‘Star Wars 8’ wraps production, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniel turn to twitter as Star Wars Celebration 2016 nears

It’s officially a wrap. Luke Skywalker star Mark Hamill shared the news on twitter, as did Anthony Daniels and pic of John Boyega.

Hamill interacted with fans on Twitter and revealed that Star Wars Episode 8’s final day of shooting will be on Friday, July 22, but now says production is complete.

Episode 8 director Rian Johnson will appear at the Future Filmmakers panel at Star Wars Celebration 2016 in London, which takes place from July 15 to July 17, so fans may get a subtitle or a brief tease.

Anthony Daniel had this to say on Twitter.

“Sad yesterday. I wrapped on Ep VIII. Thanks to ALL the team especially David & Joe, Kathy & Ram, Jamie & of course RIAN. I have loved it. XX”

There have been rumors that Rey begins her Jedi training under Luke Skywalker’s tutelage in Star Wars 8, with other reports claiming that Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) has captured both Finn (John Boyega) and Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac), in an effort to lure Rey out of hiding for another lightsaber duel.

Also back are Domhnall Gleeson (General Hux), Gwendoline Christie (Captain Phasma), Carrie Fisher (Leia Organa) and Lupita Nyong’o (Maz Kanata) also reprising their roles from Star Wars: The Force Awakens. This highly-anticipated sequel is set for release on December 15, 2017
