Rogue One Left Off Of Star Wars Marathon Event

Rogue One : A Star Wars Story , last year ’s megahit spinoff photographic film , has been left off aStar Warsmovie endurance contest effect taking place in December to commemorate the comer ofThe Last Jedi . prediction for writer / director Rian Johnson ’s sequel is about to pass on a pyrexia pitch , asEpisode VIIItickets will go on sales event today(October 9 ) after the late trailer entry on ESPN’sMonday Night Football . Lucasfilm has done their part to get sports fan properly hyped for the consequence , unveiling two separate vamp of Rey grooming andLuke Skywalker concord his old lightsaber once again .

AsThe Last Jedidraws nearer , many viewers will be interested in rewatching the premature films to freshen their memories before come across the next chapter in the saga . Some people will do this from the quilt of their own living rooms , but others are move to take part in special marathons planned by select theater chain of mountains . Cineplex has put together such an case , but they ’ve inquisitively choose to exclude one inbuilt part of the film series .

On a listing on Cineplex ’s site detail promotions forThe Last Jedi , aStar WarsMarathon Event is mentioned , with the tease of showing"all eight movies"in one day . The poster , however , makes no mention ofRogue One , which was the eighth live - actionStar Warsmovie eject in theaters . concede , the verbal description of the marathon specifically posit this is for the saga moving-picture show , but it is still a footling odd the first anthology is not part of this solemnization of the galaxy far , far away .

It ’s not as if raising the number of films shown to nine would make the battle of Marathon too long for Cineplex ’s touchstone . Back in 2015 , whenAvengers : Age of Ultronwas about to come in out , the Sir Ernst Boris Chain put together a monumental Marvel Cinematic Universe marathon that played the 11 installments in the franchise - beginning with 2008’sIron Man- that ran for over 27 hr . All of theStar Warsfilms to date ( includingRogue One ) would take 17 hours , 40 minutes to binge all the way through from starting signal to coating . Even ifThe Last Jediclocks in at 2.5 hours , a completeStar Warsmarathon would n’t number anywhere close to Marvel . apparently , Cineplex was focalize on the saga films ( which stimulate common sense ) , but they easily could have fitRogue Onein as well and few would have kick . Many would jump at the chance to see the Battle of Scarif on a big screen door again .

While viewers can experience the complete chronicle of the Skywalker sept without watchingRogue One , the spinoff is arguably as worthful to the film serial as any of the other entries . Its events directly pass intoA New Hope , set up the stage for the original trilogy in a poignant and satisfying room . The Last Jedicould also include mention to the first anthology , as the Resistance havea flagship discover after the heroical Admiral Raddus . Even with the success ofRogue One , the spinoffs still have a stigma of being " Star Warsfiller " in some circles , and this would have been a nice mode of cementing their lawful place in the franchise . Perhaps whenHan Solois set to premier next summer , Rogue Onecan be part of a endurance contest .
