Star Wars & Disney

I recently started watching the Disney + Channel. When Katie and the family were visiting us last August we had a conversation about watching all the Star Wars movies and series that were being shown on Disney. She was excited about watching them and knew I would too and she was urging me to subscribe. I balked about adding another service and suddenly she had gone into her account and added a profile for me. Then she added it to our TV. She was offering to add the whole bundled package of Disney, Hulu and ESPN but I politely declined and just accepted the Disney because of the Star Wars stuff. I didn't jump in right away but eventually I decided to reexperience Star Wars again and this time I would follow the timeline of all the films and shows. I went on to Wikipedia to get that timeline right.

 

Then I started watching... in order but I still got a ways to go.

  • The Phantom Menace
  • Attack of the Clones
  • Revenge of the Sith
  • Rogue One
  • Solo
  • Obi-Wan Kenobi
  • Andor
I'm watching the TV series Andor right now and then I will go back to viewing the films again. The other new series Solo and Obi-Wan Kenobi were a lot of fun too.
  • Star Wars
  • The Empire Strikes Back
  • The Return of the Jedi
  • The Force Awakens
  • The Last Jedi
  • The Rise of Skywalker
  • The Mandalorian
  • The Book of Boba Fett
There are also many animated Star Wars television series. Close to 20 of them that take place in various times within the Star Wars time-line. I may take a look at a couple of them at some time.

And then there are the books. Dozens and dozens of them. Adult and children's novels. Now there is a Disney Lucasfilms Press dedicated to them. Many years ago I read the novelization of the first film but I think that was the only one. Although I constantly read science fiction novels I have not had the urge to jump into the Star Wars world of related books. Yet.
