Spoiler Spies

Now that I've finished the book for AOTC, I must say that even without seeing the movie, the vast majority of all the spoilers that got out over the past 3 years were extremely accurate. VERY EXTREMELY ACCURATE!

That said, I will definately be going spoiler-free for Episode 3. I should not have to read a book that fast and know that much of the story before I see a trace of it. I only read books fast when I already know what's going to happen. I'm not sorry that I read spoilers this go-round because it's good to have that experience. But I am sorry that if the spoilers were that accurrate, then it must be causing Lucas headaches and must at least be very saddening for those in his employ who worked so hard to keep the spies out.

One thing's for sure- George Lucas needs to have tighter security this next go 'round. My best suggestion for him is to run a disinformation campaign and to recruit people who are well-versed in online Star Wars spoiling.

Now that I've been both spoiled and spoiler-free, I believe that being spoiler-free is the best...for everyone, including the fans and especially for Lucasfilm. I feel very sad for Lucas and his crew. The spies were too accurate, and judging from the kinds of info they were able to uncover, they are FAR too aggressive. There's a reason they call it "spoiled" after all. It's rather selfish of the fans really. It's a distraction to the filmmakers and it's extremely greedy to want to know what's going to happen before it happens.

There's another very important word here: Patience. "And sacrifice being on edge for three years?" "If you honor what they're doing for you, yes."

Spoilers are bad things. VERY bad things. I'm sorry Mr. Lucas. I really am.
