Warning: Contains big spoilers for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

Movie set visits aren't easy to come by — especially when the movie in question happens to be Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

Josh Gad isn't just anybody, though — and as he tells Conan O'Brien in the clip above, he managed to wangle his way onto the set to watch a key scene. The only problem? The scene was a little too key, and it ended up spoiling one of the movie's biggest moments for him.

"So I'm there, and the first dialogue that comes out of [Emperor Palpatine's] mouth is: 'You are my granddaughter.'" says Gad. "I was f**cking pissed.

"That's like 'Hey, come to my set, I'm M. Night Shyamalan, come to my set, oh guess what, this is Bruce Willis.'

'Hey, I'm Bruce Willis, I just gotta shoot my scene. I'm a ghost.'"

He makes a fair point.
