    A little bit of Disney magic was given to a very special family today. Bob Iger has confirmed that a dying man and his son will be able to see The Rise of Skywalker before its general release. This comes after a tweet where Rowans Hospice in Waterlooville, Hampshire sent out a plea on twitter, asking if they could do something for the man in his final hours.

    Can you help? We have a patient who's a HUGE #StarWars fan. Sadly, time is not on his side for the 20th Dec. His wish is to see the final Star Wars film #RiseOfSkywalker with his young son. If you know ANYBODY who might be able to make it happen, please share with them. Thank you

    The hospital also tweeted at J.J. Abrams and Mark Hamill who then retweeted the original post. It got Bob Iger’s attention and he jumped into action. Then he tweeted,

    On this Thanksgiving, we at @Disney are grateful to be able to share #TheRiseOfSkywalker with a patient and his family @RowansHospice. May the force be with you and with us all!

    A heartwarming story but also very sad. It’s nice that this father will get to spend some of his last time on this earth sharing this experience with his son. And it’s something that his son will surely remember forever.
