“I’m begging you! For your own good-DO NOT READ this spoiler-laden comic book before FridayDecember15th 2017 You’ll thank me later,” Hamill posted on Twitter. Before you rush to the Marvel Unlimited app hoping to find crucial plot details for The Last Jedi, Hamill posted a follow-up message indicating it would be foolhardy to expect director Rian Johnson to rely on an almost 30-year old comic for inspiration.
Hilarious! If anyone thinks Rian used plot-points from an 80’s #SW comic book doesn’t know @rianjohnson! #WaitForVIII

Unfortunately, it looks like audiences will have to wait a few months longer to learn what becomes of our heroes from the Star Wars prequels and newer heroes of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
