New STAR WARS Movie Marathon Will Conclude With THE FORCE AWAKENS
We've seen the new poster for Star Wars: The Force Awakens (what's that Death Star-looking thing?), and we've seen a few teasers for the new trailer that's dropping tonight during Monday Night Football. But when can we see the entire movie for ourselves? You'll be able to buy tickets as soon as the trailer debuts tonight for opening night, which is December 17th, and if you're truly yearning for a diehard Star Wars experience, you'll be able to buy tickets to a Star Wars movie marathon that features every live action feature film in the saga thus far, starting with The Phantom Menace and concluding with a 3D screening of The Force Awakens.
Why anyone would want to subject themselves to the prequels theatrically at this point, I have no idea. Maybe just to show how they can only get better from there?
The Star Wars Marathon Event is the ultimate fan experience. All seven movies. One epic journey. Guests will see each of the six previously released Star Wars episodes in digital 2D beginning with The Phantom Menace and concluding with the opening of Star Wars: The Force Awakens in 3D! Guests will also receive a lanyard featuring exclusive marathon art. Coming December 17.
Head to StarWars.com to find out which theaters are hosting the marathons in your area. Meanwhile, Disney and Lucasfilm are going to do everything they can to try to convince you to go back and see the movie multiple times in theaters, offering posters, collectible art, and more.
