‘He is now one with god and with the force'
Terminally ill Star Wars fan dies five days after seeing The Force Awakens at a special early screening. Daniel, 32, died in his sleep on Tuesday. Last week his quest to see the Star Wars movie went viral thanks to the hashtag #ForceForDaniel and support from the Star Wars franchise cast including John Boyega and Mark Hamill.
J.J. Abrams personally called Daniel to tell him that his dying wish had come true.
He was given a private screening of an unedited version of the movie last Thursday in his home.
Daniel was diagnosed with the rare cancer spindle cell sarcoma two years ago and in September was only given two months to live.
‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens' was co-written and directed by JJ Abrams and takes place 30 years after ‘Star Wars: The Return of the Jedi,” when the rebels crushed the Galactic Empire. While audiences will see some of their favorite actors return to their iconic roles, a new wave of villains and heroes are expected to appear in the new feature film.
‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens” features Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, Kenny Baker, Lupita Nyong'o, Gwendoline Christie and Pip Anderson.\
