The fourth episode of Willow is now available! The new Disney+ Original Series from Lucasfilm and Imagine Entertainment is based on the 1988 feature film, an epic fantasy adventure production with a modern sensibility set in an enchanted land of breathtaking beauty. In this continuation, in a world where elves, wizards, trolls and other mystical creatures live, the story continues as an unlikely group of heroes sets out on a perilous quest to places far beyond their home, where they must face their inner demons and unite to save your world.
Despite being a Lucasfilm production, Willow is not part of the STAR WARS universe. The new series is one of the studio’s most varied stories. Understand below:
