"It was me," Boyega said when pressed. "I was moving apartments and I left the script under my bed. I was just like, 'You know what, I'm just 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 the script just stayed there."
Whoops. Boyega said that it was scary when it popped up on eBay and he started getting calls from all sorts of officials, including Mickey Mouse himself.
Abrams mentioned the lengths to which people working on these movies have to go to keep information from leaking out to the public.
"The security is insane," Abrams said. "They had only a handful of scripts and they were printed on crazy, uncopyable paper."
