If you’ve been following the updates and news for the new Star Wars film, you might already know that a runtime has been released. During Disney’s D23 Expo, director J.J. Abrams revealed the runtime forStar Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. 435m5i
Of course, the movie is still being edited so this runtime could change before the movie is actually set to release in the theater, December 2015. By movie standards, that’s a little long but certainly not unbearably or unusually long.
Here’s how the runtime of The Force Awakens compares to the other films:
- Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace Runtime: 136 min
- Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones Runtime: 142 min
- Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith Runtime: 140 min
- Star Wars IV: A New Hope Runtime: 121 min
- Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back Runtime: 124 min
- Star Wars VI: Return of the Jedi” Runtime: 134 min
So there we have it; the Star Wars film to be.
