How long will AOTC be?

I'm guessing that AOTC will be the same as TPM, at 2 hrs and 15 minutes, give or take 5 minutes.

It seems that Lucas is wary of making a Star Wars movie that is too long. Personally I don't understand the need for 2 hour limits on movies....many of my favorite movies are 2 1/2 to 3 hours long and the time flies by. Unfortunately, Lucas seems to want these SW movies to be "children movies", and kids don't like sitting in one place for 3 hrs, no matter how cool the movie is. I find it hard to see how TPM can be a kid's movie since important parts of the plot revolve around intricate political events that no kid is going to understand. But then Lucas put in plenty of fart jokes and he showed Jar Jar stepping in poo, so that must be what makes it a kiddy movie. 😕

How long do you WANT AOTC to be?

I would like to see Lucas take a chance and make it 3 hours long. Certainly he has plenty of material to make such a long movie, and it would be a joy to every SW fan to experience such a long SW movie (assuming that it is a good movie).

However, I don't want there to be ANY intermissions. Remember how older movies that clocked in at around 3 hrs would have intermissions? In my not so humble opinion, if a movie "feels" long then it is too long. But a well made 3 hr movie will not seem long at all. I say make AOTC a glorious, non-stop 3 hours of vintage Star Wars entertainment. If it sucks then even 1.5 hours will be too long, but if it rocks we will all savor the 3 hr masterpiece.

2 hours and 9 minutes

I'd go with 2 hrs 12 min 😄

yeah, 9 is unlikely

It could be even longer, but I don't think it'll be too long...unfortunately

nah, always around 2 hours 10

Episode 2 will not bee 3 hours long, but I think that episode 3 could be. There's too buch stuff to tell for two hours.

I thought one of the movies was around 2 hrs. 15 min. 🙁 .....longer the better

It won't be three hours long.

Agreed......hey it's Tomacco....I don't think I've seen you in awhile...maybe it'll help if I open my eyes 😉

I dip in and out. I late at night.

oh....I usually only have a few min a day to post b/c of softball and homework. I try to avoid it late at night b/c then I won't go to bed.

I really worded that last post well, huh? 🙄

When I come here late, usually no one is here, so I'll just reply to something then leave. Sometimes Tex or Lance or someone is on real late, then I start replying too much and I never sleep.

well, RotJ was the longest:
2 hours 15
then you had TPM:
2 hours 13

What about the other 2?????????????

2hours 5 and 2hours 7, why?

just curious......which one is which...just for curiosity's sake....completeness too 🙂

that would mean that I have to go check it!

I think the 7 was ESB

That's ok...I'm not THAT curious

just as long as AOTC is near the others in time...I'll be happy

it's more then 2 hours, yes
