Star Wars: Episode VIII doesn't have an officially announced title yet, but one of its lead actors has wrapped on principal photography. Daisy Ridley, who reprises her role as Rey [Insert Last Name Theory Here] from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, announced she wrapped on the film today. "My heart is brimming," she said in an instagram post. "#ReyOut"

And that is a wrap on Star Wars Episode VIII. My heart is brimming. #reyout

Her wrapping comes after last weekend's general wrap party, and comes just in time for her to make an as-yet-unannounced special guest appearance at Star Wars Celebration Europe this weekend. The "Future Filmmakers Panel" on Sunday afternoon that closes the show has writer-director Rian Johnson already on board, and promised special guests, so if she's to show up, that would be the most likely time.

Star Wars: Episode VIII is now in the midst of wrapping actors from principal photography now, for a December 15, 2017 release. The film, directed by Johnson, will continue the story of Rey as she discovers her Force abilities, hopefully learning now from Luke Skywalker, who she located at the end of the last movie. Of course, there's the villainous Kylo Ren and Supreme Leader Snoke to contend with, as well. More news about Episode VIII is expected this weekend from Celebration in London, England.
