SPOILERS

The mainstream press have been picking up on a purported Star Wars Episode VIII script leak.

The so-called revelations originated on Reddit over a week ago.

According to a poster dubbed LouEvilOne:

The eighth chapter will be titled Echoes of the Dark Side.
Rey is the reincarnated Chosen One.
She was dumped on Jakku by Luke.
Benicio Del Toro is a New Republic politician named Vikram.

None of the above truly requires a spoiler warning. That’s because Lucasfilm creative executive Pablo Hidalgo has already debunked the script as “garbage”.

There’s nothing Hidalgo can’t tell you about the Star Wars universe -not that he would ever spill the beans about tightly guarded future plot details!

On this occasion, he responded to fans on Twitter regarding the Reddit situation. Just so you don’t have to root through his timeline:

The as-yet untitled movie by Rian Johnson will be released on December 15 2017.

MARK HAMILL TEASES “YODA-LIKE” TRAINING FOR EPISODE VIII

Lindsay Acland

I live by the sea near my original hometown Portsmouth – the UK’s only island city! (That makes it sound way better than it really is.) When I say I’m ‘near Portsmouth’, I’m actually over the water on the Isle of Wight. My parents moved here when I was three. They took me with them. I loved books and wanted to be a writer or an actress. When I was ten my dad told my mother to stop buying me books because he didn’t want me to get “big-headed”. I left school at 13 (I have something in common with Jennifer Lawrence!) and then shortly after I went back to The Mainland. Amazingly, I went to university, where I acted in plays. I wanted to be an actress but stage fright nixed that. I’m currently stranded back on the Isle of Wight. After university, I went to live with my dad again. I was his caretaker through his depression, cancer and pulmonary fibrosis. He died October 2018. Slow to the Party was born the following year. I’d blogged on and off for a bit, but it helped me after his death to dedicate myself to it, while I rebuild (hopefully) my new life. I’m always a little slow to the party. Stuff just gets in the way.
