Ever since the teaser trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi was released at Celebration a couple of months ago, fans have been poring over every detail trying to figure out where the next entry could possibly lead.
Though Lucasfilm had previously announced the release date of December 15 for the movie, it looks like fans in the United Kingdom will have an opportunity to see the film earlier. Disney revealed the film will now be released in theaters one day earlier on December 14.
The Last Jedi is still scheduled for December 15 in the United States and everywhere else—the new date is only for the UK.
So if you’re absolutely dying to see the film as soon as you possibly can, you might want to book a flight to somewhere in the UK. And make sure you get your passport ready for the trip.
