That’s a wrap on set for Star Wars VII as shooting came to a close at Pinewood Studios in England. To mark the end of the project, director J.J. Abrams and producers Kathleen Kennedy and Brian Burke wrote and signed a card thanking the cast and crew of the film for their hardwork – the card and a crew hat were pictured and tweeted for the world to see.
The note from Burke, Kennedy and Abrams reads:
“To the Extraordinary Cast and Crew of Episode VII:
It is a true honor and absolute joy to come to set every day and work alongside each of you. Your professionalism, passion and patience is more deeply appreciated than we could ever express. From the deserts of Abu Dhabi, to the Forest of Dean, to the stages of Pinewood, you have risen to every challenge and been as wonderfully kind as you are brilliantly talented. Our ambition here is large, of course, and it must be: we are here to make a film that entertains millions of people, of all ages, for generations. To create an experience people will cherish watching as much as we will cherish having made it, together. How lovely it would be if you had, in addition to your name on the screen, some actual real tangible proof that you were part of it! Here, then, is that proof. Wear it well, wear it healthily, wear it proudly. But, mostly, thank you.
With Love, JJ Abrams Kathleen Kennedy Bryan Burke”
