Running time not 155, it's 141

Rating: 5/10 (22 December 2019)

//We got gypped! Announced runtime is 155mins and actual runtime is 141mins. I have been Star War fan for life and never felt so betrayed and taken advantage of... Where are the missing 14mins? I blame Rian Johnson for steeling a reel from this beautiful film out of resentment of GoT fans. It must be a terrible movie which they cut their losses? Why is no one complaining about this travesty?!//
I decided to take this a little more srsly than at first, per this edit, tho based on the majority of reviews posted here (I've looked at about 1000) the above reads better.
Announced runtime of 155mins, has been widely reported in all advance press through release date, and in theater listings.
Theater listing the day the show I attended 12/20 claimed 155 with (TBC) in parens, which may stand for to be confirmed, but it's still on theater page, Mcmenamin's Bagdad.
Going into show a number of reviews I saw through aggregator Metacritic made passing references to length as being longish, 2 1/2 hrs, which jived with theater listing. So coming out I was perplexed by time not adding up: Show started at 2:31, quick Bagdad curtain / host intro for 2 mins, about 12 mins of prevues, then leaving theater while credits roll at 4:46. I came out of theater looking at time and thought Did we miss something? Actual runtime was more like 120 mins. Were there 10mins of credits? Probably.
Searching for "rise of skywalker 155 minutes" On 11/26 Forbes says Runtime changed to 141.
Ok. But what version of this movie did advance screeners, aka "press", see?
Did Edelstein, Travers, AOScott, Roeper, et al, review a 155 min version? Probably not.
Speaking of retcon, review sites are just changing the runtime detail without editorial comment. Maybe it's considered a minor factoid, not worth mentioning? Keeping in mind with today's press it's all pay for play, NDAs, etc.
So what version did you see? Would 14 more minutes help or hurt your reviews of this product?
Is this story of mismatched times a bunch of hooey about nothing? Yes! Just like this movie.
Is my 10-star rating for realz? Who knows? It could change at any moment...
