Solo: A Star Wars Story gets earlier UK release

March 28, 2018 by Matt Rodgers

When you read that there’s been a release date change on Solo: A Star Wars Story, knowing the asteroid field style bumpy ride to the big-screen that Ron Howard’s movie has taken, your mind can’t help but immediately flip to the dark side. However, on this occasion there’s some good news for certain territories, which get to see the Millennium Falcon dock in cinemas a day earlier than expected.

Lucasfilm confirmed that Solo: A Star Wars Story would be released in the UK, Australia, Argentina, Brazil, Russia, and certain other European territories on May 24th (be with you).
