"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" is in theaters Friday and Disney has done a good job keeping big spoilers under wraps.
The seventh installment in the franchise had its world premiere in Los Angeles Monday night, but don't expect to hear many reveals until the film makes its way into theaters — at least not from press.
Disney and Lucasfilm gave press a set of rules to follow for screenings.
Phones will be collected. Electronics are to be left at home. No one should be checking in on social media to tell people the location of the screening.
Reviews are to be held until 12:01 a.m. PST Wednesday.
Press embargoes aren't the only precaution Disney is taking to prevent "Star Wars" spoilers.
Here are a few other ways the Mouse House is ensuring fans head into "The Force Awakens" with some surprises intact:
1. The movie tie-in book was delayed until January
Disney asked that the book tie-in for the new movie be delayed until after the film comes out, the Wall Street Journal reports.
The book, from Penguin Random House's publisher Del Rey, won't be out on store shelves until January 5, 2016, more than two weeks after the film's release in the U.S. The book was expected to be released during the holiday season. The WSJ notes that publishers typically release movie tie-ins two months before a film's release.
The e-book version of the novelization will be available December 18.
2. "The Force Awakens" soundtrack will be released the same day as the movie.
Track titles can sometimes give hints about the direction or plot of a film. You won't be able to hear legendary composer John Williams' new score until the movie is released in theaters.
3. No one has said anything about this movie.
Everyone from director J.J. Abrams to Harrison Ford and newcomer actors John Boyega and Daisy Ridley have been extremely tight-lipped.
Mark Hamill hasn't revealed why his character has been hidden from marketing.
When director J.J. Abrams, Ridley, Boyega, and Adam Driver were on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on November 23, the most we learned was that the first word in the film is "this." Some of the cast also discussed how they landed their roles in the film.
4. Scripts were printed on red paper.
In order to prevent the script from leaking, "The Force Awakens" was printed on dark red paper. If anyone tried to photocopy anything, the printed copies will be illegible.
5. Some of the toys still haven't been released.
While many "Star Wars" toys have already been released for the movie, a Hasbro representative previously told Tech Insider there are, unsurprisingly, other toys set for release after the film as well.
