The Zootopia 2 Steelbook comes with both the 4K and Blu-ray discs as well as loads of bonus features. The main draw of this edition of the film is the steelbook itself, but it's also currently the only 4K or Blu-ray option available to buy. There will be a standard 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD release of this movie later on, but for now you can only preorder this one. Like all preorders on Amazon, this steelbook includes Amazon's preorder price guarantee if you buy now. That means that even though the price is currently at $44.99, you'll likely pay a little bit less than that if the price drops any time between now and its release date.

The Zootopia 2 Steelbook also comes with a variety of bonus features and deleted scenes. Here's all of the extras you get with the physical release:

Zootopia 2 on Digital

If you don't want to wait for the physical release of the film to watch at home, there are two options available for watching Zootopia 2, you can choose to rent it for $24.99 or buy it for $29.99.

Beginning with a college-age love triangle that jumps forward decades later, Heart the Lover follows the lives of our narrator–dubbed Jordan, a moniker inspired by the character of the same name from The Great Gatsby–as well as Sam and Yash. All we can say is, get the tissues at the ready for the second half of this story.

After finding herself drawn back into Sam and Yash’s orbit years later, we see the trio navigate love, friendship, ambition, grief, loss, and forgiveness. It definitely has a similar feel and vibe to Gabrielle Zevin’s Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, if you enjoyed that book, too.

Coffin Moon by Keith Rosson (Horror)

We put together an entire list of the best 2025 horror books back in October, but another one you won’t want to miss is Coffin Moon by Keith Rosson. Set in the 1970s, the story follows Duane, who has just returned home from a tour in Vietnam, and is dealing with the aftermath while resettling back into his previous life, if that even exists anymore. And things only get worse when he crosses paths with a vampire.

Soon, Duane and his adopted niece find themselves driven by vengeance and revenge after the vampire kills Duane’s wife, with them hunting and being hunted by the seemingly immortal being.

The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson (Fantasy)

Combining epic fantasy and a brilliant murder mystery, all in a dark academia setting, it’s easy to see why readers weren’t able to get enough of The Raven Scholar last year. And this first tale sets things up for what looks to be an incredible trilogy.

With the long-standing emperor set to step down, the competition for his replacement begins. However, when one of the options is murdered, it falls to Neema to find out who is responsible and why. It’s a task that won’t really end all that well for her either way. On one hand, if she is successful, she could end up on the throne herself, whether she wants to or not. Alternatively, her failure will essentially amount to a death sentence and could have serious repercussions for the entire empire.

King Of Ashes by S.A. Cosby (Mystery/Crime)

S.A. Cosby never fails to keep us on the edge of our seats, and his latest release is no different. After Roman’s father is left for dead following a hit-and-run, which appears to be no accident, he finds that he must step up to protect his family.

Yet, when he returns home, he discovers that his younger brother, Dante, owes a number of dangerous criminals and gangsters money. At the same time, his sister, Neveah, is exhausted from helping their father run the family crematorium.

How far will Roman go to help his family?

The Compound by Aisling Rawle (Sci-fi/Dystopian)

Giving us a twisted take on reality TV shows like Love Island, The Compound takes what we know about these shows and flips them on their heads in a sinister way.

With the world outside quite literally falling apart, Lily is happy to compete amongst her fellow twenty-somethings for love. Yet, when things take a turn from the norm, and the contestants are forced to take part in increasingly dangerous challenges, what will she do to win? And what exactly will happen to those who lose? We can’t wait to pick this one up ASAP.

Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection by John Green (Non-fiction)

2025 was a standout year for non-fiction, with books like The Let Them Theory, The New Age Of Sexism, and No More Tears all catching our eye, but John Green’s Everything Is Tuberculosis quickly made it to the top of many of our TBR (to be read) lists.

After meeting a young tuberculosis patient named Henry at a hospital in Sierra Leone, John tells Henry’s story alongside the scientific and social histories of what is a curable and preventable bacterial infection that still kills over a million people a year, all while pondering the future of the disease. At a little over 200 pages, it’s a great introduction to non-fiction–especially if you normally shy away from it–and at that length, it will have you well on your way when it comes to any reading challenge pledges for the new year.

The Names by Florence Knapp (Contemporary Fiction)

A difficult read, in many ways, The Names asks the question, what is in a name? How will life differ for one little boy if he is named Bear, Julian, or Gordon? Flipping back and forth between the three versions of one life, this Sliding Doors-style debut highlights how one, seemingly simple, decision can alter the course of a life, and the lives of those around him, as each section jumps forward a number of years to offer us a snapshot of how life is unfurling with the three different names.

A story of family, perseverance, the pervasive impact of domestic abuse, as well as fate, I’ve just picked this up myself and can’t wait to dive in.

One Golden Summer by Carley Fortune (Romance)

A fantastically escapist beach or summer read–let’s just say, we’re already counting down the days until winter is over–Carley Fortune’s One Golden Summer is the perfect romance to pick up, if you haven’t already.

The story follows Alice as she heads back to the lakeside town of Barry’s Bay, a place she has fond memories of visiting in her youth, to look after her beloved Nan. This has a coming-of-age feel to it, even though Alice is now grown, as she rediscovers the joy of such a place and contemplates where her life is heading back home, all while getting to know the boy (now a man) that she admired from afar all those years ago.

Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros (Romantasy)

It would be remiss of us not to mention one of the biggest books of 2025 - Onyx Storm. The third book in the Empyrean series, this is the kind of escapist fantasy that you won’t be able to put down.

In this latest tome, Violet finds herself embarking on what might just be her most dangerous mission yet, as she risks everything to save the ones closest to her, even if it means keeping a secret close to her chest that could destroy every one of them.

The AirPods Pro 3 launched on September 19 and is the newest generation AirPods Pro. Like its predecessor, this is easily the best earbuds for anyone who uses an iPhone. Although it looks pretty similar to the 2nd gen AirPods, there are some pretty significant improvements under the hood. The most notable new feature is the built-in heart rate sensing (which means you don't need an Apple Watch anymore), but the AirPods Pro 3 improves in other subtle ways as well, including better audio quality, better noise cancelation, long battery life, and a more weatherproof IP57 shell.

Released alongside the AirPods Pro 3 was Apple's "Live Translation", which is an Apple Intelligence feature that translates other languages on the fly. This isn't exclusive to the AirPods Pro since it can also be used with the 2nd gen AirPods Pro and the AirPods 4. First hand reports have been generally very positive, including this take from PCMag.

The Asus ROG Strix G16 gaming laptop features a 16" 1920x1200 IPS display, AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX processor, GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5600MHz, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. It measures 0.9" thin and weighs about 5.5 pounds. It's not the lightest laptop on the block, but that's because the Strix models put more emphasis on maximum performance and cooling. This is a pretty high-end model from Asus, sitting just under the Scar lineup and side by side with the Zephyrus lineup. The top lid boasts solid aluminum construction, but the base is made of plastic to keep the weight down and reduce heat transfer to the keyboard and palm area so that your hands don't get toasty while gaming.

The GeForce RTX 5070 Ti mobile GPU can handle the most demanding games

The RTX 5070 Ti mobile GPU is comparable in performance to the previous generation's RTX 4080 and pulls ahead of it in games that support DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation. It should easily be able to handle even the newest and most demanding games like Ghost of Yotei, Battlefield 6, and Borderlands 4 on the native 1920x1200 display.

Dell is currently offering an Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 gaming PC for $2,249.99 with free delivery after a $580 instant discount. This isn't the lowest price it has ever been, but it's a significant drop from the beginning of the year when it was priced closer to $2,800. If you're looking for a future-proof system, this RTX 5080 equipped PC should be powerful enough to set you up for 4K gaming for years to come.

This customizable system is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB SSD. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F is a 20-core processor with a max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz. It's cooled by a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooling system. The 1,000W power supply gives you headroom for upgrades down the road.

The GeForce RTX 5080 GPU will run any game in 4K

Performance-wise, the RTX 5080 is no slouch. It's one of the fastest cards on the market, bested only by the $2,000 RTX 5090 and the discontinued $1,600 RTX 4090. This is a phenomenal card for playing the latest, most demanding games in 4K resolution at high settings and ray tracing enabled. The RTX 5080 supports DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation, which means you can push even more frames out of games that support the technology with minimal visual compromise. Recent games that support it include Doom: The Dark Ages, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Borderlands 4, Stellar Blade, and Battlefield 6. Check out our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review for our hands-on impressions.

Mega Froslass ex may sit at the bottom of this list, but its appeal is far from modest. The artwork leans into icy elegance, placing Froslass against a stark, wintry backdrop that feels painterly rather than action-packed. That sort of subdued aesthetic stands apart from the chaos of other Mega Evolutions, making it a sure favourite among collectors who value atmospheric art over spectacle.

In play, Mega Froslass ex has carved out a niche as a disruptive attacker. Its ability to punish large hands and inflict Sleep introduces awkward sequencing for opponents, particularly in slower, resource-heavy matchups. While not a format-defining threat, its control-oriented design has kept it relevant enough to justify its premium status.

9. N’s Zoroark ex (286/217)

Another of the most valuable Pokémon cards in Ascended Heroes, this Special Illustration Rare thrives on narrative as much as mechanics. The artwork places N alongside Zoroark in a richly detailed scene that echoes the duo’s moral ambiguity, rendered in muted tones that feel almost storybook-like.

Gameplay-wise, N’s Zoroark ex remains a utility powerhouse. Its Trade ability seems like one of the most efficient new draw engines in the game, while Night Joker’s attack-copying effect grants immense flexibility. That versatility should keep Zoroark shells relevant across multiple formats, making this version a collector favourite that still earns its keep at the table.

8. Iono’s Bellibolt ex (279/217)

Few Pokémon cards in Ascended Heroes feel as vibrant as Iono’s Bellibolt ex; bursting with neon colours and cartoony expressions, the artwork mirrors Iono’s on-screen energy perfectly — instantly giving the card the kind of big personality we know her for.

That personality translates cleanly into gameplay, too. Electric Streamer allows relentless Energy acceleration, enabling aggressive Lightning strategies to overwhelm opponents before they stabilise. While Bellibolt ex requires careful management to avoid overextending, as Thunderous Bolt stops it from attacking the next turn, its all-around explosiveness has made it a popular addition.

7. Marnie’s Grimmsnarl ex (287/217)

Dark, brooding, and unapologetically stylish, Marnie’s Grimmsnarl ex delivers one of the expansion’s particularly striking character moments — with Marnie’s defiant look pairing with Grimmsnarl’s looming presence, feeling like a thrilling anime snapshot.

Competitively, Grimmsnarl ex rewards evolution-based strategies with efficient Energy acceleration and reliable spread damage. Its consistency has made it a staple in Darkness archetypes, and the Trainer-Pokémon pairing adds enduring collector appeal beyond raw power.

6. Mega Feraligatr ex (274/217)

Another expensive Pokémon TCG entry from Ascended Heroes, this card feels like pure momentum, with Mega Feraligatr’s erupting from crashing water, all sharp angles and violent motion, perfectly communicating its role as a bruiser.

Mortal Crunch excels at punishing damaged Pokémon, allowing Mega Feraligatr ex to close games with alarming speed once pressure is applied. Its straightforward, punishing design should resonate with players who favour decisive turns and collectors who appreciate its unapologetic ferocity.

5. Lillie’s Clefairy ex (280/217)

Few cards in Ascended Heroes are as emotionally resonant as Lillie’s Clefairy ex. The artwork is soft, joyful, and intimate, capturing a tender moment that stands in deliberate contrast to the set’s more bombastic Megas.

Despite its gentle presentation, Clefairy ex carries surprising competitive weight. Fairy Zone’s Weakness manipulation can completely warp matchups, while Full Moon Rondo scales effectively in Bench-heavy formats. Its blend of charm and tactical impact is expected to keep pushing demand well beyond casual collectors.

4. Mega Diancie ex (282/217)

One of Ascended Heroes’ most bedazzling cards, Mega Diancie ex looks like a gemstone brought to life before going under a Sailor Moon transformation. Like Mega Gardevoir ex in the Mega Evolution base set, the pastel-heavy illustration gives off pure elegance and symmetry, creating one of the most visually refined cards in the set.

Diamond Coat grants meaningful damage reduction, while Garland Ray offers flexible scaling that rewards precise Energy management. Mega Diancie ex will likely find a comfortable role in defensive Psychic builds, and its graceful presentation ensures it remains highly desirable even outside tournament play.

3. Mega Dragonite ex (290/217)

The poster child of Ascended Heroes, it’s no surprise that Mega Dragonite ex is one of the most valuable Pokémon TCG newcomers in the expansions, as well as being a pure joy rendered in colour. The artwork is lively and whimsical in an almost magical tone, depicting Dragonite soaring through a dreamlike sky.

On the battlefield, though, Sky Transport introduces constant positional control, while Ryuno Glide delivers devastating damage with surprising efficiency. Dragonite’s popularity as a Pokémon in general, combined with genuine competitive utility, has made this one of the most sought-after pulls in Ascended Heroes.

2. Mega Charizard Y ex (294/217)

Gold cards rarely divide opinion, but Mega Charizard Y ex embraces the style choice’s excess unapologetically. Like those that came before, this Mega Hyper Rare treatment transforms Charizard into a glowing icon, stripped of detail yet radiating prestige.

Explosion Y hits brutally hard, too, with this singular move capable of swinging games in just one attack. That raw power, paired with Charizard’s evergreen popularity, is likely to keep this card a centrepiece of big collections.

1. Mega Gengar ex (284/217)

The most valuable card among the Pokémon TCG’s new Ascended Heroes expansion, Mega Gengar ex stands at the summit of this expensive top ten. Not only is the artwork grippingly chaotic with five menacing, swirling colours, but Gengar’s predatory grin feels alive within the frame, too.

Gameplay-wise, Mega Gengar ex offers both disruption and efficiency. Shadowy Concealment’s Prize manipulation subtly shifts tempo, while Void Gale enables smooth Energy redistribution. Combined with Ascended Heroes’ extreme scarcity at MSRP and iconic design, it’s little wonder this card commands a near four-figure market price.

Where to Buy Ascended Heroes Sealed Boosters

The Ascended Heroes expansion has officially kicked off Pokémon TCG’s 2026 run, but there are only a couple of places where you can reliably buy ETBs, booster packs, and collections right now. Note, outside of keeping up with deal trackers, you’ll likely have to pay above retail price for the time being.

That’s along with not every product even being launched on that 30 January release date. That said, we’ll give you a full breakdown of the best places to get your buy for Pokémon preorders for whichever Mega Evolution: Ascended Heroes products you’re looking out for.

For more Pokémon TCG, consider checking out our full roundup of the most valuable cards from 2025, alongside the pricest pulls from Mega Evolution's other recent expansion, Phantasmal Flames.

There are no active discounts available for HBO Max, so your best bet for savings (assuming you're already on the hook for more than one subscription) is by checking out some bundles.

Our favorite streaming bundle includes Disney Plus, Hulu, and HBO Max. The deal can be purchased through any of the three streaming services and starts at $19.99/month for the ad-supported tier or $32.99/month for ad-free access across all three platforms. It'll save you quite a bit compared to what you'd pay for the three of them separately per month – 43% on the ad-supported plan and 42% on the ad-free plan.

To learn more about how to get started with this bundle as a new or existing subscriber, head to our guide on how to get (or switch over to) the Disney+/Hulu/HBO Max streaming bundle.

Students Get 50% off HBO Max Basic With Ads

If you're a student, you can score the HBO Max Basic With Ads plan for just $5.49/month. That's 50% off the usual price, which is a very nice deal to take advantage of. In order to get the discount, you'll need to verify your student status with UNiDAYS, then you'll get a unique code that you can use to redeem the discounted plan.

Subscribe to HBO Max

If you're just looking to sign up for a HBO Max subscription, there are a few different options to choose from:

• $10.99/month Basic With Ads
• $109.99/year Basic With Ads
• $18.49/month Standard (ad-free)
• $184.99/year Standard (ad-free)

The Basic and Standard tiers allow up to two concurrent streams and offer Full HD resolution. The Standard tier allows users to download shows and movies to watch on the go, too.

HBO Max also has an additional Premium tier, which offers 4K UHD resolution and Dolby Atmos sound alongside four concurrent streams. The details are as follows:

• $22.99/month, ad-free with four concurrent streams
• $229.99/year, ad-free with four concurrent streams

There is currently no HBO Max free trial available, so you'll need to be a paying subscriber to access the service.

What's Streaming on HBO Max?

HBO Max features a wide variety of programming. New additions to HBO Max in February include Paddington 2, The Shape of Water, and The Notebook, as well as the continued first season of the new Game of Thrones spin-off, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.

Otherwise, the service includes shows from brands like HGTV, Food Network, TLC, and the Magnolia Network. Of course, one of the big draws of HBO Max is HBO Originals like The Last of Us, Succession, Barry, Curb Your Enthusiasm, The White Lotus, House of the Dragon, and more. It also includes DC's slate of movies and shows like Superman and Peacemaker, as well as other popular Warner Bros. films like Mickey 17 and Sinners. Plus, HBO Max continues to house popular streaming series like Friends, Full House, and the Harry Potter movie collection.

Back when it was still called 'Max', we gave the streaming service an 8/10 in our review, stating that, "For all its problems and an app that still runs a little too heavy, the extensive selection of well-curated choices make Max a worthwhile investment for cinema and TV lovers."

The LG G5 is currently our top pick for a gaming TV, but the price on those refelcts their quality. Which is to say they're really expensive. If you want a deal on a terrific TV in a more reasonable price range, you might want to consider picking an LG C3, which costs significantly less for the same size TV.

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is only available to preorder for the original Switch, though Nintendo did note in a recent announcement that the game will "be playable on Nintendo Switch 2." It's currently unclear if a dedicated Switch 2 version will eventually be released. There's also no mention of a preorder bonus at the moment, though we're keeping an eye out to see if anything changes.

What Is Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream?

It's been over a decade since the last Tomodachi game, and the most recent Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream Nintendo Direct gave us plenty of details about what to expect from this new installment. Set against a little island paradise you get to make your own, the game allows you to fully customize the Mii characters that inhabit it.

According to Nintendo, you can customize them "right down to their personalities, little quirks and living spaces, then see what weird and wonderful things they’ll get up to. Give them an occasional nudge to divulge what’s on their minds, help them solve life’s problems, cultivate their friendships and more." Nintendo has also made the game more inclusive than before, offering a range of options for your character's gender, voice, and dating preferences.

Other Preorder Guides

Curious what else is available to preorder right now? Have a look through our list of preorder guides below to start securing some new additions for your library, whether you're interested in Pokémon Pokopia, Mario Tennis Fever, or Resident Evil Requiem. There's plenty of upcoming Switch 2 games to look forward to in 2026 already.

Until February 17, you can get one month of Disney+ and Hulu (with ads) for $9.99, $2 less than standalone subscriptions to either service. Sure, it's not a door-stopping discount, but it's a decent way to test out the Disney waters or catch up on a particular series.

How to Get the Disney Plus, Hulu, and HBO Max Streaming Bundle

Want a way to save on your Disney+ membership sooner rather than later? Bundles are a great, affordable way to go. Our top recommendation is the Disney+, Hulu, and HBO Max streaming bundle can be purchased through any of the three streaming services and starts at $19.99/month for the ad-supported tier or $32.99/month for ad-free access across the three platforms. If you currently own all three and want to cut down on costs, this is a great way to bundle them together and save big on what you'd pay for them separately per month – 42% on the ad-supported plan and 43% on the ad-free plan.

Every Other Disney+ Bundle Option

Beyond HBO Max, you can also choose to bundle Disney+ with just Hulu or the all-new ESPN Unlimited service. Here's the breakdown of all your bundle options:

• Disney+, Hulu Bundle is $12.99/month and comes with subscriptions to Disney+ and Hulu. This plan lets you stream on multiple devices at once and comes with ad-supported versions of both services.
• Disney+, Hulu Bundle Premium is $19.99/month and comes with Hulu and Disney+ with no ads. It also includes Disney+ Premium features like the ability to download shows to watch on the go.
• Disney+, Hulu, ESPN Select Bundle adds ESPN Select (With Ads) to the mix alongside Disney+ (With Ads) and Hulu (With Ads), bumping up the price to $19.99/month. You can also download and watch select content on ESPN Select at this level.
• Disney+, Hulu, ESPN Select Bundle Premium is $29.99/month and comes with ESPN Select (With Ads) and ad-free versions of Disney+ and Hulu. You can also download select content across all three streaming services.
• Disney+, Hulu, ESPN Unlimited Bundle is $35.99/month and includes the new ESPN Unlimited service with live ESPN coverage as well as Hulu and Disney+ (With Ads).
• Disney+, Hulu, ESPN Unlimited Bundle Premium is $44.99/month. The big difference here is you get the ad-free versions of Hulu and Disney+.

What About Standalone Disney+ Subscriptions?

Disney+ is available in a couple of different tiers. You can get the least expensive option (simply called Disney+) for $11.99/month, which gives you access to everything except the ability to download select shows to watch on the go. This tier is ad supported. If you want to get rid of ads and be able to download certain shows, you can spring for the $18.99/month or $189.99/year Disney+ Premium package.

What Is the Paid Sharing Plan on Disney Plus?

In an effort to crack down on password sharing, Disney has added a paid sharing plan for individuals outside of your household. Basically, anyone using your account that's not within your household will have to be added as an "Extra Member" to your account. This costs an additional $6.99/month for the ad-supported subscription and $9.99/month for the Premium ad-free plan, and only one Extra Member slot is available per account. You can learn more from Disney's paid sharing explainer here.

Disney+ Gift Cards

If you want to help someone out and give them a gift that will keep on giving, gifting a one-year Disney+ card is a great option. It provides all the great things Disney+ offers and it costs a fraction of what it would take to buy even a small sampling of those movies physically.

What Can You Watch on Disney+?

There is a bonkers array of shows and movies you can watch on Disney+. Highlights coming to Disney+ in February include the return of The Muppet Show, a new season of The Artful Dodger, and a 24/7 Hannah Montana stream. For new and potential subscribers, here's a deeper dive into what's available on the service:

Disney

On the Disney front, you have awesome classic movies like The Sword In The Stone, Robin Hood, 101 Dalmations, Hercules, and Sleeping Beauty, modern classics like The Princess & The Frog, Tangled, and Frozen, and a wide range of animated shows, including Phineas & Ferb.

You also gain access to a ton of vintage content like Escape to Witch Mountain, The Apple Dumpling Gang, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes, The Love Bug, and a whole lot more. The Disney Junior section is home to absolutely top tier animated shows like Bluey (which, for my money, is worth the price of admission on its own).

There's way more on offer, too, including a ton of Muppet movies, new live-action films and adaptions (including the new Snow White), nature programs, documentaries, Pirates of the Caribbean, and musical programs featuring Taylor Swift (like her wildly popular The Eras Tour), Elton John, Ed Sheeran, and more.

Pixar

When it comes to computer generated films, Pixar stands alone. Kicking off the revolution with Toy Story, Pixar has consistently put out fantastic films, and they are all here. From the Toy Story series to Finding Nemo, Cars, and more recent hits like Inside Out 2, there is a ton to love.

Beyond even that, there are incredible shorts like Bao and Party Central, as well as a wide range of originals and series based on major films, such as Dory's Reef Cam, Forky Asks A Question, Cars On The Road, and more.

Marvel

The MCU has become a true juggernaut, and there are many viewers who subscribe to Disney+ purely for access to nearly the entire MCU lineup of films and shows.

Whether you are a fan of the blockbuster action films, you are an appreciator of the classic 90s runs of "Saturday morning" cartoons like X-Men, or you are currently vibing to the funky theme of the 1981 Spider-Man series, there is a ton of Marvel to enjoy on Disney+. And with new movies and shows being added to the MCU all the time, including most recently the series Wonder Man, there is always more coming.

Star Wars

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, there was a film that changed everything. The original Star Wars is a seminal sci-fi fantasy work that inspired generations of creators, but there is still nothing quite like that far away galaxy. Disney+ grants access to all things Star Wars, including the remastered versions of the original trilogy (hopefully some day they'll add the theatrical cuts, too), as well as the prequels and sequels.

You can also stay up-to-date on all the latest shows, including The Mandalorian and the critically-lauded Andor, which recently wrapped up its second and final season. There are also fantastic short series like Star Wars Visions, and longer-form series like The Clone Wars, The Bad Batch, Young Jedi Adventures, and a whole lot more.
