How long does it take to watch every Star Wars film?

How long to watch every Star Wars film
about 27 hours 7 minutes
12 live-action theatrical films

All twelve live-action theatrical Star Wars films run about 27 hours: the nine Skywalker saga episodes plus Rogue One, Solo, and The Mandalorian and Grogu, which reached cinemas in May 2026. Adding the 2008 animated Clone Wars film brings it to thirteen films and 28 hours 45 minutes, though most lists exclude it. The television material now substantially exceeds the films in total runtime, which was not true before 2019. Rogue One ends minutes before A New Hope begins, making it the only Star Wars film that can be watched as a direct prologue to another.
