In a galaxy not so far far away, one lucky Star Wars fan could end up with $1,000 to watch every Star Wars movie back-to-back in the lead up to the release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker on December 20.

CableTV.com says that it’s looking for “an entertaining Star Wars junkie with a Chewbacca-sized personality” to live-tweet their 22-hour and 25-minute force filled marathon.

From The Phantom Menace to The Last Jedi and everything in-between, CableTV doesn’t care in what order you watch them so long as your commentary isn’t “half-witted and scruffy-looking.”

Whoever is chosen won’t just get the $1,000 and every one of the films on Blu-ray; CableTV says that the winner will also get an R2-D2 popcorn popper, a Chewbacca onesie, and a Han Solo Nerf blaster.
