I’m pretty sure that someone here on the forum, that is those that aren’t from the US, will see TFA a day or two earlier than that countdown timer shows.
I definitively will, and I’m going into an internet “blackout” starting the 15th since that’s TFA’s earliest release date, and I don’t want any spoilers.
The clock is based on the U.S. release date. Sorry international fans.
The first new thing on the front page in six years ought to be cause for celebration around here. 😉
