A Star Wars fan in hospice is not expected to live long enough to see Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker when it is released in theaters on December. But a representative from Disney went to Rowans Hospice in England with a laptop containing the movie and showed it to the patient.

The hospice staff also held a Star Wars themed party for the man and his family. "We were joined by Stormtroopers, wookies and droids and a brilliant time was had by all," tweeted a staffer.
