In just over a month, when you head out to finally see Star Wars: The Force Awakens, you’re going to want to carve out a sizeable chunk of time. Unless you want to sit right up front, or worse, crammed into the furthest corners of the theatres, you’ll need to arrive reasonably — okay, probably unreasonably early — wait in a substantial line, and protect your seat with the viciousness of an angry mother badger. And beyond that, the movie is going to occupy a decent amount of your day as well, as we now know how long The Force Awakens will run.
A while back, reports started making the rounds that said the movie would clock in at 136 minutes. With the tsunami of information coming out over the last few days from EW, Slashfilm dug through it all and discovered that Star Wars: The Force Awakenswill run two-hours-and-fifteen-minutes long. And between the opening crawl and the rumored post-credits scene teasing Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, you’ll probably wind up sticking around for every last second.
Those of you competent in the mathematical realm, or who at least have ready access to a calculator, know that two-hours-and-fifteen-minutes equals 135 minutes, which is pretty damn close to the rumoured 136 minutes. While that’s very true, this is a more concrete number, as the film-makers were still editing the movie before. According to the report, on November 3, at midnight, director, co-writer, and overall mastermind J.J. Abrams locked picture on The Force Awakens. This means that, while they’re still working to finalize visual effects, sound, music, and that sort of thing, the actual editing process is finished.
A ton of stuff has happened in that far, far away galaxy, and when Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens on December 18, we’ll find out how they fit all of that into two-hours-and-fifteen-minutes.
