“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” will stream on Netflix, but only in Canada. That is the only place to secure streaming rights thus far.
The reason that it is not streaming here in the US has to do with timing. The timing of when Disney pay-TV distribution deals are up for the taking. In the US, Starz has a deal with Disney that goes to the end of this year. Netflix has a deal with Disney that starts with 2016 movies. Star Wars: The Force Awaken is going to be released this year so that means that Starz will be the chosen one for the movie. It will stream on Netflix, in Canada, about 8 months after it is released in theaters.
You may remember we told you about the new subscription service called DisneyLife that will be launching in the UK. Well, movies from Marvel and Star Wars will not be included in that, Disney might launch subscription services for each of those franchises at some point.
