Over time, the runtimes for Star Wars films have trended upwards. Starting out at just over two hours, Star Wars: A New Hope really set the tone of brevity for the franchise — one that would slowly be abandoned over the decades as the plot became more convoluted and the mythology denser. In fact, Star Wars: The Last Jedi clocked in at 152 minutes, the longest thus far in the franchise.

Until this December. Tickets have finally gone on sale for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and with that, we also had a reveal of the runtime — and I will say, it’s not a surprise. Not too long ago, we reported the film at 155 minutes based on the runtime submitted to theaters for their planning purposes. It looks like they were spot-on, as the updated runtime is the exact same.

So, as it stands, you can expect to have to hold your bladder for 2 hours and 35 minutes. It’s no Avengers: Endgame by any means, but it’s a hefty chunk of Star Wars to end the entire saga on. So, if you wanted to go out on a lengthy note, it looks like The Rise of Skywalker will do.
