Where to Stream: Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope



Powered by Reelgood

UPDATE: We reached out to Netflix earlier to see if Star Wars is, in fact, coming to the service and a spokesperson has responded that “the pages users are taking screen grabs of are from our DVD catalog and aren’t new. We don’t have any news on the streaming front.”

Rumors have been circulating through Reddit that Netflix streaming may be acquiring Episodes I-VI of George Lucas’ Star Wars franchise. News was first brought to our attention by way of Exstreamist and after doing some digging of our own, the proof may be in the screenshot below with a title page for Star Wars: Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. Though lacking any film stills, “More Like This” information, or a way to watch the film, the landing page still exists. For now.

Thanks to buzz on Reddit, title pages for four other films currently live on the platform:

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace

Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi

The only title page that has yet to be discovered is Episode IV: A New Hope.

It’s unclear whether or not this is a bug or a dry run for Netflix’s launch of the classic franchise. Since their split with EPIX, the streaming service has turned its attention to its partnership with Disney properties, which include future acquisitions of Marvel and Lucasfilm titles. In addition to the release of Netflix Original Marvel’s Jessica Jones on November 20, the platform might also be rolling out the first of its Lucasfilm library amidst the excitement surrounding The Force Awakens‘ December release.

JUST DISCOVERED: Lucas fans on Twitter have brought to our attention that title pages for the director’s American Graffiti and THX 1138 have also been discovered on the service.
