Disney+ closed out 2025 with a milestone tied directly to one of its most recognizable franchises.
According to figures released in The Walt Disney Company’s annual report, May 4—widely known as Star Wars Day—was the single biggest streaming day of the year for the platform.
The data also confirmed another notable benchmark for the franchise: The Mandalorian became the first Star Wars streaming series to surpass one billion hours watched since its debut. Launched in 2019, the series was Disney+’s first live-action Star Wars show and remains the longest-running title within the franchise’s streaming slate.
Disney’s report outlined several other performance highlights across its streaming ecosystem. Bluey ranked as the most-watched series overall in 2025, logging approximately 26.5 million rewatches.
On the film side, Moana 2 emerged as the platform’s most-rewatched movie, surpassing 80 million total views. FX’s Alien: Earth also stood out as the network’s largest streaming premiere to date, accumulating more than 100 million hours watched.
While multiple catalog titles reached the billion-hour threshold—among them The Golden Girls, Encanto, Malcolm in the Middle, Law & Order: SVU, Family Guy, and Futurama—The Mandalorian was the only Star Wars series included in that group.
Other Disney+ entries from the franchise, including The Book of Boba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and animated projects, did not reach the same cumulative viewing total during the reporting period.
Disney did not release a breakdown of what specific titles drove traffic on May 4, but the company confirmed that Star Wars Day alone accounted for Disney+’s highest single-day streaming activity of the year.
Promotional artwork connected to Andor accompanied the announcement, though the report did not attribute the day’s performance to any one series or film.
The sustained engagement around The Mandalorian has also influenced the franchise’s next theatrical chapter. Disney previously announced that The Mandalorian and Grogu will arrive in theaters on May 22, 2026, marking the first Star Wars feature film tied directly to a Disney+ original series.
The project’s first trailer debuted in September and has since generated millions of views on the official Star Wars YouTube channel.
