Star Wars Episode 7 Plot And Cast Leaked: Luke Skywalker Could Be A Villain; Lupita Nyong'o's Character Revealed!
A lot of details about the plot and cast of Star Wars: Episode 7 might be under the blanket, except for these: Lupita Nyong'o's character and the fate of Luke Skywalker.
Here's the forum post by an unidentified 4Chan member with the alias Mizzlewump last March 31:
"I've read the second draft of the Abrams/Kasdan script," he claimed.
"I've chosen a trip so that people can't BS in my name when trailers, other media, and the film itself confirm what I say. I won't post again until then so as not to be accused of attention whoring. Please don't read unless you want to have the film spoiled."
