RoS Script Leaked to eBay


Lolwut?

A real script for “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” accidentally leaked onto eBay because an actor left a copy under their bed, director JJ Abrams claimed during an appearance on “Good Morning America.”

“They were really nervous about anything getting out, and so they had only a handful of scripts, and they were printed on crazy, uncopy-able paper. And then one of our actors, I won’t say which one — I want to, but I won’t — left it under their bed and it was found by someone who was cleaning their room. And it was given to someone else, who then went to sell it on EBay,” Abrams said.

According to Abrams, someone at Disney saw the script for sale, “and they got it back before it was sold.”

Well, it's good if you want to buy some REALLY expensive toilet paper, I guess.

Boyega admitted it on GMA.

I bet his excuse was: "I was still in character, so it was Finn who messed up"

Precisely ... except it didn't "trend" like they thought it would.

Plus any *real* person would have made a photocopy.

Yeah, its convenient Disney bought it back so quickly. But if its true I'm happy the maid made some extra money!

reply

If it was true the maid was a thief and should be arrested and prosecuted. Simply because a guest inadvertently leaves something in their hotel room does not mean that it is free game to whoever finds it. She would have been required to give it to the management so that they could contact the guest and see if they wanted to reclaim it. Instead she decided it was worth money and took it... no different than if the maid goes into your room and decides she likes the camera you left in you suitcase and takes when she was cleaning your room.

reply

Indeed, the maid would know she'd get sacked by doing this and/or face prosecution, which makes me think its more a stunt than anything else.

reply

Yep, if it was legit....it would have gone viral and there would be more panic/trouble for the actor who leaked it.
