The whole series of live-action Star Wars movies are currently searching for a place on Disney’s TV networks, including Freeform, ABC, and FX. Disney+ subscribers already had access to all 11 of these Star Wars movies, and they could watch them anytime and anywhere, but they were also available on Warner Bros. Discovery’s Turner Networks for normal TV customers.

However, now Disney plans on bringing the fan-favorite Star Wars franchise to its very own networks while still staying on the TNets as well. This provides plenty of options to Star Wars fans, so they can just jump in and watch their favorite characters in action again and again. The original Star Wars trilogy, i.e., A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi, will be kicking off this brand-new era of programming on FX on Saturday, October 7.

The Star Wars animated movie called The Clone Wars will be the next to join them. This movie began the popular run of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series, which has officially come to an end on Disney+. A lot of the characters in the animated series, as well as Star Wars Rebels, ended up getting transferred to live-action on Disney+, such as Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, Hera Syndulla, Sabine Wren, Bo-Katan Kryze, Cad Bane, and many more.

Lucasfilm shared plans for future Star Wars movies during Star Wars Celebration, announcing movies for Rey Skywalker and The Mandalorian Universe. Dave Filoni will be the director of one of those movies that will follow "the escalating war between the imperials and the fledging New Republic," which builds up to all of the other Disney+ Star Wars shows.

When it comes to the Rey Skywalker movie, it will see Daisy Ridley’s character trying to create a new Jedi Order following the events of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Some information about the Rey Skywalker film was found over the summer in Production Weekly (via World of Reel), describing the movie as follows: 

"Set roughly 15 years after Rey's victory over Palpatine and the end of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. The sequel delves into Rey's courageous endeavor to restore the Jedi Order, where she assumes the role of mentor to two promising young students -- a girl and a boy. As their training progresses, it becomes evident the girl possesses extraordinary abilities, destined to emerge as a future leader."
