The final Star Wars film has been leaked on to an internet file-sharing network just hours after the movie opened in cinemas.
A "work print copy" of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith with a time code, rather than the finished version, appeared online on Thursday.
A tracker site showed more than 16,000 people were downloading the film.
Makers Lucasfilm Ltd and the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) were not available for comment.
The leak comes as Star Wars fans enjoyed the widest simultaneous global movie release of all time.
A US consulting firm has calculated the film's release could cost $627m (£342m) in lost productivity.
The previous five Star Wars films have made a total of $3.8bn (£2bn) at box offices worldwide.
