Diego Luna’s rebel spy may be destined to help blow up the Death Star in his Star Wars
future after Andor, but his final appearance in the highly acclaimed series has detonated a Star Wars surge on Disney+ following the finale of Tony Gilroy’s series. As Andor
Season 2 came to a close, the Disney+ Top 10 was overtaken by a huge amount of interest in other Star Wars content, ranging from the original trilogy to more modern offerings.
Except for the number two slot and tenth position, which are held by Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and Avengers: Endgame, respectively, every other slot is taken by a Star Wars movie or TV show.

While Disney has shifted more toward TV series, the Star Wars movies will always have been the biggest moments in the franchise. Here’s every film.
Naturally, Andor is holding the top spot, which is unsurprising considering the show has continued to deliver the best reviews of any live-action project ever released by Lucasfilm. The series conclusion on Wednesday brought to an end one of the greatest journeys undertaken within Star Wars canon, and perfectly closed the story of Cassian Andor.
The chart then consists of Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld, the new animated anthology that has also been delivering strong reviews and viewership, the three movies of the prequel trilogy, A New Hope, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and The Empire Strikes Back. If anyone needed proof that, despite continued gripes about the quality of new Star Wars content, the franchise – or the Force if you prefer – is still strong.
The Future of ‘Star Wars’ Is Movies
While Andor has been an incredible piece of television, the focus on small-screen projects is now over for Lucasfilm, as after seven years, Star Wars will be back on the big screen in 2026. In fact, other than Mandalorian shows such as Ahsoka Season 2, and other animated projects, the bulk of Lucasfilm’s attention is now on rebuilding (the Empire) the movie franchise that was once the centerpiece of the franchise.
While many movies have been discussed in the last several years, with many either being abandoned, delayed, or altered into another project entirely, the franchise’s future is now taking shape. The Mandalorian & Grogu will hit cinemas next summer, bringing the story of Pedro Pascal’s character to cinemas, and paving the way for the culmination of The Mandalorian era with a movie from Dave Filoni sometime in the next few years.
This will be followed by Starfighter, a brand-new Star Wars story from Shawn Levy, which will star Ryan Gosling, and movies by James Mangold (Dawn of the Jedi), Taika Waititi, and Daisy Ridley’s return to the franchise under the direction of Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, which is believed to be coming in 2027. These movies will be served up alongside several others, and a handful of TV shows, but, like every major franchise, the slate of projects seems to be constantly in flux.
One thing that is for certain is that, right now, the Star Wars franchise has never been more popular on its permanent home of Disney+. The rebellion may have happened a long time ago (in a galaxy far, far away – we know) but it looks like it is also happening right now.
