Yet, because most of these leaks come from people who are tangentially connected to the films or outright anonymous they can be hard to prove until the film comes out. Early rumors that suggested Luke Sykwalker had no lines in The Force Awakens proved to be true, despite my scoffing at them repeatedly.

This goofball got some traction when claimed that people “walked out” of test screenings for the film. There is another YouTube personality who wears a giant cardboard mask painted silver who exploits the angriest Star Wars fans with tales that confirm their biases. Yet, more often than not, they are people just engaging in educated guesses or outright fanfiction.įor example, there is a YouTube personality named Mike Zeroh who is notoriously wrong about all of his alleged “leaks.” He’s so incorrect, that moderators at the Star Wars Leaks subreddit don’t even allow his videos to be posted to the wider audience.
