8 Movies The Simpsons (Probably) Spoiled For You

4. The Empire Strikes Back

When Star Wars: The Force Awakens was released, fans and stars alike took to Twitter to encourage audiences to not "be a Homer". That's how pervasive The Simpsons' spoiler drop for The Empire Strikes Back, with Homer exclaiming shock that - spoiler alert - Vader is Luke's father in front of a line of waiting patrons, is.

Of course, this was part of a flashback sequence and when The Way We Was first aired, the twist was over a decade old, putting the joke definitely on Homer. Still, that doesn't make it any less of a spoiler, especially for a younger generation.

Although, more so than any other film on this list, it is admittedly unlikely that too many people were spoiled by this; if you're old enough to watch The Simpsons, you're probably going to know the score with Anakin, regardless of if you've seen Star Wars or not.
