios, 21st Century Fox, Pixar, National Geographic, Lucasfilms and Blue Sky Studios as well as Disney, and new titles every week (looking for more options to celebrate Star Wars Day? If you're quick you can get some great Lego Star Wars deals.)

What's on Disney Plus now?

From The Eternals to Free Guy, Disney+ adds brand new theatrical releases to the streaming service every month. This means that even if you missed the biggest blockbuster at the cinema then you can catch up from the comfort of your sofa without having to wait until it's released on DVD.

But this month, Star Wars is the big attraction. You can watch every film that's been released, from the original Star Wars to The Rise of Skywalker, plus the popular series the Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fet. On top of that, released this Stars Wars Day itself is Disney Plus's behind-the-scenes series documentary, Disney Gallery: The Book of Boba Fett. The programme features filmmakers, cast and crew, insights into the technology behind the series and never-before-seen footage.

But best of all, later this month you can watch the brand new Obi-Wan Kenobi, a six-episode series that kicks off with a two-episode premier on 27 May. The series begins 10 years after Obi-Wan faced his greatest defeat as his friend and apprentice Anakin Skywalker turned to the dark side to become the Sith Lord Darth Vader, and we've been excited since we saw the poster back in February.

Other than Star Wars, Disney+ is also home to massively popular series Loki and WandaVision, and you can also catch up on some classic TV shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Family Guy, Grey's Anatomy and Scrubs in the Star collection.
