‘Star Wars’ Fan’s Dying Wish Is Granted

32-year-old Daniel Fleetwood was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer last July and was only given two months to live. His dying wish: To see an advanced screening of the upcoming Star Wars film, The Force Awakens.

His request just happened to reach Star Wars director J.J. Abrams who immediately made arrangements to make Daniel's last wish come true.

"To all our wonderful supporters, friends, family and awesome strangers: Daniels final dream was just granted!!! Today the wonderful Disney and Lucasfilms made his final dream come true, in the amazing typical Disney way, they really do make dreams come true," Daniel's wife Ashley posted on Facebook.

"Daniel just finished watching an unedited version of Star Wars: The Force Awakens!!! We would like to thank the awesomely talented JJ Abrams for calling us yesterday to tell us Daniel was getting his wish granted! We also would like to thank Lynne, Ben and Anahuac for coming to our home and screening the movie for Daniel. Lastly I want to thank ALL the amazing people who helped make this happen, thank you beyond words!!! May the force be with you all smile emoticon‪#‎forcefordaniel‬ !!!!"

Even better, Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker in the original Star Wars, tweeted, "I just read this and am elated for Daniel & his family! Thanks to the powers-that-be for making his dream come true."

Congratulations, Daniel!
