Star Wars script ended up on eBay by accident

Things almost went horribly wrong for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker director JJ Abrams before the film even hit the big screen.

Speaking on Good Morning America, the director told of how a top secret script wound up for sale on eBay, with the potential of ruining the plot for fans everywhere.

He said:"The security is insane. The company were really nervous about anything get out, so there were only a handful of scripts and they were printed on crazy uncopyable[sic] paper.

Then one of our actors, I'm not going to say who. I want to, but I won't, left it under their bed and it was found by someone who was cleaning their place.

"It was given to someone else, who then went to sell it on eBay and someone at the company said you know there's a script that looks like a legit script that's for sale on eBay?"

Thankfully, the force was with Abrams and the Star Wars crew, as they manged to get it back before it was sold to any member of the public.
