The Phantom Menace It’s not the only one Star Wars The film will be re-released in theaters this spring. Theaters like AMC and Alamo Drafthouse will screen the top nine films in a 20-hour marathon.

Playing in chronological order, everything Skywalker Saga will effectively run from Friday, May 3 through Star Wars Day on May 4. Tickets are currently on sale, and will last all day: screenings begin at 8 pm on Friday and there will be no intermission. Basically, you’ll have to create your own with the movies (or time periods) that you think are most worthy of snooze. And if you stay until the end, you’ll get a special preview of the June issue. The acolyte, plus a limited edition poster that Lucasfilm hasn’t shown people yet. It’s worth noting that this will be an expensive penny: where I live, the Skywalker Saga marathon costs a little more than $84, and that may cost more depending on where you live.

For those who live in San Francisco, the Alamo Drafthouse’s The New Mission Theater will also host the Skywalker Marathon. Between movies, there will be games and trivia questions for audience members to repeat, and there will be a custom menu and unlimited coffee and water. He 501st Legiona popular community of fans of Star Wars cosplayers, will also appear on May 3 to give it a proper “inspection.” There will also be a Star Wars-themed pop-up experience in the lobby, which will be free to the public from May 4-19.

It’s been quite a while since The Rise of Skywalker that this may be the first big movie marathon for Star Wars be released in theaters within five years, if not never. (Disney previously did this with the MCU movies before Avengers: Infinity War and game over, but it may be more difficult to achieve this with Multiverse Saga). In addition to being the 25th anniversary of Ghost, 2024 will mark the fifth anniversary of Raise, and the tenth anniversary of the first preview for 2015 The force awakens.

If you end up attending the Skywalker Saga marathon, good luck; Events like those sound great, but they’ll probably take a lot out of you after (and probably during, too). For everyone else, let us know any plans you have for celebrating May 4th in the comments below.
