"Star Wars 8" is still a year away from being released but the first line that Luke Skywalker says in the film has already been leaked online.
According to recent reports, YouTuber Mike Zeroh shared the leaked footage where Skywalker (Mark Hamill) is seen talking to Rey (Daisy Ridley). The snippet shared online, as per the YouTuber, was carefully researched and acquired from various resources. Even though Zeroh insists that the fans take this leak with a grain of salt, he strongly believes the claim to be true, The Week revealed .
In his claim, Zeroh disclosed that Skywalker's first words on screen are "You contain the spark that will rekindle the fire," The Independent reported. The film that is set for next year release will feature Skywalker's opening dialogue in the first trailer of the upcoming "Star Wars" franchise, claimed Zeroh, which is expected to release in early 2017.
The leaked dialogue, as per sources, is ambiguous and makes it perfect trailer material as it generates just enough curiosity without giving away the plot.
Meanwhile, reports also claim that the leaked dialogue managed to sneak out of highly secured filming sets. Inside sources reveal that the script has been kept in a lockdown and all the stars on the sets of the film have to shred theirs after use.
Hamill, who plays Skywalker in "Star Wars 8" expressed his agitation about the necessity of shredding the scripts. He explains that even though he understands the need for absolute confidentiality, it often gets out of hand.
Hamill also explained that he is in that elderly phase of his life where he needs his script so that he can scribble his notes to take home and read. But this has been made impossible due to shred of used scripts.
