I've added another couple of references that go towards verifying the original direction of the article. One interesting idea that I'd not thought of doing before is to watch

However this article needs expansion. I think we can all agree star wars marathons happen relatively frequently, movie theaters have specials for just such occasions, etc. However, more sources stating this and in general a better overview of the "phenomenom" would be required.
