Even counting episode 9 into to 27 hour marathon time, those 9 movies don’t come anywhere close to 27 hours. That’s 3 hours per movie. Only a few of the Star Wars movies even break 2.5 hours. Most are around 2 hours and 15 minutes.
If you include the 9 movies from the trilogies plus the 2 stand-alones, you get about 25 hours. I’m wondering if it also includes the Clone Wars movie since it’s still 2 hours short. Or maybe they just have big enough breaks between all the showings.
I’ve never been to a marathon longer than 3 movies, so I don’t know how they handle breaks for these longer ones. For Back to the Future there was about a 20 minute break between films. To get to 27 hours with only the Skywalker saga you’d need hour long breaks between movies.
I guess that’s what they are doing, but an hour seems like a long time to wait for someone already trying to watch 9 movies back to back.
I’d also greatly prefer they start with the original trilogy and let me sleep through the prequels. Starting 27 hours out, that means 3pm-midnight would be the first set of movies and midnight through 9am would be the 2nd set. Putting the best (according to most people who’d probably do something crazy like this) in the middle of the night would suck, and putting the prequels then sounds perfect.

I hope they play the Fox logo beforehand now.
