Disney's streaming service won't include Star Wars movies released before 2019.

Per Variety, Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed that only Star Wars films released in 2019 and beyond will come to the video service.

“The marketing will make clear that it’s not going to be on there,” Iger said, speaking about pre-2019 Star Wars titles. “But Star Wars movies that come out in 2019 and later, you’ll find them there.”

This will exclude The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and the original Star Wars trilogy, among several other movies. Due to this lack of Star Wars content, Iger suggested the streaming platform could cost less than Netflix, according to Variety.

Disney sold its Star Wars TV rights to AT&T’s Turner Broadcasting back in 2016 for $275 million. The deal is set to last until 2024, and includes Star Wars movies released between 1977 and 2005, as well as newer titles. According to recent reports, Disney is actively looking to buy back these TV rights so it can offer the films on its video service.

The streaming service, launching in 2019, won't feature R-rated content but will include newer Marvel movies, such as Captain Marvel.
