Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Will be 133 Minutes Long!
One month ago we reported the possible Rogue One running time, which was listed on an Australian movie site (here). In the past few days, fans from Europe shared photos with their tickets supporting that running time. It was still possible that this was a placeholder time, but now Pablo Hidalgo himself pretty much confirmed it.
Twitter member @AloBrickfilm2 from France asked Hidalgo, when we can expect an official reveal of the running time. He asked that question since the movie was listed to be 133 minutes long on the French tickets. Here’s what Pablo replied:
@AloBrickfilm2 Don’t theaters list that when tickets go on sale?

@AloBrickfilm2 That sounds about right.

I think this pretty much confirms the running time of the movie. 133 minutes sounds about right, on par with the other Star Wars movies.
Here’s the running time (according to IMDb) of all the Star Wars movies for comparison:
The Phantom Menace – 136 minutes
Attack of the Clones – 142 minutes
Revenge of the Sith – 140 minutes
A New Hope – 121 minutes (125 SE)
The Empire Strikes Back – 124 minutes (127 SE)
Return of the Jedi – 131 minutes (134 SE)
The Force Awakens – 136 minutes

“What do you think? Is that running time enough to tell a Star Wars Story?”
I appreciate the discussion starter, but no one should have a strong opinion about this, one way or the other. It’s fine.
NO! A STAR WARS STORY MUST BE EXACTLY 123 MINUTES GOD DAMMIT!
I didn’t like that myself. Let’s drop it. 🙂
HOW DARE YOU TRY TO DISCREDIT MY OPINION!!

CHILDHOOD RUUUUUIIIIIIINEEEED!!!!!!!!! 😉
That seems like a very manageable running time, so I like it.
It’s a little strange that the actual running time is exactly the same as the placeholder running time.
Speaking of time…..I can’t believe the countdown timer is down to only 18 days !! I remember looking at 98 days thinking “long time to go still”. We’re almost there !!
Well in about 18 days, the countdown timer will be back to 360-something days.
Same here!
When it comes to an FX filled movie, keep in mind that you should knock off 8 to 12 minutes from the official runtime, because that’s how long the credits run and they are included in the total runtime. Thus, the actual movie part of RO may be just over 120 minutes. The end credits for TFA run for 11 minutes.
Cool
