Star Wars: The Force Awakens Hardcover Coming January 5
With the movie and ebook version of Star Wars: The Force Awakens coming on December 18th, the hardcover edition will be launching later on January 5th. Since the ebook version of the book launches on the same day of the film's release, keeping spoilers at bay doesn't seem to be a factor for this timing. Will you wait for the hardcover, pick up the ebook, or just go pure film for the latest Star Wars?

Our Take
I'm not planning to check out Star Wars: The Force Awakens in print at all, though I have loved many of the Star Wars books over the years. In this case, I think I'll stick with the movie. With the ebook launching the same day as the movie's release, it will likely make social media even more of a spoiler minefield, so keep that in mind as we edge ever closer to the next chapter of the Star Wars saga.
