Filming on Star Wars: Episode VIII has officially wrapped.

One of the most highly-anticipated sequels of recent years is officially in the bag, and about to embark on the lengthy process of post-production ahead of its release next year. Of course, its secrets are closely guarded against the outside world, with Daisy Ridley even having to shield Rey's new hairstyle from prying eyes on her Instagram; but spirits certainly seem to be high.

Cast and crew celebrated the film's wrap party in absolute style, taking to London's Natural History Museum for a night of dancing and some extra special guests, an elite squad of dancing stormtroopers. Britain's Got Talent finalists Boogie Storm took to the stage dressed in the costumes to perform a whole host of iconic dance routines, from the Nae Nae to Beyoncé's "Single Ladies".

A performance which certainly impressed Luke Skywalker himself, with Mark Hamill posting a video of the routine to Facebook with the glorious hashtag, #TheEmpireShakesItsBooty.

That said, don't necessarily expect to see footage anytime soon; Disney's focus will likely stay fixated entirely on its riskier endeavour Rogue One up to its release, though the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con may tease out a few revelations for the sequel.

Star Wars: Episode VIII is set to hit cinemas December 2017.
