Formula & Theory - Star Wars Marathon Calculator
The Star Wars Marathon Calculator uses real theatrical runtimes:
Runtimes (minutes):
I 136 II 142 III 140
IV 121 V 124 VI 131
VII 138 VIII 152 IX 142
Total Runtime = sum of selected runtimes
Short Breaks = (films − 1) × Short Break
Meal Breaks = floor((films − 1) / Meal Every) × Meal Break
Total Minutes = Total Runtime + Short Breaks + Meal Breaks
Days Needed = ceil(Total Minutes / (Daily Hours × 60))| Order | First film | Last film |
|---|---|---|
| Skywalker Saga | Episode I | Episode IX |
| Release | Episode IV | Episode IX |
| Chronological | Episode I | Episode IX |
