Episode IX is the highly-anticipated wrap-up on the current Star Wars trilogy. With its theatrical release a little under a year away, the film is becoming more of a reality as certain actors are finishing their shooting, including C-3PO actor Anthony Daniels.

Via his personal Twitter account, C-3PO actor Anthony Daniels bid the cast and crew of Star Wars Episode IX a touching farewell and confirmed he has wrapped filming on his scenes for the highly-anticipated cap to the new trilogy that started with The Force Awakens and continued two years ago with the controversial The Last Jedi.

The actor had this to say:

“Today was 3PO’s last on Episode IX. He’s sad – so am I. But we’re so proud to have worked with such a lovely, talented cast & crew lead by J.J. & Kathy. I’ll miss everyone but I’m glad to know that we’ve been making something exceptional together, to share with the waiting world.”
