Terminally ill Star Wars fan Daniel Fleetwood who saw 'Force Awakens' dies
Daniel Fleetwood had one dying wish, to see "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" before the end came.
Fleetwood and his wife were worried that the mega-fan wouldn't live long enough to see the Dec. 18 premiere, so his wife Ashley started a hashtag campaign #ForceForDaniel caught the attention of social media, KTRE reported.
"Force Awakens" director JJ Abrams called the Fleetwoods and on Nov. 5, Daniel was able to see a rough cut of the long-awaited film at his Texas home.
Tuesday, Ashley posted to Facebook that Daniel's fight was over. He died in his sleep.
