UK Star Wars release date brought forward
It's been confirmed Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens will be released in the UK on 17 December, a day earlier than previously announced.

It means audiences in British cinemas will get to see the the first instalment of the franchise's new trilogy a day ahead of fans in the US.

The news was confirmed in a tweet and on the official Star Wars UK Facebook page .

It means it will hit cinemas exactly 100 days from now (8 September).


Thanks to the rotating time zones, the UK would already have beaten the US, but now the UK will probably also beat Australia and New Zealand where it's usually first.
