- "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" reviews are embargoed until December 12 at 12 p.m. EST.
- Journalists have been asked to not reveal spoilers and "detailed story points" in any coverage.
- Phones and electronic devices will be collected at the screening to prevent leaks.
We're about a week away from the release of "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" in theaters. Since the movie's recent secret press conference, Disney and Lucasfilm have let press know when the review embargo for the anticipated sequel lifts.
Reviews for "The Last Jedi" will start to go live December at 12 p.m. EST.
If you're hungry for spoilers, don't expect to see a lot.
Like previous years, Disney and Lucasfilm have sent out pretty strict guidelines for those invited to see screenings of the movie. In its confirmation emails, press has been asked to "refrain from revealing spoilers and detailed story points" in coverage and social media.
Disney doesn't mess around.
Journalists are being asked to leave computers and tablets at home for the New York screening I'm attending (I've been asked to not reveal the date, time, or location). Phones and other electronic devices will be collected.
That's atypical of most screenings, but has become standard at "Star Wars" ones.
Most movie screenings will have a security guard or theater worker check your bag before entering the theater and simply ask attendees to turn off their mobile devices. If it's an anticipated movie, a few security guards will wear goggles to make sure no one is using any electronic devices during the film. Sometimes you get waved down with a metal-detecting wand.
My review of the film will be spoiler free until fans have had a chance to see "The Last Jedi" upon its US release December 15.
