Now Streaming: 'Skywalker' completes 'Star Wars' saga at full tilt

Here’s what’s new for home viewing on video on demand, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu and other streaming services.

TOP STREAMS FOR THE WEEK

• “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” (2019, PG-13) brings the final trilogy in the odyssey begun by George Lucas in the original 1977 “Star Wars” to its conclusion with a roller coaster ride of a science fiction adventure. J.J. Abrams directs the finale, which brings Skywalker apostle Rey (Daisy Ridley) and Vader acolyte Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) together to save … well, the universe. No, it’s not the best of the series, and Abrams relies on cliché over invention, but it sure does move at a breakneck pace. Now available on Disney Plus, making the entire nine-movie series (plus the two spinoffs) available to subscribers.

• Music, family and the French underworld collide in “The Eddy” (2020, not rated, with subtitles), a limited series starring André Holland as a retired American musician who opens a jazz club in modern-day Paris. As he attempts to put together a house band that he can be proud of, his business manager (Tahar Rahim of “A Prophet”) keeps the criminal world at bay. Joanna Kulig (“Cold War”) costars as the club chanteuse and Amandla Stenberg is Holland’s teenage daughter, who unexpectedly shows up. Oscar-winner Damien Chazelle co-produces and directs the first two episodes of the lavish, music-filled production created by Jack Thorne (who adapted “His Dark Materials” for HBO). Eight episodes streaming on Netflix starting Friday.

• “The Hustle” (2019, PG-13) reworks “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” for Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson, who play con artists on the French Riviera who target men and go to war with each other in a comic battle of wiles. It streams on Amazon Prime Video and Hulu.

• The documentary “Spaceship Earth” (2020) chronicles the story of the eight volunteers who spent two years isolated inside Biosphere 2, a giant replica of the earth’s ecosystem, in 1991. On video on demand, cable on demand and streaming on Hulu starting Friday.
