Our friends over at JustWatch have compiled a list of the most watched Star Wars film and TV shows on Disney Plus, compiling a list that may surprise some. The numbers are based on JustWatch user activity globally, from 2019 through to 28th April 2025, aggregating data from over 60 million monthly users across 140 countries. That’s a hefty patch of viewership to pull from, but highlights that in the Disney Plus era, not only does The Mandalorian reign supreme but also Andor is far more popular than many would have you believe, coming second only to the adentures of Din Djarin and Grogu.

Attack of the Clones, Return of the Jedi and The Last Jedi are the least watched of their respective trilogies. Considering it only launched in early December, Skeleton Crew has grabbed  11th spot, ahead of current box office darling Revenge of the Sith, while Solo remains criminally overlooked, proving that for whatever reason there’s a blindspot in the viewership that needs to be addressed.

JustWatch, the world’s leading streaming guide, has released an exclusive report, diving into the most-streamed titles across the Star Wars universe. From the timeless legacy of George Lucas’ original trilogy to the power of Disney’s modern revival, JustWatch’s findings reveal how the Force continues to captivate British audiences.

Drawing from millions of data points collected from JustWatch users, the report uncovers the top-performing Star Wars films and series and how streaming preferences vary between generations of fans.

Key Findings

● “The Mandalorian” Reigns Supreme: Disney+’s flagship series outperformed the
original trilogy by over 25%, cementing its status as the most-watched Star Wars title.
● Film Favorites Still Fly High: Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back remains the
most-streamed film from the Lucas-era classics, while The Rise of Skywalker leads among Disney’s theatrical releases.
● Old vs. New: Though newer series like Ahsoka and Andor surged in popularity in 2024, the original trilogy collectively still held over 30% of the film streaming share.
● Anakin Showdown: Hayden Christensen’s portrayal in the prequels has seen a
resurgence, outpacing Jake Lloyd and even early Mark Hamill-led films in younger
demographics.
