The release of Star Wars: Episode IX on Dec. 20 is still far, far away, but director J.J. Abrams is reassuring everyone that the last chapter in the Skywalker saga is well on its way towards theaters.

In a tweet Friday morning, Abrams posted a photo of stars Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, and Oscar Isaac in character, seemingly hugging it out. After months of filming, the image's caption announced the official end of photography for the project.

"It feels impossible, but today wrapped photography on Episode IX," reads the post. "There is no adequate way to thank this truly magical crew and cast. I'm forever indebted to you all."

Considering this is a Star Wars movie, there is likely an unfathomable amount of post-production work still to be done — but the check-in from Abrams has fans excited all the same.

Some thanked Abrams and his crew for the work they have done so far.

Others demanded more content.

Others still mourned the end of an era.

And the best of us appreciated this gem for exactly what it is: adorable.

See you in December, Star Wars fans.
