Star Wars 8 to complete filming this month
Mark Hamill: "It wraps on July 22nd 2016"
According to Luke Skywalker actor Mark Hamill, Star Wars: Episode VIII completes filming July 22, eighteen months ahead of the film's December 2017 release date.
Hamill confirmed the film's progress on Twitter.
The early finish leaves plenty of time for editing, promotion, and possible reshoots.
In the meantime, the Star Wars standalone Rogue One is scheduled for a 16 December 2016 Ireland release.
Watch the trailer for that film below.
