This is when a Novelization of a work (usually a film) arrives on store shelves before the work's own debut, resulting in Spoilers to those who read it. It can happen in any media, and is increasingly common in big-budget titles. This, obviously, does not apply to cases where the original work is a book series itself (e.g. Harry Potter) and receives a re-release right before its film adaptation hits the box office. (Unless the novelization is specifically based on the adaptation, instead of the original source.)

The Last Jedi goes even farther, not releasing in any form until close to the DVD release of the film. Perhaps owing to the divisive reaction to the film, it's being advertised as being an "expanded edition". | |

Including the first six episodes plus Shadows of the Empire and The Clone Wars, as well as comics and novels of The Force Unleashed and its sequel. Notably, the very first Star Wars had a novelization known as Star Wars: From the Adventures of Luke Skywalker credited to George Lucas (ghostwritten by Alan Dean Foster during production) and released six months before the film's initial theatrical cut, in December 1976, though this can be excused as part of the promotion of a product whose success was not at all assured. | |

The sequel trilogy appears to have broken that trend, with digital copies of The Force Awakens novelization out on the same day as the movie's theatrical release (four days after the Los Angeles premiere) and print copies two weeks afterwards to avoid spoiling the movie. Rogue One is given similar treatment. The Last Jedi goes even farther, not releasing in any form until close to the DVD release of the film. Perhaps owing to the divisive reaction to the film, it's being advertised as being an "expanded edition". |

The prequel trilogy each had Illustrated Screenplays simultaneously released along with multiple novelizations a month or so before the movie's release. Add in the official soundtrack, comic book and video game adaptations, and by the time of the premiere you could not only know the plot, but every single line as well. Revenge of the Sith is even a case of Graphic Novelization First, as the release of Dark Horse Comics' trade paperback predates all the other versions, including the film itself by just over two months. | |
