“Star Wars: Episode VII” director J.J. Abrams is serious about visitors keeping quiet about what they see on set.
Frank Marshall, husband of Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy, posted an image of a poster found on the Pinewoods set in London on his official Twitter account. The poster reads, “loose lips bring down starships.”
Since “Star Wars: Episode VII” was announced, there have been multiple photos and alleged plot leaks.

One of the most recent photo leaks revealed the new “Chrome” troopers for the upcoming installment. IndieRevolver shared an image and description of the alleged “Star Wars” costume.
“Rather than squared tubes along the cheeks, the bottom of this helmet flares out into a fairly sharp-edged arc,” IndieRevoler described the suit. “Where those contours end at the front of the helmet, there does not appear to be an aerator or vent on either side.” (Click here to see the image)
There have also been leaks regarding a major plot twist in the franchise involving newcomer Daisy Ridley and returning alum Mark Hamill. Making Star Wars claimed a source said the big scene will gone down as followed:
“The black figure sits on a throne. He’s cloaked. We see him from the side. His boots are not unlike Anakin Skywalker’s from Revenge of the Sith. He is approached by ‘Kira.’ The light from outside the shrine emanates from the door way and she walks through it. The cloaked figure sits in darkness, a natural red/yellow fiery light behind him, almost like amber backlights the figure.
“According to a source, ‘Kira’ believes she is there to meet Luke Skywalker, but instead she finds the monster. In another depiction, she is facing the camera, the cyborg character is embracing her and the look on her face is one of resignation and defeat. We are looking over a character’s shoulder, of what is believed to be Boyega’s character.”
“The revelation beats ‘Kira’ and her quest becomes hopeless,” according to Making Star Wars. “She resigns herself to joining the figure who is the opposite of what she hoped to find. The evil she sought to vanquish with the power of Luke Skywalker, is Luke Skywalker himself. We are left not knowing the future and how this happened.”
All that said, it’s understandable why Abrams would be incredibly paranoid about plot spoilers. “Star Wars: Episode VII” will be released to theaters on Dec. 18, 2015.
