Why was the title changed? Star Wars Marathon (2017) Discussion


Just noticed this, what the freak?

lol

Isn't the last movie coming out this year? I remember Last Jedi coming out around Christmas last time so I assume the next one is right around the corner. And people are rewatching all the movies up til this one before going to the theater. Not sure why they'd rename this one instead of just creating a new board for marathon discussing, not that it is even necessary, you can easily discuss marathoning on any of the individual Star Wars movie boards

With new Disney Star Wars projects in the works, it could be a gradual distancing on the company's part to do away with the series' chronological numeric sequence in order to meet better with further installments. Disney may not want to feel boxed in by the narrative saga. Good news: less likely to have continuity issues. Bad news: less likely to have a coherent story with respect to established franchise.

Probally get renamed to Snickers at a later date.

My local cinema is running Force Awakens and Last Jedi as a marathon in December, so maybe all or a lot of cinemas are, and IMDB was changed by a metadata thing?
