Star Wars
The original Star Wars trilogy is considered one of the best classic sci-fi movie collections of all time, and Disney+ is a virtual feast of movies and shows to binge within the universe. Fun fact: Technically, the saga is more specifically categorized as space fantasy, which is a sub-genre of sci-fi.

Star Wars movies need little introduction. Enter a galaxy far, far away, where the Force connects all living things, and experience a space opera covering generations of lore. Start with the Skywalkers, then branch into movies that fill in the timeline. If you haven’t experienced Star Wars yet, you’re in for a treat.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
When rumors surface that the Empire is building a planet-killer, resourceful outlaw Jyn Erso joins an unlikely squad of spies, pilots, and soldiers determined to steal blueprints that could topple the Empire. Their covert mission, code-named Rogue One, unfolds amid tropical firefights and narrow escapes that feed directly into the opening moments of the original 1977 saga. Official timelines place the story during the Empire’s reign, spotlighting the grit and sacrifice behind a single spark of hope.

Star Wars Live-Action Shows
Often taking a different approach than the movie releases, these shows tend to focus on condensed timelines within the Star Wars galaxy. From stories that zero in on a resistance to the Empire to tales that jump in the past at the height of Jedi power, these shows are where you come to for complex character moments.
Andor
Years before the Death Star plans are stolen in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Cassian Andor scrapes by on distant worlds until surveillance, sacrifice, and morality pull him into open rebellion against the Empire. Across two seasons of tense episodes, political intrigue collides with raw survival as ordinary citizens become forces for change. Created by Tony Gilroy, the series delivers grounded espionage, layered character development, and a fresh perspective on the Star Wars galaxy that blurs the line between heroes and outlaws. Both seasons are now streaming on Disney+.

Your Sci-Fi Questions Answered
What is sci-fi and what is considered sci-fi?
