    Not sure what it means, but I voted that it was all the stuff they shot. I think they have a tighter cut already. Just adding special effects, and tweaking at this point.

    This "4 hour version" is exciting though. I hope we get a nice tight cut for the official release and an extended version for the super fans like us. Wouldnt that be awesome to look forward to???

    4 hours is edited (part-way at least). That footage wasn't assembled in that order by itself. ;)

    My guess is that 4 hours is the current state of the cut, it's gone down from the dozens and dozens to the point it's at now. This may have alternate takes, extended takes, or entire storylines that might get scrubbed from the final draft. Getting tight pacing and avoiding Hobbit-levels of bloat will be the race to the finish.

    During the D23 Expo, J.J. Abrams himself said that by that time the running time of the movie is around 124 minutes. It will definitely change adding credits and other stuff, but surely it will be around that number +/- 10 min. So yes, this is definitely a typo.

    I allready stated this in this forums, JJ doesn't have a movie yet and Disney refused the delay of debut.

    The Force Awakens is STILL in editing phase and we're a month from the openning, so............i guess most of our theories are hard to be spot on cause many things can still change till the release of this movie.

    I never believe anything in mainstream media. Every story is distorted to suit the editor's whim. Them saying it's a four hour cut is probably just a way to increase web traffic or paper sales to people hoping to garner any further information on the film. Not that I'm being cynical or anything but you watch how this story will spread through other media outlets.

    My guess is that a number of scenes still have A and B reel of some scenes that have yet to be cut down. I doubt its 4 hours of story. Its roughly 2 hours of story that needs to be together in some places.

    Give Legolas a lightsaber, and PJ could stretch any movie to 5 hours.

    Funniest post I've ever read tbh.

    For those that aren't in the know:


    But, on topic, I hope they showed the film to him twice.

    Make it four hours if it's as good as the trailers! Who cares. You can bring an empty bottle.
