when did they finish making the last jedi
Star Wars: The Last Jedi The Last Jedi was part of a new trilogy of films announced after Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm in October 2012. It was produced by Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy and Ram Bergman, with Force Awakens director J. J. Abrams as an executive producer. John Williams, composer for the previous films, returned to compose the score. Scenes that required shooting at Skellig Michael in Ireland were filmed during pre-production in September 2015, with principal photography beginning at Pinewood Studios in the United Kingdom in February 2016 and ending in July 2016. Post-production wrapped in September 2017.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi The Last Jedi had its world premiere in Los Angeles on December 9, 2017, and was released in the United States on December 15, 2017. It has grossed over $1Â billion worldwide, making it the third-highest-grossing film of 2017, the 22nd-highest-grossing film of all time, and the second highest-grossing film in the Star Wars franchise, and received largely positive reviews. Critics praised it for its plot, ensemble cast, action, effects, score and emotional weight; some considered it the best Star Wars film since The Empire Strikes Back.[6][7][8][9][10] A sequel, provisionally titled Star Wars: Episode IX, is scheduled for release on December 20, 2019.[11]
