Production companies do their best to keep everything about their movies as secret as possible, but unfortunately there's no way to totally safeguard against the human experience of forgetfulness.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalkerdirector J.J. Abrams revealed on Good Morning AmericaMonday that a near-complete script for the ninth episode of the Skywalker Saga wound up on eBay. Abrams didn't want to name names, but he said that one of the film's actors inadvertently caused this crisis.

"One of our actors — I'm not gonna say which one, I want to, but I won't — left it under their bed and it was found by someone who was cleaning their place and it was given to someone who then went to sell it on eBay," Abrams told Good Morning America.
He said the script was seen online by someone at the company and they managed to get it back before it was sold.
On Wednesday, actor John Boyega went on Good Morning Americaand admitted that he was the one that forgot the script.

"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."
Even with all the added protections, not everything can stay secret.
