How will Episode IX compare to Star Wars: The Last Jedi which saw Rey improve her lightsaber skills and Luke Skywalker grow more fearful of the Dark Side of the Force?

John, who plays Finn, looked completely relaxed as he waited with Oscar, Poe Dameron, between takes.

The filming, which is taking place in a top secret location, is just a few miles outside of the capital.

Large groups of extras could be seen milling around, all dressed in over-sized camouflage coats.

Others were wrapped up in dirty black and grey coats and they were seen listened intently to their instructions before filming started.

Chewbacca was also spotted filming some scenes next to a horse which was covered with grey fur.

Actor Joonas Suotamo, who plays the iconic character, looked exhausted as he took off the top part of his costume to get some air.

Later rain stopped play and the cast and crew were forced to take shelter until the rain stopped.

Joonas sat and talked to some of the crew from under his umbrella at the top of the hill where he had been filming his scenes.

So far the film has been shrouded in secrecy Credit: ISO Images

The film has been shrouded in secrecy since it was revealed it had started production.

It is being directed by JJ Abrams, the visionary behind the The Force Awakens.

When asked about returning to work on Star Wars 9, he said he'd wanted “to go beyond, and do better than we did in 7”.

Earlier this year The Sun exclusively revealed how Ewan McGregor was returning for Star Wars 9.

However bosses are so keen to keep his role a secret he will be working on his scenes behind closed doors.

The Scottish actor last played Obi-Wan in 2005’s Revenge Of The Sith.

A source said: “Ewan will secretly film for the next Star Wars movie.

“Disney have been mulling over a stand-alone film for Obi-Wan. There have been concerns about getting the story right.”

Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Kelly Marie Tran and Mark Hamill are all also returning.

Carrie Fisher will appear in Star Wars 9 however.

LucasFilm president Kathleen Kennedy said earlier this year: “[Fisher's] absolutely phenomenal in the movie and we were so happy to complete shooting in the summer.

“Unfortunately [Fisher] passed away, so by the time we were well underway with Episode IX, in our thoughts we had not written the script yet but we regrouped, we started over in January.”

Although the plot has been kept under wraps, fans already know this is the last instalment which will be based around the Skywalker family.

Star Wars 9 will be released on 19 December 2019 in the UK.
