Don Williams is a conductor, composer and percussionist who has worked with his brother Jon on a regular basis over the years, hence why he was part of a Jurassic Park panel for the Academy of Scoring Arts this past weekend. After being asked about Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Williams dropped some very interesting details about the movie...including its runtime! 

"Jon's started up with another Star Wars," he explains in the video below. "We started our last week. He's got a 135 minutes worth of music to write. Okay, so that kind of tells you how long the film is [laughs]. It is top to bottom music. We've done four days. We just scratched the surface. I think we've got something like 34 minutes in the can at this point."

With that in mind, there's a very good chance that Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker will be between two and a half and three hours long. Don then went on to drop some hints about what to expect.
 
"I can tell you that every theme that you ever heard is going to be compiled into this last effort. Every one. Leia. Yoda. The Phantom. Darth. All of it. It's going to be in there. And in his usual style, he hides them. You gotta go look for them. You'll find them, but you gotta go look for them."
"You'll be sitting there watching the film go by. 'Oop, there is it. There's two bars of it.' And it grabs you. It takes you away," he concluded, possibly hinting that we'll see those characters in the film...

The 2016 AFI tribute to John Williams was incredible. Never mind hearing all of his incredible music, but watching how he goes through the process was spectacular to see.

The Last Jedi was overlong imo.

A nearly 3 hour Star Wars movie to finish off the Skywalker Saga would be amazing.

It's good to hear that the music in this film will be the culmination of the saga as well. I hoping for a lot of prequel music. I think the music in the prequels is actually better than in the OT.

As a lifelong (well, up until December 2017) fan of Star Wars, most of me doesn't want this film to be released -- Disney has done enough to defecate on the OT legacy -- while a little bit of me wants to see if this upcoming film can clean the mess up.

@GeneralZod - I really think they're going to Avengers: Endgame it and time-travel their way through the OT and other past movies, so brace yourself.
