The director added the caption, “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.”
Fans have been waiting to get any new information about the film, with previous films waiting to reveal their official titles once principal photography wrapped. With Abrams confirming the production had reached this milestone, we can likely expect a title reveal imminently.
The above photo marks only the second official behind-the-scenes shot from the film, following Abrams’ post announcing production had begun last summer. The image ignited lots of passionate reactions from fans, ranging from joy to sadness and everything in between.
