All 11 live-action Star Wars movies are heading to Disney networks.
The entire slate of live-action Star Wars movies are finding a new home on Disney's linear TV networks, which include ABC, FX, and Freeform. Subscribers to the Disney+ streaming service already had access to the 11 Star Wars movies, but they've also been available on Warner Bros. Discovery's Turner Networks for regular TV customers. But now Disney gets to bring the beloved Star Wars franchise to its own networks, though they will also remain on the TNets as well.
The original Star Wars trilogy – A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi – kick off this new era of programming on FX on Saturday, October 7th. Joining them is the animated film Star Wars: The Clone Wars. This movie started what would become a popular run of the Clone Wars animated series, which concluded on Disney+.
