It’s partly a logistical thing: There are now eight existing movies, which means an unabridged marathon would take about two-thirds of a day. We’re excited, of course, not least because The Last Jedi evidently delivers. But this time, there won’t be a pre-movie marathon I’m meeting my friends at the theater. This Thursday, I’m seeing The Last Jedi with most of the same people. (We’re nerds, not sadists.) We were careful to build in a buffer for food, bathroom breaks, and transportation to the theater in time for the post-midnight screening of Episode VII that we’d bought tickets for the second they went on sale. My high school friends - who, like me, had still been high school students the last time we’d seen a new Star Wars movie - met at my house at 11 a.m., and together we watched about 10 hours of Star Wars: every previous movie except for The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones, which we swapped out in favor of the hour-long Clone Wars cartoon. The day before The Force Awakens premiered in December 2015, I hosted a Star Wars movie marathon.
