A scene from the movie, Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
WARNING SPOILERS: Star Wars fans are in a stew after a reddit user claimed to leak details of the latest script online.
The post shared by a user named Louevilone nearly 10 days ago has generated hundreds of comments and plenty of debate over intricate plot twists allegedly included in
the eighth instalment of the world-famous franchise.
It claims Rhian Johnson's next film will be called Echoes of the Dark Side and follow up on loose ends from JJ Abrams' The Force Awakens with new details about the background of Daisey Ridley's character Rey as well as character developments for Finn, Kylo and Ren.
But whether it is a legitimate leak or the result of an overactive imagination remains to be seen given that previous releases have also been subject to similar claims and security has been extremely tight on set.
The Force Awakens director JJ Abrams has also previously been coy about Rey's identity, telling a Q & A session in the US that "she doesn't discover [her parents] in Episode VII. Not that they may not already be in her world."
