‘Star Wars: Episode 9’ Has Wrapped Filming – See A New Image From The Set [Updated]
Updated: We’ve added a couple of additional photos to the article. Our original story follows.
It’s official: principal photography onStar Wars: Episode 9has been completed. Of course, now there’s going to be nearly a year of post-production, and certainly a few weeks of reshoots, but the bulk of the final film in the Skywalker Saga is in the can. This surely means a title reveal is just around the corner. Right?
To mark the occasion, directorJ.J. Abramsshared an image from the set, with series starsDaisy Ridley,John Boyega, andOscar Isaachaving a moment.
Star Wars: Episode 9 Wraps Filming
It feels impossible, but today wrapped photography on Episode IX. There is no adequate way to thank this truly magical crew and cast. I’m forever indebted to you all.pic.twitter.com/138AprtFuZ

The image finds the trio behind Rey, Finn, and Poe sharing an embrace in the middle of the desert with a small army of crew (and maybe an extra or two?) out of focus in the background. Our three heroes still look like themselves, dressed similarly to how they have in the past…save for Poe, who is wearing space suspenders. Anyway, he’s Oscar Isaac, so he can pull it off. There’s not too much to take in here, but this does confirm the existence of yet another desert planet, or at least a return to Jakku or Tatooine.
Interestingly, this looks like the rare occasion that all three of these characters are in the same scene. They were scattered for much of the two previous films, reuniting only for the final moments ofThe Last Jedi.
Since the titles ofStar Wars: The Force AwakensandSolo: A Star Wars Storywere both announced on the day they wrapped, there’s a strong chance we’ll know what to call this movie very, very soon. In the meantime, get comfortable. The first trailer isn’t expected to arrive until Star Wars Celebration in April.
Star Wars: Episode 9will star Ridley, Boyega, Isaac,Adam Driverand a bunch of newcomers, includingKeri Russell, Matt Smith, Richard E. Grant, Dominic Monaghan,andNaomi Ackie. It will hit theaters onDecember 20, 2019.Update: John Boyega just shared a couple of wrap gifts in his Instagram stories. The first is a blaster he received from Lucasfilm presidentKathleen Kennedy.
The second is far more strange: it appears to be aThe Amazing Spider-Man-related gift from his co-star Daisy Ridley:
Why would Ridley get Boyega an Oscorp Industries vial as a wrap gift? Is it an inside joke? Did he audition to play Spider-Man and didn’t get the part? Who knows!
