Nielsen reported that 44.2% of the viewing came from live-action films, while live-action series, led by Andor with 7.4 billion minutes, accounted for 38.9%. Animated spin-offs made up 16.8%, and documentaries such as Empire of Dreams: The Story of the Star Wars Trilogy represented just 0.2% of total watch time.

As for audience demographics, Millennials and Gen X were especially interested in Andor, while Baby Boomers and Gen Alpha preferred The Mandalorian.

Content and future releases

With the upcoming release of Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord, which reached its season finale around the same time in 2026, interest in the Star Wars universe remains as strong as ever. It’s clear that Disney+’s content strategy and the franchise’s ongoing expansion continue to strengthen its appeal.

Nielsen’s results once again highlight the lasting impact and popularity of the Star Wars franchise, including the effect of new productions on viewing habits and the continuity of the story across generations.
