Disney CEO Bob Iger grants dying fan's wish to watch 'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker' early
Disney is once again making dreams come true.
Bob Iger, Disney's CEO and chairman, granted the wishes of a dying "Star Wars" fan by letting him watch the latest installment of the franchise ahead of the film's release.
On Tuesday, Rowans Hospice in Hampshire, England tweeted out a plea on behalf of one of their patients.
"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," the hospice's account wrote. "If you know ANYBODY who might be able to make it happen, please share with them. Thank you."
