The trailer for"The Mandalorian" — the first live-action"Star Wars" TV series — strikingly looks and feels like a movie ad. And that's just the way Disney and its new streaming service, Disney+, want it.

"Game of Thrones" certainly served notice that there's an appetite for epic storytelling on the home screen.

Several new series, by contrast, appear to up the ante in that regard, including"The Mandalorian," Netflix's upcoming"The Witcher" — starring Superman actor Henry Cavill and a long-gestating Amazon series based on"The Lord of the Rings." Still, the beauty of streaming is that the model provides, well, a steady stream of revenue. And at $6.99 a month for Disney+, the tally from such a venture can add up fast if the studio can amass 90 million subscribers or more within five years.
