Daisy Ridley recently shared a photo in Instagram showing behind-the-scenes footage while Mark Hamill revealed that shooting for the film is almost over.

According Games Radar, the lovely actress posted a behind-the-scenes photograph of what looks to be Ahch-To, which is the planet where Rey found Jedi master Luke Skywalker at the end of the first episode.

In her Instagram post, Ridley wrote that if Rian Johnson can share, so can she, apparently referring to the film's director. Johnson has also shared some photos in his own Instagram account. You can view the photo that Ridley posted below:

Meanwhile, actor Mark Hamill, who plays Luke Skywalker in the epic movies, confirmed that the film is about to wrap up shooting, according to gamespot. The crew, which started filming last February, is set to finish in around two weeks, declared the actor.

Hamill made the confirmation after an earlier comment stating that he will soon finish with the movie and will be out of work. The statement sparked speculations from the fans which led to the actor clarifying later that he did not mean to imply that the iconic character will be killed in the movie, similar to what happened to Han Solo in the events of Episode 7.

Fans are excited and are anticipating the release of the movie, which has a cult following around the globe. Fan expectations are high that they will catch a first glimpse of movie material at the Star Wars Celebration in Europe which will take place this month in London. The film hits theaters on Dec.15, 2017 and is expected to make another killing in the box office.
