Philadelphia police aren’t joking around – no “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” spoilers! Okay, well, they actually are only joking around.
In a light-hearted social media post, the city police department advocated for making Star Wars spoilers illegal in advance of the much anticipated film’s release Thursday evening.
No, posting #StarWarsForceAwakens spoilers is not a crime. Yes, it should be. We enforce the laws – we don’t make them. Sorry.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens is the first film in the franchise to be released in 10 years. Disney worked hard over the past few years to keep a lid on any spoilers related to the film that brings back the cast of the original franchise and also adds a new crew.
