While there are still a few days left of shooting, bothMark HamillandDaisy Ridleyhave confirmed on social media that they have both wrapped on this highly-anticipated sequel and the wrap party has already happened. With that, we get a video from Luke Skywalker himself that shows some very sexy Stormtroopers dancing for the crowd

The actress also revealed her “heart is brimming” in the post, but her co-starMark Hamilltook it one step further. The actor also shared a photo of his own on Instagram, offering fans a glimpse inside the wrap party for this sequel. Here’s what he had to say on social media below.

The actor, who recently shaved off hisJedi beard, also took to Facebook last night to share a video from the wrap party, showcasing a group of dancing Stormtroopers. According to Heroic Hollywood, this group is known as Boogie Storm, who have appeared on the TV seriesBritain’s Got Talent. These dancers are seen in this video performing to hit songs like “Gangam Style” by Psy, “Single Ladies” by Beyonce and “Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)” by Silento.
With the production winding down, the cast and directorRian Johnsonare expected to appear atStar WarsCelebration this weekend in London, but it hasn’t been confirmed if any footage, photos or posters will be unveiled during this event.
