Google TV celebrates Star Wars Day with a homescreen row your inner geek will love
May the 4th be with you! Star Wars Day has found itself more and more deeply ingrained in geek culture over the years — it’s a day to celebrate all things lightsabers, the Force, the Jedi, and the Sith (well, maybe not so much them). If you want to spend your evening re-watching all your favorite Star Wars movies and shows, whether that’s the good trilogy, the garbage trilogy, the other trilogy (have fun debating which is which in the comments), or any of the spin-offs,Google TVwants to make things a little easier for you by adding a handy row with shortcuts to them all.
How to use Google’s version of Plex
Google TV is once again showcasing Star Wars content on its main screen, just like it did last year (spotted this time by9to5Google). Scrolling down from the “Keep Watching” row, you’ll find a new row called “May the 4th Be With You,” highlighting Star Wars content in your library and on Disney+. The row will give you easy access to newer movies likeThe Rise of Skywalker, older ones likeA New Hope, and even the often-polarizing prequel trilogy which includes movies likeAttack of the Clones. You also get quick access toThe Book of Boba Fett,The Mandalorian, andThe Bad Batch.
They show up in no particular watching order, and unless you have Star Wars movies in your library, most of the row will be shortcuts to Disney+, so a subscription to the streaming service is pretty much mandatory (Mandaloratory?) to enjoy this day to the fullest.
To see this new row, just boot up your Google TV-powered television or streaming stick, and scroll down from “Keep Watching.” Once May 4th ends, the content will still be on Disney+ just like it has been this whole time — we’re really just telling you this because you have a good excuse to re-watch Star Wars movies today, and you might as well take advantage of it.
