Last week it was revealed that a A Star Wars: Rise Of Skywalker landed on Ebay. Later in the week it was reveled that John Boyega was the culprit behind the lost script. Finn himself revealed during an interview on Good Morning America that he accidentally lost his The Rise of Skywalker script, which then found its way to eBay, where it almost sold for a whopping…65 British pounds (almost $84).Boyega explained,
“What happened was, it was actually from my apartment,” “I was moving apartments and I left the script under my bed. I was just like, you know what, I’m going to leave it under my bed. When I wake up in the morning, I’ll take it and then move. But then my boys came over and we started partying a little bit. And then the script, it just stayed there.”
“And then a few like weeks after, this cleaner comes in, finds the script, and then puts on eBay for like £65. So the person didn’t know the true value. And I actually thought this was a great opportunity for the fans to read the movie before they see it. Maybe I’m on to something. You know what I mean?”
It’s safe to say Boyega dodged a huge bullet after the script was recovered.
