UPDATE:

“To all our wonderful supporters, friends, family and awesome strangers: Daniels final dream was just granted!!!” Fleetwood’s wife Ashley wrote Thursday on Facebook. “Today the wonderful Disney and Lucasfilms made his final dream come true, in the amazing typical Disney way, they really do make dreams come true!”

Ashley said that Daniel was given a private screening of the unedited version of the film at their home. In addition, director J.J. Abrams personally called to tell them that Daniel would be seeing the film.

“Lastly I want to thank ALL the amazing people who helped make this happen, thank you beyond words!!! May the force be with you all,” Ashley wrote.

Daniel has been a “Star Wars” devotee since he was 8 or 9 years old and was very much looking forward to seeing the next chapter in the iconic sci-fi series.

"Judging by how progressive the disease has gotten in the past two months I really don't think that I'll be able to make it," he said.

Mr Fleetwood said he hopes Walt Disney Studios, which made the film, will give him a private sneak peak.

His wife, Ashley, helped spark an online campaign to help make her husband's wish come true.

She called his love for the Star Wars franchise a "beautiful thing".

"Even if it's just a movie, that's magic for a lot of people," she told KPRC.

Support for Mr Fleetwood's cause was growing on Twitter, with fans urging the studio to "make it happen".

Mark and Star Wars newcomer John Boyega tweeted "Help spread the word. #ForceForDaniel."

Mrs Fleetwood called Mark Hamill support "amazing".


Campaign was launched to help Daniel Fleetwood, from Houston, Texas

Disney has enough money to cure freaking cancer, but yeah let's hope they'll let this poor guy have a special screening.

Moreover, I hope he actually likes it. I mean, we all know the final, prophetic line from the movie Fanboys, I guess...
