Star Wars: The Last Jedi Will Be Longest Film In Franchise Yet

Better moderate your soda intake while seeing Star Wars: The Last Jedi, because the film is set to be the longest yet in the franchise. According to IGN, director Rian Johnson has confirmed that the film will run a whopping 150 minutes (two hours and 30 minutes) in length, including credits.

So how does it compare to the other entries? Let’s break them down:

  • The Last Jedi – 150 minutes
  • Attack of the Clones – 142 minutes
  • Revenge of the Sith – 140 minutes
  • The Phantom Menace – 133 minutes
  • Rogue One – 133 minutes
  • Return of the Jedi – 131 minutes
  • The Force Awakens – 124 minutes
  • The Empire Strikes Back – 124 minutes
  • A New Hope – 121 minutes

So not only is Star Wars: The Last Jedi the longest film in the franchise, but it’s 26 minutes longer than The Force Awakens and 17 minutes longer than Rogue One. All in all, it sounds like there’s going to be a whole lot of content for us to digest, which we’re thrilled with. This franchise has never really been all about bloated runtimes, but when building off of and continuing the mythology we know and love, it is nice to see that they’re doing their best to at least give it the time it needs.

Are you excited for a longer running Star Wars film, or do you wish they’d keep it closer to the two hour mark? Let us know down below!
