Star Wars may be one of the most action-packed space operas in cinematic history, but the original trilogy is shorter than you remember. Even if you sit down and binge the first three movies one after the other, it wouldn’t be any longer than doing the same with Andor Season 1. However, with the unending march of time, Star Wars movies have become longer, with The Last Jedi clocking in at 2 hours 32 minutes, about as long as the first Avengers movie.
Now, we have a new data point to add to this list: upcoming spinoff movie The Mandalorian and Grogu, based on the Disney+ series The Mandalorian, will be as long as many of its fellow Star Wars standalone films. Despite the ongoing controversy, this is more proof that this movie was always meant for the big screen, even if it means we don’t get The Mandalorian Season 4.
