The May lineup of new material on Disney+ contains several of the things you like most about the streaming service: "Star Wars," beloved old movies, and documentaries about Disney itself. Some of what to look forward to includes:

- “The Princess Bride” (May 1.) My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, and this beloved sendup of fairy tale conventions is headed for Disney+. Adapted by William Goldman from his own novel and directed by Rob Reiner, the film stars Cary Elwes, Robin Wright, Billy Crystal, Wallace Shawn, and Mandy Patinkin.

- “How to Play Baseball” (May 1.) This short from 1942, featuring Goofy explaining baseball, was originally run in theaters prior to the classic "Pride of the Yankees." Now, it's coming to streaming.

- “George of the Jungle" (May 1.) This Tarzan spoof, starring Brendan Fraser, was a surprise hit when it came out in 1997, and finally heads to Disney+ Friday.

- “Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian” (May 2.) The Star Wars universe-set Mandalorian is Disney+'s biggest original hit, and now the streaming service is debuting an eight-part behind-the-scenes documentary about making of the show. The series is hosted by actor/director Jon Favreau, who created “The Mandalorian,” and expect to learn the story of how Baby Yoda came to be.

- “Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker” (May 4.) May the 4th is, of course, Star Wars Day, and this year's will feature the streaming debut of last year's "Star Wars" movie, which the company announced it was putting on Disney+ two months early. The arrival of "Rise of Skywalker," which has led the DVD and Blu-ray sales charts in recent weeks, means that every "Star Wars" movie is now available on Disney+.
