Star Wars: The Force Awakens to release a day in advance in UK

If you thought a highly anticipated film that poses to make millions on opening night would release on the same day worldwide, you're wrong — even if the Star Wars site says it would. Someone at Disney decided that Star Wars: The Force Awakens should release in the UK a day before it releases on December 18th in the US (and presumably the rest of the world).

If this is true, that means the the internet will be ripe with spoilers, browsing the internet will no longer be a way to de-stress – it will be something that breeds stress. Which link will you click that spoils a huge part of the movie? What if the top YouTube comment is Dumbledore dies?!

Before I unravel my list of feels… There's something weird about this.

The UK release date was confirmed in a tweet and on the official Star Wars UK Facebook page, where people challenged the December 17th release date multiple times – only to have the official Star Wars page reply saying "The Force Awakens will definitely be released in the UK on the 17th December…"

So, it looks like you will be needed to keep yourself off of the internet to avoid spoilers come December 17.
