Whether it’s the fourth season of everyone’s favorite heartwarming soccer series Ted Lasso, the 14-time Emmy winner Widow’s Bay, or the 574-day run of the Anya Taylor-Joy-led movie The Gorge, the Apple TV charts are always packed with quality. Recently, the streamer decided to evolve from its seven-year tradition of only showcasing original movies by expanding its library to include a selection of non-Apple TV titles in a “Great Movies Available Now on Apple TV” section.
In the year that Spielberg finally returned to sci-fi with Disclosure Day— an Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor, and Colin Firth-led project that earned mixed reviews — his most beloved family sci-fi film has proven a big hit on Apple TV in the past month. If you’ve missed the spaceship and haven’t yet streamed E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, fear not, as you can now do so on a new streamer. As of October 1, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is available to stream on Starz.
Collider Exclusive · 8 Questions · 2 Minutes Which Star Wars Crew Should You Join? Falcon · Ghost · Skeleton Crew · Razor Crest
Eight honest questions about how you actually are: what your friends come to you for, how you handle a night that falls apart, what you want out of work, what keeps you going. Answer them and we will tell you which ship has your seat. Four crews are hiring: the smugglers, the rebels, the kids who got hopelessly lost, and the one man who works alone until he does not.

01
What role do you play in your friend group? Everybody has one, whether they admit it or not.
02
How do you pack for a trip? This says more about people than it should.
03
Your plans collapse an hour before. What do you do? Everybody reacts to this differently.
04
What would you actually want out of a job? Be honest rather than impressive.
05
What do people come to you for? You already know which one it is.
06
How do you handle a disagreement with a friend? This is where people differ most.
07
What does a really good Saturday night look like? No wrong answers, but there are revealing ones.
08
What actually keeps you going? Eight questions in, this is the one that picks your crew.
Docking Clamps Released Your Crew Is…
Four ships, four completely different reasons to be up there at all.
Here is the one that has your seat, what flying with them would cost you, and what it would give
back.
Star Wars · Original Trilogy · Since 1977
Millennium Falcon
You belong on the fastest piece of junk in the galaxy, with a
crew that took the job for the payday and then quietly stopped caring about the payday.
Nothing on the Falcon has ever gone according to plan, and everybody aboard prefers it that
way.
You improvise better than you prepare, which is why you keep ending up in situations
that a careful person would have avoided.
The Falcon is the only ship on this list that is genuinely funny, and half of that comes
from it breaking at the worst possible moment.
You would pretend the whole thing is transactional right up until somebody you like is
in trouble, and then the pretending stops instantly.
This crew is the reason the rebellion had a chance at all, and not one of them would
ever admit to that out loud.
Star Wars Rebels · Disney XD · 2014 to 2018
The Ghost
You belong with the crew that turned a tiny cell of misfits into
an actual rebellion. The Ghost is a home before it is a ship, and everybody who boards it
arrived with something broken that the rest of them decided to look after.
Found family is the whole engine here, and Rebels earns it by making you watch these
people choose each other over and over again.
You are in it for the cause, but what actually keeps you going is the four people who
would notice immediately if you stopped showing up.
Hera is one of the best captains in the franchise, and the show is smart enough to make
her competence the quiet centre of everything.
This crew pays for its wins, which is exactly what makes the wins land the way they do.
Skeleton Crew · Disney+ · Since 2024
The Skeleton Crew
You belong with the four kids who found a buried ship, launched
it by accident and are now extremely lost in a galaxy that eats people like them. Nobody
here knows what they are doing, and that turns out to be the fun of it.
Your instinct is to open the door that says do not open, and you would do it again
tomorrow.
Skeleton Crew is the closest Star Wars has come to an eighties adventure movie, where
the stakes are real but the wonder never gets sanded off.
You make friends out of whoever is standing next to you when things go wrong, which is a
genuinely useful survival skill.
The pirates in this one are properly frightening, and that is precisely why the kids
being out of their depth works so well.
The Mandalorian · Disney+ · Since 2019
The Razor Crest
You belong in the quietest ship in the galaxy, with one small
passenger and a code you have never explained to anybody. You told yourself this was a job,
and then it stopped being a job somewhere around the second week.
You work alone by preference and by habit, which lasts exactly as long as it takes for
somebody small to need looking after.
The Mandalorian works because almost nothing gets said out loud, and the armour does the
acting that a face usually would.
Your loyalty is narrow and absolute, so there are very few people on your list and
nothing will move you off it.
The Mandalorian and Grogu took all of that to the big screen over Memorial Day 2026, the
first Star Wars film in seven years.
Few ’80s films came close to achieving the same box office success as E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Split between $439 million in domestic revenue and a further $358 million from overseas markets, the film earned a global haul of almost $800 million against a budget of just $10.5 million, making it not just one of the most profitable projects of the decade, but one of the highest-grossing in total. The movie was also a big hit at the Academy Awards, winning four of its nine nominations during the 55th ceremony.
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is now available to stream on Starz. Make sure to stay tuned to Collider for the latest streaming stories.
