Star Wars Marathon Calculator
Plan your Star Wars marathon down to the hour. Pick a film selection — original trilogy, all 9 episodes, or all 11 theatrical films — set your break time between films and daily viewing hours, and get the total watch time plus how many days the marathon takes.

How does this calculator work?
All 9 episodic Star Wars films total about 1226 minutes (≈ 20.4 hours) of content. Add 15-minute breaks between each and you hit roughly 22 hours. At 6 hours per day that is a 4-day marathon. Use the calculator to plan any selection of films at your preferred pace.
Formula
How this is calculated
The calculator sums the theatrical runtimes of every film in the chosen selection (using the original cinema runtimes, not extended cuts) and adds break time between consecutive films. Divide the combined total by your planned daily viewing hours and round up to find how many calendar days the marathon spans.
The nine episodic films run roughly 20.4 hours of content alone — slightly over 22 hours with 15-minute breaks between each. Watching 6 hours per day puts the full Skywalker Saga at about 4 days. Add Rogue One and Solo and the total climbs past 24.5 hours of film.
Runtimes used are the official theatrical releases (IMDb-verified figures). Disney+ versions may differ by a few minutes for select titles. The chronological viewing order follows the in-universe timeline: Episodes I–III, then IV–VI, then Rogue One (set just before Episode IV), then VII–IX, with Solo inserted between III and IV.
Frequently asked questions
Release order (IV, V, VI, I, II, III, VII, VIII, IX) preserves the original dramatic reveals and is widely recommended for first-time viewers. Chronological order (I–IX plus Rogue One and Solo in timeline position) is popular for re-watches. The "Machete Order" (IV, V, I, II, III, VI) skips Episode I and uses the prequels as a flashback — a fan favourite for experienced viewers.
Occasionally. Most Star Wars films on Disney+ match the theatrical release, but some titles differ by a minute or two due to end-credit formatting. The calculator uses theatrical runtimes as the canonical reference; your actual streaming time may vary slightly.
No — only the 11 theatrical films are included. Adding a full Disney+ series would dwarf the film runtime (The Mandalorian alone is roughly 8 additional hours per season). For a complete extended-universe experience, plan significant extra days beyond the film marathon.
