Another 'Star Wars: the Force Awakens' TV Spot as Full Runtime is Revealed
Another day, and another Star Wars: The Force Awakens TV spot. So much for all that supposed secrecy, eh? To be fair, they seem to be using footage from the same scenes, mostly focusing on Finn (John Boyega) and Rey (Daisy Ridley) as they race around her home planet. This one features a little bit more action, and gives us a look at Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) in action, as well. But overall there isn't anything new or mind-blowing here.
However, if you're looking for something new, the film's runtime has been revealed. A while back reports had surfaced it would go for a length of 136 minutes. Slashfilm put in the legwork on this one and discovered that it's just a minute less at 135 minutes. That's not too bad, and makes it the third longest in the franchise. But keep in mind this could include the rumored post-credits scene teasing A Star Wars Story: Rogue One.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens December 18th, and let's be real; no matter the runtime you're going to stay through every damn second.
