Now, I would normally never bring this up, and I looked into it before deciding to share. One can look at my history to see that I am not this type of person. Here it goes.



I got curious when I read on another forum that The Last Jedi had a 5 minute sample leaked and Disney immediately took it down, now obviously everyone bashed on that as fake, so I decided to do a little research and apparently correct...



The Last Jedi work print has leaked.



According to the story, Disney were given 3 deadlines (I imagine for ransom) and apparently no comeback was given (maybe they didn't believe them?). 5 minute samples were sold anonymously to groups that leak stuff for bitcoins. 2 groups bought the 5 minute samples. Other people were asking for proof, and a mod on a forum for leaks was sent 2 screenshots, one of Rey and Finn reuniting at the Rebel Base, and another unconfirmed ending scene. The mod who apparently has a good reputation said they seemed legitimate and that Finn was wearing clothes never before seen in any trailer or publicly available picture.



The leaker spoiled the very beginning 2 minutes and the last 30 minutes (in a couple of sentences). Which I will not bring up. Now it's apparently been sold to someone for 6.5 bitcoins and the deal was that they had to prove that they were capable of stripping all watermarks and audio tracers from the copy and that it was not to be released publicly until at least Nov 10th (don't know why and don't know if that will happen).



That's all I have, believe it, don't believe it. It honestly makes no difference to me. It just makes me a little sad that it has gotten to this.



I have no proof of any of this otherwise. Just thought I'd share this with you guys.



I can also understand why Disney would absolutely not want this information to go public.
