It’s May 4th and it’s Star Wars Day, with Disney going all in with lots of new additions to Disney+ including the latest blockbuster, Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker, which has been added two months early.  This now means the entire Skywalker Saga is now available on Disney+.

Disney+ is also honoring the artistry of Star Wars with a week-long concept art takeover on the service. Like a commemorative gallery, each film and series’ artwork will be updated on May 4th to feature its original concept paintings. From “Star Wars: A New Hope” to “The Mandalorian,” the updated art will feature work from celebrated artists such as the legendary Ralph McQuarrie and Academy Award-winning artist, author, and production designer, Doug Chiang. On the Disney+ home screen, the animated “Star Wars” brand tile, viewable on web and connected TV devices, gets upgraded with a new animation that honors the signature hyperspace jump.

Here is the full rundown:
