The third season of The Mandalorianthen a new series that acts as a prequel to a spinoff of the main saga of Star Warsthen another serial set in the universe of Star Wars and with Jude Law as the protagonist and then again a film based on a fantasy book that (almost) no one remembers and also some updates on next chapter of Indiana Jones: on the occasion of the 2022 edition of the Star Wars Celebration event, Disney has lined up an impressive amount of new productions that will delight fans.
The impression is that the company understandably wants to make money investments made over the years by taking over brands and franchises of great value and great appeal to the public, further accelerating the approach to Netflix. Because obviously all of this new content will arrive on Disney Plus, which at the moment is the only one of the big streaming channels that it seems not to suffer from the crisis: in the first 3 months of 2022 it gained another 8 million subscribersand second JustWatch data managed to take 18% of the market, while Netflix and Amazon Prime Video have lost 5% and 4% respectively since January 2021.
More: analysts’ estimates predict not only that overall subscribers to the platforms will double over 3-4 years, but above all that Disney Plus goes from 130 million to 285 million, surpassing Netflix (which in 2026 would stop at 270), Amazon (just over 240 million) and Apple TV Plus (less than 40 million).

It is a fantasy setting story, in which the intention was (and probably still is) to replicate the success of productions such as The Lord of the Rings and indeed Star Wars.
