‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ runtime revealed

During today”s D23 Expo in Anaheim, CA J.J. Abrams seems to have revealed the rough runtime for the upcoming “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”

It”s unclear if the director meant to make the announcement, of if he let it slip while caught up in the excitement of the day. In either case, it sounds as though the initial cut of the film is coming in at about 124 minutes, so a little over two hours. 

That”s actually fairly restrained by modern standards. 

What do you think – is that too much “Star Wars” for one sitting or not nearly enough?

Meanwhile, take a look at what some the recent reveals may mean for the film in the video below:
