If you want to be the first to see "Star Wars" Episode 7, you should be willing to first, shell some money, then second, fly Air France.

According to the report, the "Star Wars" Episode 7 will get a two-day early release for Air France customers.

"Because Air France and EuropaCorp Cinemas have teamed up to offer a special screening of Star Wars: The Force Awakens on 16 December," Metro said. "That's two whole days before its general release."

That means getting to be the first to see JJ Abrams' film would cost fans, like a lot.

"You see the screening comes as part of a 'flight and cinema' package, and only applies to four Air France flights flying from New York, San Francisco and LA on 15 December," it said. "Which means you'd first have to get yourself to the US, and then fly from there to France."

For instance, the average movie ticket price in the US is around $8.12.

Now the seven-hour flight between New York and Paris at Air France will cost around a thousand bucks for a round trip ticket.

Meanwhile, Harrison Ford talked about "Star Wars" Episode 7 as the promo for the film amped up ahead of its release during the Christmas holidays this year.

Speaking to the Jimmy Kimmel Live, the actor was dressed in a hotdog costume in time for Halloween.

"I can tell you this: It's really, really good," Harrison Ford said. "The new cast - Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Adam Driver and Oscar Isaac - are phenomenal. (Director J.J. Abrams) has made an incredible movie. You will not be disappointed at all. I promise you."

As to why Luke Skywalker wasn't in the movie poster of "Star Wars" Episode 7, Harrison Ford quipped, "there wasn't (any) room."

It's been speculated that Luke Skywalker is, in fact, Kylo Ren played by Adam Driver as Mark Hamill's character has reportedly gone rogue after being out of the Force for so long.

Harrison Ford told Jimmy Kimmel that Luke's absence in the movie poster will be explained in the story, which only serves to ratchet up the anticipation by fans on the "Star Wars" Episode 7 release this December.
