J.J. Abrams is probably having a tizzy fit at the moment, since he's been trying so hard to keep details about the new Star Wars movie under wraps, but it's so very hard to keep a good secret these days, especially in an age where every phone can take quality pictures in a blink of an eye.

A new set of leaked photos has been released online, on the French website Mintinbox, and they confirm what has been a speculation for months: the fact that the legendary ship, the Millennium Falcon, is going to be featured in the movie.

The photos show many details of the ship, indicating that whoever took them, got a good look and even managed to walk around the set. There is a picture of the cockpit, the ship's interior and even a fourth photo which shows a ship's corridor that looks like it could be from a Star Destroyer.

This is not the first time that the Millennium Falcon is rumored to appear in the film. In early June, there were several photos allegedly from the set of the movie, suggesting the iconic spaceship would be making an appearance.

At the time, director J.J. Abrams posted a response in the form of a photo. On a small sheet of paper, the director wrote “I wish people would stop leaking photos from Episode VII. And making ridiculous claims that the Millennium Falcon is in the movie.”

Ironically, the message was posted on a Dejarik table, a hologram-based game that Chewbacca and R2-D2 played in the original Star Wars film. The game was, of course, located in the Millennium Falcon, which proved that Abrams realized he could not contain the leaks and so he decided to address the issue by poking fun at it.

Another proof that the Millennium Falcon was in the movie was revealed when actor Harrison Ford broke his ankle while filming a scene on the ship. From later accounts, his ankle was broken when a hydraulic door fell on it.

Thankfully, since then the actor has recovered, although he did scare many of the fans, because it was rumored that his accident was going to cause a delay in the movie's release. But everything worked out fine and Ford seemed to be walking well when he appeared last week at “The Expendables 3” premiere.

Right now, the movie is still on schedule and it is expected to be released in theaters on December 18, 2015 in the United States.
