The Rogue One: A Star Wars Story spinoff movie had a nice run in the theaters and soon it will be available for streaming online. Sure, there are countless websites online that allow you to stream illegal copies of the movie. Those who don’t want to indulge in that behavior will be able to stream Rogue One online starting next month as Netflix will be adding the movie to its library.
Netflix today confirmed that it will add Rogue One: A Star Wars Story to its library in July 2017. This has been made possible due to an exclusivity agreement signed by Netflix and Disney back in 2012.
Netflix has previously played host to the Clone Wars series, it even debuted the final season of the series in 2014.
The agreement gives Netflix the right to stream films from Disney and its subsidiaries like Marvel, Pixar, and Lucasfilm in the same period of time that the movies are made available to TV networks. The agreement mentioned that Netflix would get this level of access starting in 2017.
This is going to be the first time that Netflix subscribers in the United States will be able to stream a Star Wars motion picture on one of the world’s most popular online streaming service.
