Leaks for Star Wars Episode 8 have been very common, and why not? It benefits the fans just as much as it helps the people making it with free promotion. Set photos have leaked, the A-Wing has been confirmed and we might be seeing the return of a much loved character.

"I can't believe we're halfway through the shoot. (We're halfway through the shoot!)" 

The director also included in modified quote from Army of Darkness that read "Good. Bad. I'm the guy with the microfiber sham."
