'Star Wars' Actor John Boyega Admits His Script Ended Up On eBay
Star Wars actor John Boyega admitted to making what is possibly the biggest blunder in the epic franchise's history.
Boyega sat down with Michael Strahan on "Good Morning America" on Wednesday as part of the show's Star Wars. "GMA" has been having all the stars of the franchise finale, "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" to promote the flick that hits theaters in December.
Strahan mentioned that the film's director, J.J. Abrams, stopped by the set on Monday and revealed that a certain actor was careless with the script and it ended up on eBay. After some tough questions from Michael, Boyega caved and confessed to losing his copy of the coveted script.

After coming clean, John did his best to make excuses about how the script ended up for sale online.
“I was moving apartments, and I left the script under my bed,” Boyega told the "GMA" host. “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 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). The person didn’t know the true value,” John exclaimed.
Disney Handled The Situation
Abrams said on Monday that Disney and the production crew were able to avoid a serious disaster and recovered the script fairly quickly.
He recalled that a quick-thinking staffer noticed the script and alerted the Disney authorities. Fast forward to Wednesday, John joked that he got a call from the top executive of Disney,
“Even Mickey Mouse called me, ‘What did you do?!'” Boyega said.
The actor also told Strahan that he does not know how the movie ends. It is unclear if they are keeping that information from him because of his script blunder or if all the actors are left in the Dark Side.
"We shot several different things," the actor recalled. "We did reshoots, I did some changes so I'm curious. I think I watch the movie next week."
Boyega Is Still Not Keeping 'Star Wars' Secrets
The actor admitted to several "Star Wars" sins and said that he has told people all the juicy details of the movie.
"Have you told anyone anything about the movie?" Strahan asked Boyega.
"Look, man, it's the last one. Yes, I have!" John said. "My best friend Asia, I told her. My other boy, Stephan, I told him some stuff."
May the Force be with you, John because Disney has a lot of Force and muscle for those who decide to rebel.
