March 19 (UPI) -- Oscar Isaac detailed what it felt like to finish filming Star Wars: Episode IX while appearing on Late Night with Seth Meyers.

Isaac will be reprising his role as talented Resistance pilot Poe Dameron in Episode IX, which is set to arrive in theaters on Dec. 20. Poe was introduced in 2015's Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the first film in the last trilogy of the Skywalker saga.

"By the end of it, it really was like, the emotion of the whole thing finally being over, you know that was just unbelievable. I mean, not only these three movies, but the whole Skywalker saga," Isaac said on Monday.

The Skywalker saga has been the central storyline through each mainline entry in the Star Wars series, following the adventures of Anakin Skywalker who becomes Darth Vader and his children, Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia.

Isaac also joked with Meyers about trying to squeeze into the Millennium Falcon. "I'm like, 'This is not made for ethnic people. Solo had very slender hips, didn't he,'" he said about trying to sit comfortably in the spaceship's cockpit.
