'Star Wars: Episode IX' Wraps Filming, J.J. Abrams Posts Emotional Cast Photo
It's a wrap on "Star Wars: Episode IX" — break out the tissues.
Principal photography on the film has concluded, and to mark the occasion, director J.J. Abrams posted an emotional photo of the three lead actors: Daisy Ridley (Rey), John Boyega (Finn), and Oscar Isaac (Poe).
They're embracing on a desert set, with crew members seen in the background:
Boyega also posted the photo, tweeting, "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."
It's a rare and precious moment, as the trio has shared very little screen time, reuniting only in the final moments of "The Last Jedi."
The photo should spark some theorizing online among "Star Wars" fans. What planet is this desert located on? Maybe Rey has returned to Jakku? Or perhaps they are on Tattooine?
Of course, "Episode IX" still has a long way to go. The film will still have to complete post-production and likely some reshoots before its December 20 release date.
And it doesn't even have an official title yet (TELL US, ALREADY).
