Star Wars: The Last Jedi is shaping up to be the biggest instalment of the franchise to date as Luke Skywalker finally returns to the big screen after his brief cameo in The Force Awakens. Rian Johnson is at the helm of the already completed sequel and we're less than three months away from it finally reaching theaters. Now, if a new report is to be believed, the movie will be a pretty damn long one! 

A listing on UK cinema chain Cineworld reveals that The Last Jedi is going to be 150 minutes long. While this hasn't been confirmed by Lucasfilm, it makes sense that this information would be out there as the film is in the can and ready to go. This news makes the movie the longest in the franchise to date too. 

Attack of the Clones previously held that crown with a runtime of 142 minutes, while The Force Awakens was 135 minutes and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was 133 minutes. The Last Jedi needs to
be long with all the story it's expected to pack in, especially as Johnson's movie will set the stage for J.J. Abrams' highly anticipated return when he takes the helm of Episode IX. What do you guys think?

Won't see this in theaters. Not worth the crowds at the very least.

While I'm a big Star Wars fan.......I'm still not feeling this movie. Something in my gut tells me it's not going to be worth it.
I think it's because the first movie felt very rushed. Normally I would watch a Star Wars movie over and over again.....I only saw The Force Awakens twice. Hell, I have watched Rogue One more.

The Force Awakens started off well developing Rey and setting up the universe, but it also killed Max Von Sydow's character and there was no weight to that death. We didn't know, or care about his character.

Then, in typical Abrams fashion, it was a bouncy ride from setting to settling to setting and a ton of action with very little substantive character building scenes. It seemed like they did it just to get it done ...like someone is trying to tell you a long story quickly and skipping over some important details so you don't lose interest.

The Force Awakens exemplifies the short attention span of people today....make it quick...hit the key points.....and get it over with.

I hope The Last Jedi will be better, but I'm really not feeling it.
