I do not think it gives anything away. If you have seen the other Star Wars 
movies, you must have a pretty good idea what will happen in Episode III.

Further, the subject line ended with a question mark, which means it was a 
question about the nature of the movie, and not a spoiler.

How old should a movie or a book be before we can discuss its contents 
without having to include spoiler warnings? Five years? Ten years? Twenty 
five? Can we discuss the works of William Shakespeare without including 
spoiler warnings? Should we still include a spoiler warning if we mention 
the biological relationship between Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker?
