Is Rogue One: A Star Wars Story on Netflix?
By Reed Gaudens
Perhaps one of the most well-loved modern Star Wars movies, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was the inaugural anthology film in the franchise released in 2016. In September 21, Disney+ will release Andor, the prequel series based on Diego Luna’s titular character.
Rogue One stars Felicity Jones as Jyn Erso, a young renegade who teams up with other members of the resistance to help the Rebel Alliance obtain the plans for the Death Star… which, as we all know, becomes the greatest source of villainy in the galaxy. The film has been said to take place mere days before the events of A New Hope.
Upon its release in December 2016, the film earned mostly positive reviews and went on the gross over one billion dollars at the worldwide box office. Because it was such a big hit, it’s no wonder Andor is coming to continue the story of one of the franchise’s most underrated characters.
Unfortunately, Rogue One isn’t available to watch on Netflix. Although Star Wars movies have been available to watch on Netflix in the past, Disney’s ownership of the franchise means we won’t be going to a galaxy far, far away on Netflix in the near future. But here’s where Star Wars buffs can get their fix before tuning into Andor.
Where to watch Rogue One
The only streaming service to watch Rogue One: A Star Wars Story on with a subscription is Disney+, where all of the Star Wars movies call home. In addition to Disney+, the prequel spin-off is available to rent on purchase on other services such as Apple TV+ and Amazon Prime Video.
While there’s nothing quite like Rogue One on Netflix, there are plenty of titles with similar themes available to add to your watch list like Black Crab, The Adam Project, The Old Guard, and Blade Runner 2049. (The latter movie is currently available on Netflix as of September 2022.)
For more Felicity Jones on Netflix, check out the Netflix original movies The Last Letter From Your Love and The Midnight Sky. For more Diego Luna on Netflix, watch the hit original series Narcos: Mexico. You can’t go wrong with any of these titles starring the talented stars.
