J.J. Abrams discusses Wrapping Up The Star Wars Saga

If you have an actual Star Wars script, don't put it under your bed.
The day after putting the final touches on The Rise Of Skywalker, director J. J. Abrams reveals that one of the actors (as much as he wants to, he won't say who) put their script under their bed, which was found by somebody else, and it ended up on eBay. It was discovered before it sold, though,
Abrams admits, with the pressure to close out the saga, it was "scary". “I care about it so much,” he said. “It means a lot to a lot of people — us included. We felt the pressure, but the opportunity was always greater than the challenge.” He also adds, it would've been impossible to end the Skywalker Saga without Carrie Fisher's presence as Leia. Thankfully, there was enough unused footage from The Force Awakens to tell her story.
“It’s impossible for me to believe she’s not here. We’ve been working with her in the editing room now for almost a year and she’s vital, and she’s there, she’s funny, she’s Leia in this movie. It’s sort of surreal.”
