It comes just a day after director J.J. Abrams revealed that the script for the upcoming film was leaked online after a cast member left a copy of it “under their bed.”
Abrams said: “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 place. And it was given to someone else, who then went to sell it on eBay.”
Whilst Abrams wouldn’t reveal who the actor was, he did note that a Disney employee spotted the script online and “got it back before it sold.”
Meanwhile, Star Wars fans have recently vented their anger at a possible cameo appearance from Ed Sheeran in the forthcoming movie.
