Intrepid Los Angeles Times reporter Randy Lewis is watching every single “Star Wars” movie leading into the “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” And you can follow along as he slowly goes mad.

Stationed at a California AMC, Lewis will be braving many hours of Hayden Christensen’s tiny padawan braid in order to bring you the FULL “Star Wars” binge-watching experience.

And you can follow along with the hashtag #randyawakens or on his personal Twitter account at @RandyLewis2.

Here’s the full screening schedule, starting Thursday:

1 a.m.: “The Phantom Menace”
3:30 a.m.: “Attack of the Clones”
6:15 a.m.: “Revenge of the Sith”
