Actor Mark Hamill has taken to Twitter to give props to Disney CEO Bob Iger for letting a terminally ill Star Wars fan see The Rise of Skywalker in an early private screening. The Rowans Hospice in Hampshire, England, recently reached out to Disney via social media asking the Mouse House to fulfil a patient’s wish to see the final instalment in the Sequel Trilogy before he passes away. Last Thursday , Iger tweeted that the request had been granted, confirming that the unnamed man was able to watch the film with his family.

Hope the Rowan Hospice patient not only enjoyed the film, but gets an extra-special satisfaction in knowing he saw it before I did.” The screening of The Rise of Skywalker reportedly took place Friday morning, and...
