Recently, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker director J.J. Abrams revealed that the script for Episode IX had almost leaked online after one of the stars of the film left their script under their bed and it ended up on eBay. However, the mystery has now been solved regarding who the culprit was as John Boyega confessed to the incident.
“Alright guys, it was me,” Boyega admitted during an interview with Good Morning America. “Let me tell you how all this went down. It was actually from my apartment. I was moving apartments and I left my script under my bed. I was just like, ‘You know what? I’m gonna leave it under my bed when I wake up in the morning, I’ll take it and then move.’ But then my boys came over and we started partying a little bit, and the script, it just stayed there. And then, a few weeks after, this cleaner comes in, finds this script, and then puts it on eBay for like, £65. The person didn’t know the true value.”
Boyega tweeted the video of his appearance on GMA with the caption, “It was me dammit!”

Fortunately, Disney handled the entire situation before the entire world read the script and plot for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker while the film was still in production.
