While we were all unsure exactly how long Star Wars: The Force Awakens would run, the truth is that it is about a minute longer than previously rumored. This puts it roughly in the middle of the previous Star Wars films, with the 1977 original spanning 121 minutes before its Special Edition re-release and the 1980’s The Empire Strikes Back clocking in at 125 minutes in “Special Edition” format.

After the events of The Phantom Menace, fans of the Star Wars franchise are ready for the next chapter in the Star Wars universe: The Force Awakens. In this prequel to Episode VII, the Resistance has left Hosnian Prime to defend the city of Takodana. However, the First Order is looking for BB-8, a droid. Meanwhile, Rey and Han are arriving at Takodana to rescue BB-8. However, they are captured by Kylo Ren, who tries to mind read her, which leads her to escape. Kylo orders Snoke to bring Rey back to the Jedi Order, but Rey manages to escape after performing a Jedi mind trick on a Stormtrooper guard.
The game can take up to twenty to forty hours to beat. However, it does not feel too bad considering that it contains the best Lego game yet, featuring over forty levels and a massive number of collectibles. Many fans are wondering how long it will take to complete the game. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to beat this new game in a reasonable amount of time. The time estimates below are based on the median completion times of 834 TrueAchievements members.
75-90 hours
There are approximately 75-90 hours of gameplay to be completed in Star Wars: The Force Awakening. The time required varies, depending on your level of exploration, collection, and completionist run. To reach maximum levels, you should be prepared to spend a significant amount of time exploring the game’s hub areas. While you can explore these areas for long stretches of time, you may wish to skip these in favor of the main missions.
The movie follows the story of a new chapter in the story of the Jedi Order. The Galactic Empire has fallen and the First Order seeks to overthrow the New Republic. A new faction called the Resistance has risen under the leadership of General Leia Organa and is searching for the missing Luke Skywalker. The film is filled with hilarious moments, such as a reference to Maz Kanada’s castle and an old watering hole on Tatooine. The film’s heavy events are handled with humor throughout.
90 hours
Star Wars: The Force Awakens will be in theaters in a few weeks. But before then, you can check out the condensed version of the trilogy by Andy Schneider and Jonathan Britnell. If you’re like me, watching the entire trilogy would take hours. This video, which runs 90 seconds from start to finish, quickly gets you through all of the main plot points. The movie isn’t just a collection of characters; it also deals with the larger themes of light and dark.
There are pros and cons to both ways of viewing the series. The chronological order of movies ruins the iconic Luke parentage reveal, and it makes saga inconsistencies more obvious. However, if you’re a fan of the prequels, you’ll have to go through The Force before you can watch the Mandalorian series and the prequels. The chronological order is best, but it’s not essential.
Time to complete all 49 achievements
Do you want to beat all the levels and earn all the trophies? Well, Star Wars The Force Awakening has many achievements and trophies for you to earn. For example, if you beat a certain character in the game who is preparing an attack, you can earn the Quick on the Draw achievement. You can also defeat certain Stormtroopers in the game.
For the ‘True Jedi’ achievement, you need to have a certain number of studs. To obtain these, you can collect Red Bricks and use stud multiplers. Next, you must unlock Kylo Ren and play Chapter 8 – Starkiller Sabotage. Once you have completed this chapter, you’ll unlock the trophy. Once you’ve completed this chapter, load up the game in your main character’s mode and destroy seven computer terminals in the ‘Starkiller sabotage’ section. Once you’ve destroyed the final terminal, the game will open the next level.
Lack of story
There’s no clear answer as to why there’s such a lack of story in Star Wars The Force Awakes. Perhaps the producers of the film convinced themselves that they didn’t need a narrative architect, and that the IP and branding mattered more than carefully plotted storylines. But this explanation is not entirely correct. The movie’s lack of story is a problem in many ways.
The previous Star Wars movies had a theme. The first trilogy was about saving or recreating the Republic, and the last movie ended with a galaxy-wide celebration. The movies had implied that a freer society was possible, but the lack of plot in The Force Awakens snuffed out that hope midway through and made the film move on rather quickly. Ultimately, it is the character development and worldbuilding that make Star Wars such a good movie.
