Patient’s Dying Wish to see ‘The Force Awakens’ Before Release

Terminally ill patient Daniel Fleetwood (32) is a huge Star Wars fan and fears he won’t be around when the latest instalment is released on December 18th. A Twitter campaign has begun to help grant Daniel his dying wish (#ForceForDaniel). Texas man Daniel is suffering from a connective tissue cancer called Spindle Cell Sarcoma. In July, he was given two months to live. Daniel says he has been a fan of Star Wars from 8 or 9 years-old. He spoke to KPRC-TV:

“ Judging by how progressive the disease has gotten in the past two months, I really don’t think that I’ll be able to make it.”

Star Wars actors Mark Hamill and John Boyega have both retweeted a post pleading for Disney to grant his wish. Actor Peter Mayhew also spread the word:
