Star Wars Aftermath: Empire’s End Spoilers Have Already Leaked Online
The drive for Star Wars spoilers has become so great that we even care about spoilers regarding a prequels-only character in a book series.
With new Star Wars material coming on the regular, the drive for more information has only grown. We’ve even turned to analyzing international titles of films to further support or debunk our theories. At this point, the fact that spoilers about the newest Star Wars Aftermath book hit the Internet shouldn’t even surprise us that much. Entertainment Weekly has the details.

Basically, Star Wars Aftermath: Empire’s End has Jar Jar Binks in it for what sounds like the literary equivalent of a cameo. If you want to read more, head over to EW and then come back.
Here, you’ve survived the spoilers. Have possibly the funniest scene in The Force Awakens as a reward:
Spoilers end here.
Author Chuck Wendig took to Twitter to express his opinion on the spoilers now rampant across all corners of the Internet. Here’s a brief sample:
For some, spoilers actually offer a new way to engage with material. When a certain subset of fans finds a new piece of information ahead of time, it can drive them to speculate how and why the story might turn in such a way for those spoilers to become plausible. (Or it can inspire them to write silly fanfiction, as we tend to do around here with Game of Thrones.) That creates even more buzz, which ultimately probably creates more sales.
However, not everyone likes them. As a result, it should be made easy for people to avoid them. That would be why BB-8 is up there to give you a thumbs-up to let you remain untouched by spoilers as much as possible should you wish to.
Spoilers, though, have simply become a part of fandom as a whole. To avoid them or not to avoid them should be left to the fans.
