With all nine movies in the Skywalker Saga now on Disney+ and Solo: A Star Wars Story still streaming on Netflix, some of you might be planning your own Star Wars movie marathon while we’re all stuck at home. How would you like to get paid to do something you were planning to do already? No. that’s not a trick question, because the college-ranking website Education Reference Desk is looking to do just that.

Travel + Leisure reports ERD want to pay five people $1,000 to binge-watch all 11 Star Wars movies along with the new live-action series, The Mandalorian in chronological order and live-tweet or live-stream while you do while tagging @edurefdesk or using the hashtag #edurefdesk. "The right candidate will be chosen by the Jedi Council," the site explains. Here’s what you have to watch and the order you’re required to watch them in:

  • "Episode I: The Phantom Menace"

  • "Episode II: Attack of the Clones"

  • "Episode III: Revenge of the Sith"

  • "Solo: A Star Wars Story"

  • "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story"

  • "Episode IV: A New Hope"

  • "Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back"

  • "Episode VI: The Return of the Jedi"

  • The Mandalorian (all episodes)

  • "Episode VII: The Force Awakens"

  • "Episode VIII: The Last Jedi"

  • "Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker"

It would take close to 30 hours to watch all of these non-stop (which breaks down to about $30/hour for your binge-watching time). But according to the rules of the contest you have four days to complete the task. In addition to $1,000, the five winning fans will receive a “Star Wars Smuggler’s Kit” which includes:

Head over to the Education Reference Desk site here for the full list of rules and to apply. You have until May 3 (one day before Star Wars Day) to enter. And May the Force Be With You.
