For a guy who is notoriously great at keeping plot details a secret, J.J. Abrams has been faced with a variety of leaks from the set of Star Wars: Episode VII – shooting now in England.
Last week, images from an aviation company showed Han Solo’s Millennium Falcon under construction and an X-Wing Fighter under a tarp. Today, eagle-eyed Twitterers @henricku75 and @JamesDeanGB posted photos of Adam Driver in what looks like an X-Wing pilot uniform.

Looks like Adam Driver to me? Not a villain after all perhaps? @ericgeller #StarWarsVII (ref: Rick Lawrence, FB) pic.twitter.com/QPOFYEbEkx

Until now, the scuttlebutt on the Internet had posited that Driver would be playing a Vader-like villain in Episode VII. So if he’s playing a good guy, then who’s the baddie? Or maybe he starts out good and turns bad a la Anakin Skywalker?
With all these leaks, it doesn’t look like Abrams is going to be able to keep the plot genie in the bottle.
