May the Force be with John Boyega, who has ‘fessed up to being the actor whose “Star Wars” script landed on eBay.

“I was like, I will leave it under my bed and when I wake up the next morning, I will take it and then move. But then my boys came over and we started partying a little bit. And the script, it just stayed there,” he said.
“And a few weeks after, this cleaner comes in, finds this script and puts it on eBay for like 65 pounds ($84). The person didn’t know the true value,” Boyega added.
