Terminal Cancer patient asks Disney to see Star Wars...

[MikeTaylor]

taken from Time Magazine online:

Texan Daniel Fleetwood is suffering from spindle cell sarcoma, and was given two months to live in July. “With everything I’ve got, I love Star Wars,” he told local NBC affiliate KPRC. But he doesn’t think he’ll survive until Dec. 18, when The Force Awakens will open in theaters.

Support for his petition to see the film early has gained followers on social media under the hashtag #ForceForDaniel, and stars from the movie like Mark Hamill and John Boyega have retweeted a post asking to “help spread the word” about his cause.

Walt Disney Studios and Lucasfilm did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Such a shame. I hope they pull though for him. A friend who had terminal cancer was able to see Mockingjay part 1 due to some kindness of the studios.

It was just reported this morning that the man has died. :-( So glad he was able to see this before he passed.

Yes, glad he did see it. And I hope he is at peace, out of pain, and resting in a galaxy far, far away.
