00:00Careful, he was not. Star Wars actor John Boyega ended up on Disney's Dark Side after
00:12the star's copy of the script for the upcoming Rise of Skywalker movie ended up on eBay.
00:18The man who plays the reformed stormtrooper Finn in the current Star Wars trilogy explained
00:23how it all happened to Michael Strahan on Good Morning America Wednesday. Boyega left
00:28the script under his bed at a temporary apartment, planning to take it with him the next morning.
00:34Then he got distracted. Then a few weeks later, with Boyega long gone, the script found its
00:49way to the internet. That's about $85, a pretty
00:58low price to have all the spoilers for one of the most anticipated movies of the year
01:03in your hands. Earlier in the week, Rise of Skywalker director J.J. Abrams admitted one
01:09of his stars was responsible for the leak, but that someone at Disney found the listing,
01:13recognized that the script was real, and forced eBay to remove it. The whole episode got Boyega
01:19in pretty big trouble, and not just with his director.
01:22Even Mickey Mouse called me like, what did you do?
01:26Rise of Skywalker hits theaters December 20th, and now we'll have to actually see it to know
01:31what happens. Keep the force strong with you by visiting THR.com. For The Hollywood Reporter
01:37News, I'm Mike Janela.
