Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is the final entry in the Skywalker Saga that began in 1977. It's expected to close the book on some storylines from throughout the franchise, and it's now seemingly confirmed that the film has a super-sized length.
AMC Theatres has revealed that the film has a runtime of 155 minutes, which makes it the longest movie in the entire space opera series. The 1977 original, A New Hope, was the shortest of the main series at 121 minutes, while The Last Jedi was previously the longest at 152 minutes. 2008's animated movie The Clone Wars was only 98 minutes.
