Star Wars 7-movie marathon coming to Franklin

If, somehow you were previously unaware that a new "Star Wars" film was on the way, you definitely know by now.

The final trailer for "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" premiered during "Monday Night Football," and advance tickets have already gone on sale for the film, which hits theaters Dec. 17.

While a few of the earliest screenings at Nashville's Regal Hollywood 27 have sold out, seats are still up for grabs throughout the Nashville area on fandango.com

But what if you feel like whetting your appetite for the seventh "Star Wars" film by watching the previous six all in a row? One Middle Tennessee theater has you covered.

The unbelievable "Star Wars Marathon" will take place at Carmike Thoroughbred 20 in Franklin. It starts at 3 a.m. Dec. 17 with "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace" and will work its way through the entire saga, culminating with the premiere of "The Force Awakens" that evening. Without factoring in the breaks, that's a nearly 16 hour-long space opera.

Tickets for the marathon are $30 and on sale at www.fandango.com
