Fans are already looking forward to catching "Star Wars: Episode VIII" on the big screen. After the success of the "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" in 2015, many are hoping to get the same kind of excitement and thrill in the next movie of the sequel trilogy.

There are still a few months left until show time but fans are filling themselves up with the plot theories and spoilers news going around the internet. Reports even claimed that part of the script has been leaked online.

In a video posted by YouTube channel Star Wars Theory, it claimed that part of the film will include Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) finally finding out where Snoke (Andy Serkis) has been hiding. The Supreme Leader of the First Order has taken Rey (Daisy Ridley) captive. But this only paved way for Luke to tail the humanoid alien to his hideout.

The leaked script also suggested that Luke appear to be quiet and inquisitive despite knowing that he is on the territory of the dark side. But things will end with a twist as it revealed that Snoke intentionally captured Rey as bait for Luke.

Snoke is also said to mention Anakin Skywalker or Darth Vader, which will leave Luke wondering how he knows so much about him. The purported script then continued to suggest that Snoke is the father of Anakin, which makes him Luke's grandfather.

None of the plots are confirmed though and as detailed in Cheat Sheet, the leaked script is nothing but a hoax. In the four decades of the franchise being around, not even once was the script released for the public to revel in. Aside from that, "Star Wars" is a high-profile classic film with a reputation of keeping a high level of secrecy until release.

There are also rumors going around saying that Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew) will be meeting his demise. While some will think it's impossible, YouTube account Mike Zeroh narrated that Chewbacca will die fighting in a battle.

Detailed mentioned are not official so it's best to take them with a pinch of salt. "Star Wars: Episode VIII" will premiere on Dec. 15, 2017.
