#ForceForDaniel Star Wars Campaign Grants Dying Fan His Final Wish
 |
| The New Daily |
In 2013 JJ Abrams granted a similar wish when a dying Star Trek fan was granted a screening of the latest movie. Daniel's girlfriend took to Facebook to thank everyone involved in making Daniel's dream a reality.
Mr. Fleetwood had been a huge fan of the Star Wars franchise since he was a young child. He was even featured in a local newspaper 12 years ago camping out to see Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith. Big stars from the film such as Mark Hamill got behind the campaign along with thousands of social media users, which gave the campaign the momentum it needed to gain the attention of movie executives. Before the early screening was authorised, Mr Fleetwood told People magazine that when he was growing up he would "watch the movies over and over and analyse every little detail".
He said that if he were to see the movie, he "might actually die from happiness". Daniel had to sign a confidentiality agreement in order to watch the latest predicted blockbuster, and has since been flooded with requests for details on the movie. Disney said that "all involved were happy to be able to make it happen," International Business Times reported.
