According to Rian Johnson, The Official Run Time for "STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI" is 150 Minutes which would make it the Longest "STAR WARS" Movie out of them all.

Da longer da better, right? Nope, this means Johnson can't edit or pace tightly. Prepare to sit through some slow, boring scenes.

Hopefully it means the action scenes are longer.

I'm okay with long movies. I am getting sick of movies being only a little over an hour -- even children's movies.
the second ju on grudge is not even a movie... it was mostly a reiteration of the first movie and was only an hour and a half to begin with. that might have been average running time but not when you spend most of the film and time on reiterating the first movie.

As long as the story backs up the length, I'm cool with it.

as long as it's not as bad as TFA, i don't see a problem. Well, the problem is that no matter how good TLJ is, the third one is still made by JarJar Abrams, so the trilogy is kinda doomed

LOL, I actually thought that "THE FORCE AWAKENS" was a Great and Fun "STAR WARS" Movie.

150 minute running time? This is just another problem with the current cinema, too long running times. When will they even learn?

Awesome. Longer does not equal better, but it'll be worth the price of admission.

Bear in mind you have 20 minutes of trailers/ads to sit through before the movie.

Advertisers would kill to be attached to Star Wars.

Film critic James Berardinelli just wrote an interesting new commentary on Star Wars and how pushing out lots of product with a lack of anticipation for it could franchise fatigue and lose money for Disney: www.reelviews.net/reelthoughts/reelthought_1511800876"Disney doesn’t get it but George did. Despite having paid $4B for Star Wars, Lucasfilm, and everything that goes with it, Disney doesn’t understand the fundamental reason why the franchise is so beloved and successful – why fans have taken such a proprietary interest that they turned on the creator when he did something that disappointed them. Disney is going to learn a little about the concept of “diminishing returns” and the lesson is going to hit them hard where it most hurts – in the pocketbook. In a song she wrote some six years before Star Wars reached movie screens, Carly Simon had this to say: “Anticipation, Anticipation…Is keeping me waiting.” In many ways, that’s the not-so-secret secret to Star Wars’ success: anticipation. Throughout the 38 years he ruled over the franchise, George Lucas only once rushed into something (the lamentable Star Wars Holiday Special) and the lesson he learned from that misstep led to an approach that has resulted in Star Wars achieving the longevity it has enjoyed. But we now live in an age of impatience, when fans seek out spoilers like the Holy Grail, and Disney has bought into this lock, stock, and barrel. Their shortsightedness will make a ton of money short-term (in large part because of the pent-up eagerness generated by Lucas’ approach) but will most likely kill Star Wars long-term." "Disney likes to take credit for the hype surrounding the release of The Force Awakens and it’s impossible to deny that they put a lot of $$ into the marketing. But the real reason there was such a tsunami of excitement about Episode VII was because of the anticipation – anticipation fostered by Lucas. It was his last great gift to those who had followed his creation for four decades. Disney doesn’t practice the doctrine of anticipation. They’re into immediate satiation. Eat too much and you’ll get a bellyache. That’s where we’re headed. No more waiting for three years between intra-trilogy chapters or a decade between trilogies. Two years max with stand-alones in between to make the time go faster. Merchandise everything – make Lucas look like a master of restraint when handing out licenses. Monetize. Monetize. Monetize. And, in all this, Star Wars is getting lost." "Rogue One made only a little more than half of what The Force Awakens did (looking at the domestic numbers). Apples to oranges, you say? Fair enough, although Rogue One had Darth Vader and The Death Star, two of Star Wars’ most iconic images. But even acknowledging that Rogue One wasn’t “mainline” Star Wars, it’s hard not to look at the numbers and conclude that something was missing. What was that “something”? Anticipation. The more frequently these movies are churned out, the less special they will become. Expect Episode VIII to make less than Episode VII. The Han Solo movie? The law of diminishing returns will be in full force. Disney may be able to milk nostalgia for a while – at least until Episode IX and a few other interim releases - but what then?" "There’s a cautionary tale there for Star Wars but one suspects Disney isn’t paying attention. The corporate view is to maximize profit now and let the future worry about the future. For many fans, especially those new to the franchise, that’s probably fine. For those of us who started in 1977, it’s disheartening. During all those years, we lived by the creed of anticipation. Now, it’s all about flooding the market with a hastily made product and inferior merchandise. Disney will make back their $4B and then some. In the process, they’ll bleed Star Wars dry and leave behind something we won’t recognize."
