Yes but can you watch all six Star Wars in a day?

   I wonder what order they’re going to play them in.

   I guess they’d have to show the original trilogy first, but that might spoil the whole effect. Or not.

   You know what else just occurred to me? Return of the Jedi actually sucks, and not just because of the Ewoks. Not as bad as the prequels, mind you, but clearly one of those “what was I thinking” moments. The memomries of my youth are betraying me.

   I suppose they’ll play them in the order of release, i.e 4-6, then 1-3 so they premiere Revenge of the Sith last. That’s how I would do it, anyway.

   And Return of the Jedi did not suck.

   I once watched 12-hours of the series 24 in a row, also watched 8 episodes of the Sopranos in one hit and watched the Die Hard Trilogy back to back. I nearly made it through all 3 Godfather films in one go, but I fell asleep with about 30-mins left of the third installment. I think they are my records when it comes to back to back viewing of series / trilogys. Would never in a million years make it through all the Star War films in one go. I think I would struggle with two. Firstly, not a huge fan, secondily I do get fidgity in a cinema and after about 2.5 hours, I start felling uncomfortable and irritated. I would have a better chance if I was at home maybe, but then it would be damn tough!!!.

   Made the LOTR trilogy (including the EE’s of the first two) in one day with only 5 minute breaks between the films.  Made sausages and bacon and focaccia for lembas bread.  It was a good time even though it lasted roughly 12 hours.

   We also did the Lord of the Rings (All Extended version) back-to-back...10-15 minute break between each DVD (that’s 5 breaks)...5 participants watching it on an 8 Foot home theatre.  Only one of the five had seen all the Extended versions.  Worked out very well, partly because the continuity of LotR is so good. 

   I couldn’t make it through even the original trilogy in on setting...two many things outside the films have spoiled the joy.  I Still very much like Empire Strikes back, but the rest of them (including both prequels) leave me mainly cold and apathetic.

   I’d be all over this in a seond.  I did the LOTR EE showing at the theater and it was SO worth it.  still have the banner too!

   Doing episode 1,2,and 3 in one sitting would probably work better than trying to cram ‘em all in.And you would want it to end with the new one - not sit thru 6+ more hours of movies you’ve seen 100 times.And it would be silly to show 4,5,and 6 first as that kind of defeats the watch it continuously purpose.
