We’re not saying the UK has been waiting long for the arrival of Disney Plus, just that since its US launch last November, human life has changed beyond all recognition.
Back in November, you’d hug a mate, share a bag of crisps and lick a doorknob without giving it a second thought. Now? Those are just fond memories. Now, we stay in.
Don’t miss out on this Disney+ PRE-ORDER DEAL, on us!
All our patience (stern look to anyone currently cradling a Baby Yoda doll) has finally paid off. Disney Plus is here and brings with it a host of staying-in entertainment. There’s Marvel. There’s Pixar. There are 650 episodes of The Simpsons. And blessedly, there is Star Wars. Beaucoup de Star Wars.
Here’s all the Star Wars content on Disney Plus UK at launch.

Star Wars TV series on Disney Plus UK
Everything you’d expect is present and correct. Disney Plus UK
has the complete Star Wars Rebels including the shorts, as well
as all six current series of The Clone Wars.
The big kahuna, of course, is space western The Mandalorian starring Pedro Pascal. Disney will be releasing the eight episodes of the first season weekly, with two at launch, then episode three arriving in the UK on Friday March 27th, and subsequent episodes out each Friday after that.
The Mandalorian season 2 is in the works and expected to air in October 2020 (filming wrapped in early March, just missing the COVID-19 shutdowns currently cutting a swathe through other TV productions).
Soon to join The Mandalorian in the live-action Star Wars TV show club are the new Obi-Wan Kenobi series, featuring Ewan McGregor, and the pre-Rogue One Cassian Andor series.
As it stands though, here’s what there is:
- Star Wars: The Mandalorian (2019)
- Star Wars Rebels Shorts, 4 episodes (2014-15)
- Star Wars Rebels, seasons 1-4 (2014-2018)
- Star Wars: The Clone Wars, seasons 1-6 (2008 –
15)
Other Star Wars TV on Disney Plus UK
And joining that will be a heap of LEGO Star Wars and animated episodes including Forces of Destiny, The New Yoda Chronicles, Droid Tales, and The Freemaker Adventures.
See below:
