Daniel Fleetwood, the cancer patient who pleaded with “Star Wars” filmmakers to allow his to see the movie before he died, got his wish.
Fleetwood, 32, was invited at a special screening of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” ahead of its Dec. 18 release date thanks to the movie’s creators.
“We would like to thank the awesomely talented J.J. Abrams for calling us yesterday to tell us Danjel [sic] was getting his wish granted!” she wrote. “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.” h/t mtv
Fleetwood watched an unfinished version of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” along with his wife in the comfort of his Houston home, where he is currently receiving hospice care.
