Disney CEO Bob Iger recently spoke about the benefits of Disney+ as a storytelling platform, particularly when it comes to expanding and broadening the Star Wars universe. On a recent episode of The Star Wars Show (as noticed by Slashfilm), Iger said that fluidity between TV and movies could allow for easy crossovers – with a Disney+ show, like The Mandalorian, possibly getting a movie.
“I don’t look at it as just television, I look at it as an extension of Star Wars storytelling.” Iger said. “What Disney+ has given us the ability to do is to do just that, is to bring Star Wars to people in new ways, and to bring new Star Wars to people. It’s not the same places or the same characters. Just look at Mandalorian. While, obviously, there’s a lot shared, there’s a lot that’s really fresh, and I love that.”
