UPDATE: Following the news of a leaked script for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker being listed on eBay, and director J.J. Abrams explaining it was the fault of an unnamed cast member – John Boyega has now admitted it was his script.
In an interview with Good Morning America (via THR) Boyega said he was moving apartments and accidentally left the script under his bed.
“I was like, I will leave it under my bed and when I wake up the next morning, I will take it and then move. But then my boys came over and we started partying a little bit. And then the script, it just stayed there. And a few weeks after, this cleaner comes in, finds this script and puts it on eBay for like 65 pounds ($84 USD). The person didn’t know the true value,” he said.
