This is very sound.
The release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is now just over two weeks away, and fans around the world are buzzing to see how the saga ends.
One die-hard Star Wars fan in Rowans Hospice in the UK feared that he wouldn’t get to see the movie, due to his terminal illness.
But after the hospice put out a call on Twitter, Disney brought the Star Wars movie to him, and he got to see it weeks before its release.
The patient said that he felt as if he had “won a million pounds”, and that he still couldn’t believe that he actually got to see it.
He said: “I just want to say the biggest thank you to everyone that has helped to make this happen.
“During what is just a horrible situation to be in, you have helped to make some wonderful memories and bring some joy to my family.
“I am a huge Star Wars fan and what I am going through is completely dire. Then to top it all, I thought I wasn’t going to see the film I have been waiting to see since 1977. I still can’t believe it.
“The only way I can describe this to you is to say that this must be what it feels like to be told you have won a million pounds!”
This morning, a very nice man named Jonathan from Disney turned up at our Hospice with a laptop that had a very important movie on it. Our amazing patient has now seen #StarWars #RiseofSkywalker with his son 💚
