As a huge Star Wars fan, I’m thrilled to see so much of the franchise popping up on streaming charts again this Star Wars Day! It’s especially great to hear that the first season of [show name – assuming it’s implied from context] just wrapped up with its final two episodes and immediately hit number one on Disney+.
According to FlixPatrol, The Mandalorian has reappeared on Disney+’s most-watched list, but the Star Wars films are dominating. Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace is currently the most popular, which isn’t surprising – it’s a natural starting point for anyone wanting to revisit or experience the prequel trilogy, and it’s where audiences first met Darth Maul.
People are watching the original Star Wars films again! The Phantom Menace is currently popular on both Disney+ and for digital rental, and its sequel, Attack of the Clones, is also trending on Disney+, indicating many viewers are starting Star Wars marathons.
The first Star Wars movie is currently popular on Hulu and available for digital rental, which suggests many fans are interested in rewatching the original trilogy and perhaps skipping the newer films – a perfectly valid choice. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story has also reappeared on Hulu’s charts, likely because viewers are watching it as a way to get ready for the original Star Wars movie.
Star Wars Was Big Streaming In 2025
Nielsen recently reported that streaming of Star Wars content reached 33 billion minutes – equivalent to 550 million hours – in 2025. Movies made up the largest portion of this viewership at 44.2%, followed by live-action TV shows at 38.9%. Animated series contributed 16.8% of the total, while documentaries and other related projects accounted for just 0.2%.
Looking at the data more closely, A New Hope proved to be the most popular film, likely because it was the first and can be enjoyed even without seeing the others. Following that, The Phantom Menace and Rogue One were the next most-watched, which aligns with current streaming trends.
Star Wars’ Streaming Future
As a huge Star Wars fan, I’m really excited about what’s coming to streaming! It looks like we’ll have even more Star Wars content in the future, and I’m hearing that several new projects are expected to drop in 2026. It’s great to know the saga is continuing on our screens!
The world of Star Wars is expanding to the big screen with a new movie, The Mandalorian and Grogu. This film is based on the popular Star Wars series The Mandalorian, which originally premiered as a streaming television show, and will be released in theaters later this month.
The entire Star Wars franchise is streaming now on Disney+.
