For me that says it is part of Disney+ but that a price rise comes at the same time. Not that there are two subscriptions?

Star looks to be a bit like Hulu ie more adult-oriented content. In the US, I believe they're bundled together so having Star as part of Disney + in Europe makes sense and justifies the price rise.

As Disney co-owns Hulu with Comcast (will be 100% Disney owned in a few years) I suspect that it is chosing to role out this type of content under the Star brand instead of Hulu. I can understand if Comcast didn't want to invest in a service which competed with Sky and Peacock if it has a deal to sell its shares in Hulu.
