Two days after director J.J. Abrams wouldn't reveal whose 'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker' script ended up on EBay, the culprit has confessed.
In one of the buzziest “Star Wars” reveals since Darth Vader’s “I am your father,” the actor responsible for a leaked “Rise of Skywalker” script has officially come forward.
John Boyega, who plays storm trooper-turned-resistance-fighter Finn in the new trilogy, confessed to the crime Wednesday on “Good Morning America” days after director J.J. Abrams and costar Daisy Ridley. True to Abrams’ original account, the British star said he accidentally left a copy of the top-secret screenplay under his bed before it landed in the wrong hands.
“All right, all right, guys — it was me,” he said. “I was moving apartments, and I left the script under my bed. I was like, ‘You know what? I will 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 a few weeks after, this cleaner comes in, finds this script and puts it on EBay for like 65 pounds. The person didn’t know the true value.
