Alamo Drafthouse is hosting a Star Wars marathon of all nine movies to screen back-to-back May 3-4, coinciding with the 25th anniversary of Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace.

The Texas-based theater chain will host the 21-hour marathon of the Skywalker Saga’s episodes one through nine at the Alamo Drafthouse New Mission in San Francisco. The all-in-one-sitting viewing will start May 3 with The Phantom Menace and end a day later with a screening of The Rise of Skywalker.

There will be breaks for “unlimited coffee and water” to keep your eyes open in case the Force isn’t enough. Audiences can expect Star Wars-themed food items from a galaxy far, far away at the concession stands, an immersive Star Wars lobby for selfies, and games and trivia between screenings.

There’s also some nifty marathon merchandise, including pint glasses and T-shirts, to go along with your Star Wars lightsabers and helmets. Attendees can also expect a May 3 visit from the 501st Legion, a group of costumed fans known for their local charity and volunteer work.

“Some of us grew up with the original trilogy, some of us with the prequels, and some with the sequels,” Alamo Drafthouse CEO Michael Kustermann. “This event brings all fans together for one epic celebration, and that really is a testament to the power of cinema and the theatrical experience, as well as the incredible impact Star Wars has had on pop culture.”
