We have a runtime, which means you now know how long you’ll be spending in the company of Din Djarin and Grogu when The Mandalorian and Grogu arrives around the world in late May, because – of course – you’ll all stay right to the very end of the credits, to appreciate and applaud the many talents who worked on the film, and enjoy some stellar Ludwig Göransson music. That time is two hours and twelve minutes, which is plenty of time to fill your movie themed popcorn receptacle with your choice of popcorn, chug a refreshing beverage, and get your world rocked by some (if the teasers are anything to go by) top-notch galactic action.
Hitting cinemas on 22 May, the film has a runtime of 132 minutes, making it the shortest Star Wars movie to be released in the past 43 years — just one minute longer than 1983’s Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, which clocked in at 131 minutes.
For the sake of classification, in a runtime-based ranking of the Star Wars films, The Mandalorian and Grogu’s runtime of two hours and 12 minutes slots it in right before Return of the Jedi and after Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, closing in at 133 minutes.
