It looks like principal photography on Star Wars: Episode IX has indeed wrapped, as several social media posts from crew members at Pinewood Studios confirm. The attached images aren't terribly exciting - unless you're a big fan of Star Wars-themed cupcakes!

Fans are still anxiously awaiting a title reveal, but we shouldn't have too much longer to go before some kind of official announcement from either Lucasfilm or director J.J. Abrams.

In related news, Disney has announced that we'll get our first look at some merchandise from the movie during "Triple Force Friday" on October 4. The event will also give us a glimpse of some tie-in products for the first ever live-action Star Wars TV series, The Mandalorian.

Triple Force Friday, the latest in a tradition of Star Wars product launches, is set for October 4, Lucasfilm and Disney announced today. The event will see the debut of brand-new products inspired by three of the year’s biggest Star Wars releases, including:

The highly anticipated, final installment of the Skywalker saga, Star Wars: Episode IX

The first-ever Star Wars live-action series, The Mandalorian, set to debut exclusively on the upcoming streaming service, Disney+.

The latest title from EA and Respawn — Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order — a brand-new action-adventure game releasing holiday 2019

Products spanning categories from toys to collectibles, housewares, books, apparel, and more will go on sale beginning at 12:01 a.m. on October 4. As with past Force Friday celebrations, stores around the world will join the festivities with in-store events and midnight openings.

@WakandanQueen - I feel so bad for this movie.

@Battabing - I actually get more excited the more I see from it.
This scene fits perfectly with other toy rescuing scenes from the previous 3.

@WakandanQueen - I feel like it's getting drowned out by everything else at Disney, not to mention competitors.

@Battabing - Oh, that's what you mean.
I wouldn't feel bad for it. This should be another billion dollar maker for Disney.

@WakandanQueen - wheres the trailer terrible marketing
WakandanQueen

@StarlordsDad - I mean this is Pixar we're talking about.
Their marketing game is weak.

@WakandanQueen - I haven't watched any footage of TS4 yet. Not to avoid spoilers, just due to a serious lack of interest. I guess it'll be good and do well at the BO, but it's a home release case to me.

Frozen II on the other hand...

@Kyos - UP! was the last Pixar film that I really wanted to see and thoroughly enjoyed (and weeped at in the first 15 minutes). Toy Story 3 was great, though I feel a bit overrated and a tad heavy-handed; still excellent though. Just haven't felt inclined to jump into any Pixar movies since.

@MosquitoFarmer - I just realized that I've only ever watched three Pixar movies in the theater: Inside Out, and before that... Toy Story 1+2.

@MosquitoFarmer - boy those 15 mins are an emotional roller coaster. Made me cry in 9th grade biology 😭

@ShimmyShimmyYA - This is movie magic at its devastating finest. Wonderfully done, but so darn tragically sad.

im guessing it will barely make 1 Billion

WakandanQueen - 2/15/2019, 9:24 AM
@Tony93 - I predict Rogue One numbers for this one.
Tony93
Tony93 - 2/15/2019, 9:36 AM
@WakandanQueen -
Force awakens 2.066 billion
Rogue One 1.056 billion
Last Jedi 1.321 billion
Solo 392.9 million

yea Looks like its been on a steady decline.. alot of factors involved, considering this is the final chapter of the sage this SHOULD make close to force awakens numbers but the last jedi happened

@Tony93 - how is it a "steady decline" when your third entry is higher than your 2nd and 4th ones?
Tony93
Tony93 - 2/15/2019, 10:23 AM
@OmegaDaGrodd - make a line graph and plot the points, its still a decline
Tony93
Tony93 - 2/15/2019, 10:25 AM
@OmegaDaGrodd - If you look at it just by episodes, its a steady decline, if you look at the spinoffs, major decline

TheUnworthyThor - 2/15/2019, 10:29 AM
@Tony93 - Just by episodes? Two things can’t make a decline. And a steady decline has to mean each of the four made less than the last.
OmegaDaGrodd
OmegaDaGrodd - 2/15/2019, 11:35 AM
@Tony93 - There have been 2 episodes, you can't have a "steady" anything based on 2 data points. A steady decline would something that trended over more than 2 data points. This is basic data analysis stuff you're messing up

Has anyone seen the 2009 movie Fanboys? I just watched it yesterday and thought it was hilarious.
