While they might explore some dark themes, I don't expect anything bloody or super dark. That's probably going to be outside Disney's wheelhouse, and they generally don't want anything R rated. I'm not really seeing much outside maybe a darker theme at most.

... i've used the analogy before, but it would be much easier to contemporize a story about Mary Magdeline or the tax collector of Thomas than it would be to add on to Jesus's story

matthew was the tax collector

not sayin', just sayin'

They're not going super dark, no. But I do anticipate a bit more moral ambiguity and shades of grey stuff. Despite Boba doing the right thing in his episodes and helping Din, he's a guy who is really only ever on his own side. "Crime lord with a code" Boba could be interesting.

Agreed. I'm curious to see how it plays out.

"Crime lord with a code" Dexter in space could be interesting.

I may be making this up, but I swore I saw/heard they were going to use Hulu for that heavier stuff.

Hell, I’m still wondering how they do Moon Knight.

They're piloting a platform called Disney Star in foreign markets thats going to skew more mature. They may use Hulu for that here, but there have been some whispers about Disney+ absorbing Hulu if the Disney Star thing works out in the test markets.

If they absorb Hulu, I'd be ok with that as long as they don't bump the price up much.

That said, I'd keep it a separate app but all 3 apps under the Disney umbrella. I think families with kids would rather their kids just have access to Disney content.

For some reason, seeing Din watch Grogu go with Luke reminded me of the end of ET. Don't know if it was the music or what, but I was instantly reminded of it.

I just saw this for those of you wondering if Disney+ would get into darker shows/themes;

Doesn't get much darker than this.
