in Rise of Skywalker (and no-one noticed until now)
What sucks is that it seems the writer of this piece has never read a novelization of a movie in their life. Official as opposed to what... fanficiton? The novelization is traditionally[/i] written from an earlier screenplay so there are "expanded scenes and additional content not seen in theaters" because, between the time the manuscript went to be run through publication and the movie coming out scenes are dropped, cut or changed for whatever reason.
X2: X-Men United from 2003 (and, dear ghod, has it actually been 17 years?!?). Was really excited to see that and had, pretty much, managed to avoid spoilers. Until right before the movie hit theaters. Walking through a book store, I bought the novelization. Took it home and managed to not read it for over a week. Right before the movie opened, I caved and read it. And then sat in the darkened theater gobsmacked -- yes, mouth agape in shock and horror -- as those very last scenes played out that were not in the novelization.
Well, that sucks. But there are small mercies: we could potentially be getting a fuller, richer look at the dogfight to end all dogfights on Exegol, including (hopefully) a brief moment of reflection on one of the most unique-looking characters in the galaxy. The official Rise of Skywalker novelization promises “expanded scenes and additional content not seen in theaters.”
