10 Things Surprisingly Shorter Than WWE WrestleMania 33

10. The Running Time Of The Original Star Wars Trilogy

So if current wrestling isn’t your thing, and maybe you’d rather watch Luke Skywalker fight Darth Vader for the fate of universe, rather than watch Brock Lesnar Vs. Goldberg for the Universal title, then good news: you can finally get around to watching the trilogy that everyone is shocked you haven’t seen in the time takes to watch ‘The Granddaddy of Them All’.

With each instalment of the space saga coming in at just over two hours, the combined run time of Star Wars Episodes IV, V and VI equals six hours and 17 minutes, coming in under WrestleMania’s VII hour long run time. One of the most lucrative and iconic film trilogies ever can be consumed in the space of time it takes to watch 13 wrestling matches.

Furthermore, without adverts, each Star Wars episode is the length of an episode of Monday Night Raw. The WWE is often criticized for its creative decisions - and whether you agree or disagree with this criticism, think about the story that’s told across the Star Wars trilogy, then think about the story covered over three episodes of Monday Night Raw.

Other trilogies that can also be watched in this time include Back to the Future, Blade, Austin Powers and Toy Story.
