Disney’s Netflix competitor finally has a name.
The long-awaited Disney video-streaming service will be known simply as Disney+. Company CEO Bob Iger unveiled the name during a Thursday earnings call. Iger also announced that the service will launch in the U.S. in late 2019.
Disney has been planning its video-streaming service since at least 2017 when the company said it was going to end its multi-year contract with Netflix and pull all of its content off the service. The reason for doing so was simple. Disney wants to move all of its properties — including Disney classics, Pixar movies, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Star Wars films — to its very own streaming platform. Read more…

Disney has announced a new live-action Star Wars series about the adventures of Rogue One‘s Cassian Andor, with Diego Luna reprising his role.

Jon Favreau’s new Star Wars streaming series will be called “The Mandalorian”
We’ve known for months now that Jon Favreau was working on a live-action Star Wars series for Disney’s upcoming streaming service. But that’s about all we knew.
Until now! Favreau just dropped a few huge details out of nowhere.

Since it was announced in March that Iron Man director Jon Favreau was developing a live-action Star Wars TV show set after the events of Return of the Jedi, fans have been speculating as to its subject.
Well, wonder no more. Favreau took to Facebook Wednesday to announce the name of the upcoming series: The Mandalorian. (Unusually for Lucasfilm, the announcement was not immediately posted on StarWars.com — but the fact that Lucasfilm employees are liking the post on Facebook suggests it’s 100% legit.)
Here’s what that means for the more casual fan: We’re going to get a lot of characters dressed like Boba Fett. The bounty hunter (and his clone father from the prequels, Jango Fett) both wore Mandalorian armor — but, confusingly, according to official Star Wars canon as it stands right now, neither character was a Mandalorian.
