Star Wars: The Last Jedi has had its runtime confirmed as 150 minutes, or two-and-a-half hours.
That makes it the longest Star Wars movie ever.
Director Rian Johnson announced the length at a recent media event after it'd been rumoured for some time.
Previously, the longest Star Wars film was 2002's Attack of the Clones, which ran for 142 minutes, while the shortest was the original with 121 minutes.
Johnson's debut in the franchise is nearly half an hour longer than the two most recent films, The Force Awakens and Rogue One.
