Episode IX’s Shoot Comes To A Close As J.J. Abrams Posts An Emotional Cast Photo

Star Wars: Episode IX is in the can and we’re all crying about it.

Director J.J. Abrams commemorated the end of shooting the final film in the Skywalker saga (which began way back at the beginning of August) with the following tweet and emotional photo showing cast members Daisy Ridley, John Boyega and Oscar Issac embracing on set.

John Boyega posted the same photo with the caption:

That’s a wrap on Star Wars episode 9 and the end to a chapter of my life that I couldn’t be more thankful for. What a process! It really has been a joy to be in these movies surrounded by amazing people. JJ thank you for making my dreams come true.

Here’s a larger version so you can pick up all the little details.

That tweet marks only Abrams’ second mention of Episode IX since joining Twitter when filming began. The other, to jog your memory, was this…

And, as of writing, that’s all we have in regards to official information and photos for the new Star Wars film. However, the last few movies have announced their titles as production ended, so it’s fair to guess a title reveal is coming soon and probably much more by the time we get to April and Star Wars Celebration in Chicago.

It’s also important to note that while principal photography is now complete, more filming will take place. Abrams revealed in the commentary to The Force Awakens that a lot of that film was tweaked with reshoots while editing (sometimes just in a side room of Bad Robot in Los Angeles, CA) so you’d expect that to happen again.

Star Wars: Episode IX opens December 19 and we’ll have much more soon.
