Below the cut, John Boyega is no doubt happy to have two less secrets to keep, someone is now verified, and Bad Robot goes to the Eye. (Oh, and don’t forget J.J. Abrams’ master trolling.)

Best kept secret! These women are going to be epic!

Daisy Ridley got verified!

I got VERIFIED yo! Does that mean I have to start writing funny/interesting tweets?!… Oh gad no

— Daisy Ridley (@ridley_daisy) June 3, 2014

….and shot down a (since deleted) fake Instagram:

any personal photos of me that appear online have been taken without whoever took said photo of me's consent. It's horrible. Don't do it

Meanwhile, Mark Hamill is living it up at Disney….

Boyega encountered someone off their game…

Lol funny conversation explaining to a lovely American man that I am not African American. Good lord. #Earthhasmanycountries
