    Star Wars Live-Action TV Series, More to Launch on Disney Streaming Service
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Disney's new streaming service is giving us a Star Wars live-action series
    and more

    We're getting a Star Wars live-action TV series from the upcoming Disney
    streaming service. Walt Disney Company chairman and CEO Bob Iger spoke
    about the project during a quarterly earnings call with investors on
    Thursday. The streaming service will launch in 2019. In addition to the 
    Star Wars live-action series, Iger said that we're also be getting a TV
    series based on the 2001 Pixar film Monster, Inc. as well as one based on
    the Disney Channel film franchise High School Musical. This is in addition
    to the news that Rian Johnson will be creating a new trilogy for the Star
    Wars franchise. Johnson is the director of the upcoming film Star Wars:
    The Last Jedi. He will write and direct the first of the trilogy's films.

    The new Disney-branded service will become the exclusive home in the U.S.
    for subscription-video-on-demand viewing of the newest live action and
    animated movies from Disney and Pixar, beginning with the 2019 theatrical
    slate, which includes Toy Story 4, the sequel to Frozen, and The Lion King 
    from Disney live-action, along with other highly-anticipated movies.
    Disney will also make a significant investment in an annual slate of
    original movies, TV shows, short-form content and other Disney-branded
    exclusives for the service. Additionally, the service will feature a vast
    collection of library content, including Disney and Pixar movies and
    Disney Channel, Disney Junior and Disney XD television programming. All
    told, around 500 films from the Disney library will be present on the
    service along with nearly 7,000 episodes of Disney television.
