Has Peter Jackson Read Star Wars: Episode VIII?

Does Peter Jackson have the Star Wars: Episode VIII script in his possession -- or is he merely trolling the interwebs?

In his latest video blog for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, Jackson dropped a playful little Easter egg at the 4:51 marker, during which the filmmaker casually lets slip a very brief glimpse at what appears to be his own personal copy of the Star Wars sequel screenplay.

However, given that the video was uploaded on April 1st, this could very well be Jackson's own idea of an elaborate April Fools' Day prank. Even so, one can't help but wonder, is this the director's way of hinting that he's up for helming the next Star Wars picture?

Let us know what you think in the comments, and also be sure to check out Jackson's latest Hobbit vlog in full:
