- The biggest mystery of Return of the Jedi: Where or how did Leia get that dress from the Ewoks? (PlutoTV)
- Disney is launching it’s own streaming service…pulling out of Netflix deal (insidethemagic.net)
- The Disney-branded direct-to-consumer streaming service will launch some time in 2019 and will become the exclusive home in the U.S. for on-demand viewing of the latest live-action and animated Disney and Pixar films. As a result, Disney will end its distribution agreement with Netflix at the start of 2019.
- It is yet unclear as to how Marvel and Lucasfilm products will be affected by this shift in strategy. As of right now, Disney has only committed to Disney and Pixar films being a part of this new service. Iger mentioned that there has been talk of creating separate services for Marvel and Lucasfilm, but the amount of content is a concern there. They have also considered including the two properties in the already announced service. Disney will announce their decision on that situation at a later date.
- UPDATE TODAY: Netflix’s relationship with Disney hasn’t been severed just yet. In an interview with Reuters, Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos said that the streamer is still in “active discussions” regarding a deal for Marvel or Lucasfilm titles. (CynopsisDigital)
