Disney+ Star Wars Concept Art Takeover Preview

As announced earlier this week, Disney+ will honour the artistry of Star Wars with concept art takeovers on the service. This is the first design refresh for Disney+ since launch and it brings to life the immersive nature of the platform’s unique dedicated brand pages.

On Friday, May 1st, the Disney+ homepage carousel will feature Star Wars concept art from the legendary Ralph McQuarrie from his 1975 painting of the droids in the desert. For the first time, fans will be able to navigate to a dedicated brand page directly from carousel art. Once immersed in the Star Wars brand page fans will be treated to an adaption of character art from the Star Wars Celebration 2019 commemorative mural by Jason Palmer and other celebrated artists.
