John Boyega’s “Lost” Star‑Wars Script Goes on eBay
Shortly after moving houses, John Boyega accidentally left a top‑secret Star‑Wars screenplay under his bed.
He explained the whole fiasco on Good Morning America—it’s a story that reads like a sci‑fi blooper reel.
The Unplanned eBay Adventure
- Boyega was unpacking; he thought, “I’ll stash it under the bed.”
- Later, friends “partied” and forgot to grab the script.
- A cleaner discovered it weeks later and, under the assumption it was a thrift‑shop find, listed it for £65 on eBay.
How the Team Pulled Saves The Day
Director J.J. Abrams heard about the auction and raced to reclaim the invoice before it sold. The film’s secrets stayed secure.
Why the Script Stole the Show
In the Star‑Wars universe, scripts are guarded tighter than a space‑ship’s core. Most actors only see their scenes, and reviewers stay out of the loop until the release. Boyega admitted he was clueless about the finale—he even plans to watch the completed movie in a week.
Coming Teams and Box‑Office Hype
Disney’s The Rise of Skywalker begins worldwide rolling on Dec. 18 and could hit $200 million in North America on opening weekend, Variety reports.
Original Star‑Wars icons Mark Hamill and the late Carrie Fisher also star, with Fisher’s triumphant return as Princess Leia woven from unused footage after her passing in 2016.
