One of the peculiar things about the launch of the Disney+ streaming service, was the staggered launch dates around the world, in particular, important Star Wars communities such as the U.K. The company offered a bit of respite today announcing that they've moved the launch date ahead in not only the U.K., but other Western European countries as well.



Here's part of the press release...
