When it comes to Star Wars: The Force Awakens, there are two camps of fandom. There are those who are such junkies for anything Star Wars that they happily hunt down spoilers. And then there are those of us who are equally happy J.J. Abrams and his cast and crew are keeping a tight seal on things before the movie's release.
So if you're here to find out what happens in The Force Awakens, sorry, we can't help you out. In fact, this entire post is a round up of things we know for sure won't be in the movie.
Unless you consider the absence of something a spoiler. If that's the case, move along. This isn't the Star Wars info you're looking for.
No Postcredits Scene
Marvel has made the postcredits scene an expected part of shared-universe blockbuster culture these days. Don't expect one on The Force Awakens, though. Abrams has confirmed that there is no scene lurking at the end of the movie. So if you were planning on hanging around out of the hope of a tease of, say, Rogue One or possibly even Episode VIII, don't bother. It's not going to happen.
No Jar Jar
Sorry Jar Jar Binks fans, Kathleen Kennedy was pretty clear when she said the cartoony alien is "definitely not in the movie." What's missing from People's coverage of her comments, however, is whether or not she said that and then walked around the room giving everyone high fives.
No Ewoks
Those furry little guys from the end of Return of the Jedi are far more likable than Jar Jar Binks, but Ewoks will also be a no-show. Sorry Wicket superfans, neither he nor any of the other citizens of Endor will be in The Force Awakens. However, the actor who originally played Wicket, Warwick Davis, is returning for The Force Awakens, but as another character.
No Princess Leia
Yes, you've seen Carrie Fisher on the poster and in the trailer and all over the TV clips, but guess what? Princess Leia is not in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The reason? It's been 30 years and she's gotten a bit of promotion. She's no longer a princess in need of saving, she's a military general.
