Spoiler season983 Archivesupon us. For the third year in a row, there's a new Star Wars film releasing in December, and by this time Friday the world will be full of volatile Last Jedi spoilers at every turn.

But what if you can't see The Last Jediat midnight because you'll be a mess at work the next day? What if you have holiday events, weekend plans in another state, and can't actually go see it until Monday night (no I am not talking about myself I'm fine!!!)??

In the age of internet, of next-day takes and analysis and memes and reviews, spoiler culture is thriving. It's terrifying for those who wish to experience fiction afresh, without even the slightest idea what we're in for so we get a genuine emotional reaction. Others believe the time for being precious about spoilers is passed; the movie is out, the show aired, the book released – if you haven't experienced it firsthand by now, you shouldn't care.

We certainly see both arguments, so we've come up with a few rudimentary rules for how to treat The Last Jedispoilers. Let's be respectful – but also, let's watch this freaking movie already so we can talk about it.

1. Ask if people have seen it, and if they mind spoilers

This seems pretty basic, but it's almost impressive how many people come into a conversation at full speed hearing "Star Wars" and then cutting right to "Luke, I am your father" (the statue of limitations on that spoiler has long passed). This is especially important with TV shows because some people might be years behind, but the big twists can be a crucial part of the viewing experience. For those in an office today, be kind to the people around you. Just because you and a co-worker are fine discussing doesn't mean those around you who have to listen are as well.
