Here’s how the Star Wars movies break down when you compare the length of the film’s soundtracks to the length of the films (rounded to the nearest minute):


The Phantom Menace – Film length: 2 hours 13 minutes, Soundtrack length: 1 hour 14 minutes

Attack of the Clones – Film length: 2 hours 22 minutes, Soundtrack length:1 hour 14 minutes

Revenge of the Sith – Film length: 2 hours 20 minutes, Soundtrack length: 1 hour 12 minutes

Star Wars – Film length: 2 hours 1 minute, Soundtrack length: 1 hour 15 minutes

The Empire Strikes Back – Film length: 2 hours 4 minutes, Soundtrack length: 1 hour 15 minutes

Return of the Jedi – Film length: 2 hours 12 minutes, Soundtrack length: 45 minutes

The Force Awakens – Film length: 2 hours 15 minutes, Soundtrack length: 1 hour 17 minutes

The Last Jedi – Film length: 2 hours 32 minutes, Soundtrack length: 1 hour 18 minutes



Looking at each of the scores compared to the length of the film, it appears that there’s usually roughly one hour less music than film footage. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean we’ll be getting a Star Wars movie that’s 3 hours long, and there’s a chance that not all the music being written for the movie actually ends up being used in it. Furthermore, the score used in the film usually differs somewhat from a film’s given soundtrack release.

Williams recoded 135 minutes of music. That suggests it’s around or over 180 minutes

No way this thing is 3 hours long.

The breakdowns above suggest it might be.
I think it’s gonna be really long.

It’s worth pressing play

I think it'll be the longest SW film to date. Probably under 3, though. I'd guess 2hr 44mins.

Maybe it will be 3 hours long to fit in all the retconning and Palpatine exposition.

Why did I think the last Jedi was over three hours?

Oh...yeah...that’s why

What retconning do you predict?

Podcast I listen to pointed out something I never thought about.

The whole ‘why didn’t you tell me?’ Vader father ‘certain point of view’ thing is probably THE biggest retcon in all film history.

And!!!

Made worse by obi wan even in this moment not telling him he killed his father!

Resurrecting Palpatine (spiritual or physical), artifacts, etc. Maybe not textbook retconning, but close.

I don’t know what wayfinder is

Wouldn’t call Palpatine a retcon. Loads of the new canon pointed directly to him being involved at some point. Even if you disregard keneddy and jj saying he was always in the plan, he’s there in loads of it. But I take your point. Could be seen that way.

Sorry, I used a word that I was out in the open. It has been changed.

Palpatine's death seemed pretty definitive in RotJ. He hasn't been referenced in the next films at all. I wonder if most of the marketing material here is a misdirect though.

It takes two or three lines of dialogue from Palpatine to fix that. Know that way the baddie always reveals his plan to the plucky kids just before the end? Something about Snoke was useful and served his purpose corrupting the blood of skywalker over to the darrrrrk sssiiieeeede but now he’s here to finish what he started (eh?)

Something like that I’d be happy.

I know we’re gonna get the how and the why of him in this but expanded out in books etc

Will that be satisfying to casual movie goers though? Those who thought he died in RotJ?

Hey guys

Palps didnt look like he was okay with dying at the end of Jedi. he looked pretty shocked and mortified with it.

as if it wasn't his plan all along

He did have Operation: Cinder in place.

The right honorable gentlemen from Denver and Belgium made my case for me
